Is there any way to set up a Powerbook to use the internal speakers at the same time as a set of USB speakers?

I'm thinking that Detour would do what you're looking for.

I don't think is what he needs I'm just guessing here.... I friend of mine has USB speakers and, to me, the sound is pretty low.... If you said you wanna internal speakers and USB …

Any opinions on the best hard drive - with the largest capacity I can swap for my stock 60Gig drive?

I've been happy with Hitachis. I think the largest capacity from any manufacturer currently is 80GB.

The fastest is the Hitachi (formerly IBM) Travelstar 7k60 which is a 7200rpm 60GB drive. The largest is the Hitachi 5k80 which is a 5200rpm 80GB drive. The 7200 rpm one is somethin…

Hmm. Thanks. I guess I should wait for larger drives. Can't see getting a new drive for only 20 more gigs. Thanks for the info....will keep an eye on Hitachi.

wow... what are you trying to do with 80G+ on a lap?? That's a ton of room if you ask me. That 80G did get some decent review when I last checked. H!

Why not just buy a FW/USB external hdd unit. I think the largest one out is either 250 or 300GB now.

Hi All, I'm going to be buying a 15 or 17" PB here shortly, and was wondering if there are any good port replicators out there so that I can hook up an external cinema display, et…

Good question...I've been wondering the same thing. Edit - I did find these, not sure how good they are...but look okay. A little on the expensive side though. Doesn't look lik…

Thank you. I'm very surprised to find that replicators aren't very common for the powerbook line. As popular as they are I would have thought someone would have launched a nice d…

I used a BookEndz dock for my Ti 400 and honestly, it wasn't worth the expense ($250). You have to line it up just right and spend a lot of time futzing with it to get it to work …

I don't get it. Even if you use a replicator you're still plugging and unplugging from the Powerbook. So the wear and tear is the same either way. I think there are two main reaso…

Random idea I had the other day. Most of Apple's high end desktops have been dual processor for a while, why not offer that possibility in a laptop? Well, shoving two CPUs inside…
