My 200 MHz Motorola StarMax 4000 MT was great. Very clean design (even if it did look like a PC), something I've always liked in a case. Also, it was pretty well upgradeable, eve…

I wonder how many on this forum actually ever had one? I know that I felt it was the best decision at the time, coming out of The Dark Times right before the second coming of Mr. J…

I had a radius for a few weeks, hated it power pc with nubus, cpu soldered to the logic board, and every single peice of it was rivited to the case so you could not change hard dr…

Quad-CPU MaxxBoxx! Oh, I'd like to have one!

Hi, Sent you a PM.

Unfortunately macgreg was taken on MacTalk The iMacs are very tough too - my 4 year old son inserted three CD-ROMS into a slot load drive at once - I extracted them all and th…

First, the good news. I just got a new Apple IIe for free from a friend! It's got a printer, color monitor, and two disk drives. Now, the bad. The power supply shorted out within …

Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.

So I've got this Quicksilver that I've had for quite sometime now, but unfortunately, its spent more time occupying my closet floor than being used. What is this thing good to use …

As the others have stated Alkaline, NiMH and Nicad batteries are mostly harmless, unless your handling large amounts of juice over long periods of time, scrub down good with hot wa…

The PRAM battery is a NiCd, so no need to worry about lithium. However, cadmium is none too good for humans (and nickel isn't benign, either). Casual exposure is unlikely to be a p…

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with m…

Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD burner, and see how it fares. I suspect I'll be able to get a r…

Using the "set-defaults" command with resets seemed to bring the FireWire back on a 12" G4 867 MHz for me. It was having a similar problem recognizing drives at the volume select …

Hey greg - thought you might be kicking around here too! Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD bur…

I think it was boot-usb? I was actually talking about it to a friend saturday night, he couldn't remember the exact command but he remember his issue well. Two iBook G4s, one coul…

Nice work - iMacs of that vintage are really well built and surprisingly usable machines. My wife used a 400MHz one for ages - the only reason she upgraded to an eMac was for the …

Hi, I've never had/or been given a slot-loading iMac before, so i was rather pleased to receive two today - and my favourite colour, the dark blue models! One has a perfect CRT b…
