Well I must just be the exception. I've had my Orb drive since October and it has been great. No problems with disks, I have three of them. Just prior to purchasing the Orb I bo…

I must be lucky too. I've had my ORB for about 4 months now. I have 4 disk with no problems at all. In fact, I'm buying another disk today.

Well I must be really lucky. I've had a Jaz drive for 3 years now and I've NEVER had a problem, and for the last five months I've had a scsi cdr, scanner AND the Jaz hooked to my D…

I have a PC user friend (but he's very nice to Macs, mind you) who owns an external 1GB Jaz and an internal Orb. I have been using the Jaz now that he got the Orb, and I am please…

I got a SCSI Orb when they first came out. I had some trouble at first, but much of this was because of changes (improvements) in the drivers. I lost all of the data on one of my d…

hello I'm looking for an unix-like for my LC2 a NeXTstep version (if it runs so well on my LC2) would be the best. Thank you for help me on my research ... of the truth ! (hi hi) …

The 9 GB hard drive on my brand-new B&W 400 mhz crashed and was diagnosed by Apple tech support as "dead". It was replaced under warranty by an Apple certified service dept. B…

Yes, that is probably right. 8.5 GB 8.5*1024 = 8704 MB 8704*1024 = 8912896 KB Most people just look at the 8912896 KB and call it 9 GB (when it really is only 8.5 GB) because they…

I apologize for the stupidness of my question, but I know nothing really about microphones. Myself and two friends are all out to buy new (external) microphones for our computers. …

They are all the same.

They are not the same. PC microphones will not work on the Mac, reverse is probably also true.

PC Microphones are straightforward analog microphones, usually with minijack plugs. These can be used on a Mac for audio recording, but not for speech recognition, for which you ne…

I am not so sure about that. I recently tried a microphone made for the PC, although it work on the PC, it does not work on the Mac, even for audio recording. Also, I found that …

My magazine has a collection of Macs and PCs. From my experience, they do not work identically. I've used a Mac microphone on a PC, but the sound level was way off. Ditto for using…

Microphone signals need to be amplified for use with a Mac. The PlainTalk microphone, with it's longer plug, is powered by the computer. Other devices that provide a line level s…

A PC mic will not work with a Power Mac (although it will with much older 040 Macs). You can, however, use a PC mic using Griffin's NEMic adapter.

Basically, the Mac's mike jack is not a mike jack, it is a Line In jack, standard 2V P-P. tooki

So, Misha, where can I get one of those Griffin adapters? want to get a headset/mic but don't want to buy Via Voice just to get one... if Griffins's adapter works, I should be able…

Unfortunately I had expected a cheapo PC microphone to 'just work' with it being an analogue device. Interestingly, you can buy an amp that would make it work, but which costs fiv…

where in the boot process does the 120 crash? Just a wild guess here....my Power Computing machine has a reset button on the mother board called a CUDA switch. Try pressing that an…
