Actually, "indiglo" (chemical backlighting) might cause interferance because of its high frequency switching...

Why not try plutonium? That stuff is pretty bright, it'll give your mouse a nice green glow...

The only reason I switched to a Swann mini mouse was that the puck mouse had only one button, otherwise the whole concept of it being finger driven, rather than hand driven makes i…

Zounds! do u have a url to some of that stuff?

Thanks a lot guys !!! I tried your suggestions and look what happend

I hate it when that happens Fletch

I put a blue led light in my mouse about 5 months ago and I haven't had any problems till now.... I have a orginal Bondi (thus the blue led) and the light that I have installed is…

Yeah, I have an idea. DON'T buy ANYTHING from Radio Shack! Thier quality control isn't all that great. What you think might be a real low voltage led might just be bright enough to…

Yeah, Radio Shack definitely sucks. I ordered a simple part (a radio wire) from them and they had to order it from Radio Shack Headquarters. When it came in the mail, it was the wr…

Sine, RE my earlier post about LEDS causing interference on the USB bus. Regular LEDS should cause little or no problem. But I wasn't talking about regular ones, I was talking abou…

Hey blizaine, Good one! You made me crap my pants!

Hey guys, I just finished watching a episode of "Michael Holigan's - Your New House." In this episode they showed how you could use fiber optics to light the perimeter of your poo…

Hey Smiz, i think your problem is you bought a low voltage LED. Basically a 1.5V LED. The usb power is 5V! this would explain why it was Very bright, then now intermittant. Next t…

I just solved a wierd 'bug' with my Swann USB mini mouse. Since yesterday, my mouse stopped moving up and down at around the same time of day. I'd installed the multimedia updater…

That is weird. Why don't you try some blinking lights or move near a traffic light.

I'm going to use a blue permanent marker on the inside of the case, around the area of the opto pickups. Hopefully, that should cure it for the 3 or 4 days a year we have bright su…

iPort uses the IrDA connector on 'old' iMacs to supply a serial port. I just noticed the IrDA port on my iMac Rev D motherboard, so I thought it would be possible to solder a conne…

Thats a good point, the builtin IRDA module on the iMac used the serial port, If it would be possible to find the components/chips used for the serial connecter, and then the chip …

I have a 350 Mhz G3/B&W with an internal DVD drive. I would much rather have an internal CD-RW drive. I would be willing to remove the DVD if necessary, but would rather have …

i was in the same boat as you a few months ago. my b/w g3 will not accomodate 2 cd drives without taking a hacksaw to the case, which i am loath to do (investigating other tower c…

I'm assuming that you're going to be installing Toast. Make sure you install the software first, then swap out the drives. TOAST CD READER has to be installed before you can read…

I've found Intech's CD/DVD Speed Tools to be mush more robust than Toast CD Reader... and it doesn't get in the way of toast either.

Has anyone tried one of the combo DVD-CD-RW's in their first gen B&W G3/350/DVD yet? Ricoh MP9060A Toshiba SD-R1002 4X/4X/24X CDRW and DVD ROM http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/dr…

You don't need to have the Toast Cd Reader installed or whatever, somewhere in the forums (sorry I can't be more specific - I'll have a look for this post) there is a post about ha…

The only problem with using the zip bay on the B/W G3, is that the metal casing is only big enough for a zip drive or a normal size hard disk. definitely not enough for a CD-RW uni…
