Just to clarify for some: the ROM in the Rev. A Beige G3 does not allow for master/slave configuration on the IDE Bus. Swapping it out with a Rev. B or Rev. C ROM will give you tha…

If I understand correctly, IDE is controlled by the CPU, so an ATA card won't get rid of that overhead...I'm not positive on that though, since I didn't do the ATA HD interface for…

Evangellydonut � (Great name, btw.) Anyway, what's this about the Fireball Plus LM only being able to come up with ?27MB/sec? It's a ATA/66 drive (or at least, it was advertised…

B&W G3 handles ATA/100 or ATA/66 drives fine using Drive Setup 1.9.2. No need to use FWB (3.02 doesn't support OS 9 and 4.0 sounds buggy). Apple ships some current G4 configura…

ATA/66 drives doesn't mean it'll transfer files at such speed, only means that it supports such interface. Currently, the fastest IDE HD avilable is the IBM Deskstar75GXP, and that…

Okay. I think I've got this straight. After all this, the bottom line seems to be that the ROM upgrade would be the way to go, since the mobo can handle more than the drive is capa…

In theory, DVD RAM capable (if you can get a DVD RAM slot loader) or CD-RW. 75 Gig drive, 1.5 gig ram, and maybe Ca$h could swap the Rage 128Pro for an AGP Radeon when they're avai…

Cube mods??? Honestly, could we wait until they actually ship before thinking of ways to tear them apart?

Actually, the cube has a AGP2x slot, so a voodoo5 would fit nicely int here wouldnt it? But seriously. HOLY **** . I want one SOOO bad. Anyone want my iMac? DVD and AGP2x, +…

I thought they were cool too, until I started thinking about it. No PCI slots, and you can bet Apple's done their very best to make them non-upgradeable, (they seemed to do a prett…

Ca$h, the V5 AGP will NOT fit in the iBorg. From what I read, the V5 itself is 13 inches in length! Mac hobbiest will get the dual CPU G4 tower, since that's got much more juice f…

I don't see how you could fit a Raedon, Voodoo, or GeForce in a cube for a few reasons. 1) The Voodoos are way too big 2) The GeForce and Raedon both require fans or large heatsin…

1) Voodoo will definitely NOT fit. It's way too big and way too hot. a quad V5 (6000) will raise the ambient temperature by almost 10C! 2)Radeon has a built-in fan on board. Might …

is it possible? would it be too hard to make? i guess it wouldn't have to be completely waterproof, but at least enough to survive the beach or the rain. that would definitly be th…

1. clear silicone 2. the balls to take it apart. Go nuts, take it apart and seal everything Here's the only con I see.... laptops NEED AIR!!! What you could do is glue on a r…

Why would u want to go outside to compute (while its raining) that makes no sense at all for you to take a computer in the rain

SHRINKWRAP IT!* Open the iBook the widest (comfortably) and wrap it with plastic foil (that one used to wrap your turkey sandwiches) several times, making sure the keyboard and sc…

thanks, everyone who replied. i dont have an ibook yet, but if this was possible, i was thinking of getting one to try this on. SHRINKWRAP IT! - i was thinking of something like t…

Shrinkwrapping an iBook would just give you an iBook full of condensation. The alchoholic iBook idea would work in theory, but it would do very nasty things to the screen. I think …

I have just reconsidered the "Alcoholic iBook" part. It would be better if your used Johnsonn's Baby Oil instead. I am going to do the experiment with a 4-function calculator.

godfather-what makes you think to use baby oil? i was just wondering what it is about baby oil that would make it good for sealing something. dabradda

There used to be a gizmo called a Trans-mitt for radio controlled aircraft transmitters. It was basically a bag, with 2 hand holes that you put the transmitter in and wore like a p…

Oil is a very good insulator .It is used by the circuit breakers in power substations to interrupt the thousands of amps that could be originated by a power failure in a transmissi…

I really want a waterproof ibook...so heres a few more ideas Wacky wax! Remove the screen and fill it with the kind of wax they use at wacky wax(wax that doesn't have to be warm t…
