The CompUSA up the road from me has two 450mhz cubes still. I want a cube, but they're still asking $1399 for them, and I've seen em much cheaper online. I also want the dvd mode…

I've seen them go for around $900 on eBay (450Mhz / DVD). Not much of a performance diff between 450Mhz and 500Mhz though. A more noticeable boost will be from the graphics card …

Hi, I know this has been covered in the past. My G4 (466 digital audio with 640 MB Ram and two hd) has a constant subtle noise which sounds like the sound an hard drive does when…

Anyone ? Please ... Alessandro

I had a problem where a "buzz" sound would appear at regular intervals; not sure if it's the same thing you're getting. My problem came from the mass of wires coming down verticall…

Yeah, sounds like some sort of vibration whine to me

Does your graphics card have a fan on it? Mine does and it makes just the sort of cyclical noise that you mention. You can open the machine while it's running and put your finger …

My wife was eager to start using the new iBook I bought her for having published her first book, received her PhD, and stayed married to me for 10 years (I figured one cool laptop …

I believe that any machine that has a 10/100 port is going to be more finicky than a machine that has a 10 port. Part of the n-way auto-negotiation (for speed and duplex settings)…

I've been networking iBook with my work Ethernet and at home with my beige G3/300. I use a cheap Ethernet hub and Cat 5 cabling. Frank

Ok, since this topic seems to attract a few networking nerd, i'll see if you guys can help me ; ) I'm about to go wireless (got the Base, card due tomorrow) with an iBook, Airpor…

try Epson Share http://www.epsonshare.com/epsonShare/softUS.htm which seems to be designed to do the job you want.

I noticed that my iBook takes an awfull long time after the extensions have loaded to display the normal finder window. Anybody experiencing the same . . . and does anybody know a …

Try trashing the energy saver preferences. I read somewhere that that would fix it. I tried it and it didn't work though, I ended up doing a clean install of OS 9 when I got it a…

have you tried using startup doubler? that might help.....does anyone know if this is compatible with Mac OS 9 or iBook...thats one way I would go about it.

Startup doubler seems to work fine on 8.6 on my iBook. But as far as taking ages to get the desktop up after loading the extensions, try rebuilding the desktop (option-command held…

Okay, some judicious tinkering with the extensions manager has revealed that the culprit was the ethernet (Apple Enet) extension. The symptoms are that after the loading of all ext…

If you don't use ethernet, then switch off Appletalk (put it on remote only from its control panel) and file sharing. That should speed it up a bit.

Hey friends, I don't intend to demean any of the previous postings on this problem, but I don't think anyone has identified the real cause of the startup delay problem. Here it is:…

Good, indepth explaination margrave, just the way I like it. Thanks! -joe- ------------------ iMac (Lime 233), iBook (Tangerine), SE/30.

Unfortunately, while that my be a problem with some of us that isn't the case here. The servers folder (in the systemfolder) is empty).

Is your ethernet connection set to use DHCP? If so, at every boot it will search for a DHCP server and if one isn't found in about 15 seconds, it assigns itself a 169.x.x.x number.…

That might well be it, time is about right and the TCP/IP control panel was set to DHCP THX
