Well I presume by now you've all gotten yours too... mine arrived on Wednesday and I haven't left it's side since! This is probably where all of you are too. I'm wildly astounded…

From MACNN: Apple is now shipping selected G4/400 machines pre-installed with Mac OS 9, according to several sources. CDW confirms that the G4/400 machines with part #M7824LL/A h…

Well, I ordered my G4/400 on 9/27 from the Apple Store; as of just a few moments ago (12/13/99, 77 days later if I've added correctly), they're still "sorry about the delay" and "c…

I ordered mine Nov 26 and received it Dec 9. It got what I ordered which was a G4/400 with no modem, 10GB, 64MB, DVD, nozip. It also had MacOS9 pre-installed. I haven't gotten i…

I ordered my BTO G4-450 (from the Apple Store for Education) at around 3am Dec 6 (Monday). The site gave a 7 day waiting period. On Friday, Dec 10, I got an email from apple sayi…

Scott: Hang in there. My G4 took 74 days to deliver. The delay was because of the BTO Hard drive being out of stock (18GB SCSI). I hated having to wait so long, but it was wort…

It's nine days later. Apple says next week, but they've said that several times before. Is there anybody else who ordered before 10/1 who hasn't gotten their machine? It's pretty…

I would like to know if it is possible to install an internal CDRW inside a G4 or an iMac. Is it less expensive than buying a USB drive? Thanks

I did exactly this on my G4. I removed the DVD drive and inserted a Ricoh MP-7040A CDRW into the bay, put it all together and closed it all up. Well...I booted the thing up and i…

I was thinking of replacing the CD-ROM drive in my B&W G3 with an internal IDE CD-RW. If I do so, will I still be able to boot up from the CD-RW drive like I am able to with th…

does this mean that you cannot have two drives in the G4s (meaning an internal DVD and an internal cdrw)? that would be kind of stupid wouldn't it? thanks

When installing a IDE CD-RW in a G4, will I need a special piece of software (driver) for Mac?

milocat - The reason you cannot have two drives is that there is no room on the front panel for another tray-loading drive. You could pull out the Zip disk (if you have one), bu…

The internals of the G3/G4 case only allow the mounting of a 3 1/2 inch device into the second bay, which is kinda annoying..... If you connect a CD-RW in place of your Cd-ROM or …

I know some of these things have already been said, but here's a summary: 1. It is definitely not possible to put a CDRW drive in an iMac, as I have not seen any internal drives w…

You most certainly can put an internal CDRW in the B&W G3 or G4. EZ Quest sells an internal ATAPI CDRW for the G3 or G4 called the BOA, I've done this to my B&W and it work…

You CAN put a cdrw into an iMac. It isn't a standard drive though. I don't remember the name of the company but the specs were 4/2/20 and it replaced the cd drive that comes in th…

Here's the link to get the PowerCDR internal cdr for an iMac. ( I was wrong about the rewritable part sorry) http://www.techworks.com/products/powercdr.html $299 [This message…

afe: reread carefully what I wrote. I said "It is impossible to have 2 CD-ROM/DVD/CDRW drives in a Blue G3/G4, as these devices require a half-height 5.25 inch drive bay, of which …

Tooki, I wrote this in reference to rlubbat's question about the internal CDRW in his G3. I should've stated such. AFE

There was a guy over on dealmac.com that put an internal CDRW drive in his G4; seems to me he kept the DVD drive too. He just took out the zip. His major problem was TEMPERATURE,…

RBM - where did you buy a new Cube? I'm sure there are a lot of people that would like to know!

Well guys... I'm fairly new to the Mac world... though I did used to follow when I was a kid... back in the time of the classics and stuff. I've done my research since I joined th…

Check out The Cube-Zone for lots of information about the Cube. The Cube was introduced in the summer of 2000 and was discontinued a year later, after one revision that saw the ad…

I had a dream last night that the cube was reintroduced but with three (3) 133MHz G3 processors. It was a really weird dream. I seriously had this dream last night. Weird.
