The 233, 266, and 333 MHz iMacs have an ADB chip on the logic board but no connector. Griffin Technology's iMate USB to ADB adaptor accesses this chip. Also, with considerable eff…

I know the ADB circuitry is on-board which is why I think the monitor is using it. We wouldn't have to solder on the choke coils etc (which I couldn't find btw because of bad speci…

By the way, the iMate is not accessing the ADB circuitry because then it wouldn't work on the USB equiped PowerBooks, G3s, G4s or the new iMacs, as they lack ADB circuitry.

then comes the inevitable question, but why??? everything you could do with ADB has been implemented into USB, embrace the future (or present, as the case may be) [This message ha…

a) because it's fun to do so. b) because I want a cheap way to hook up my Gravis Blackhawk to my iMac. The iMate is NOT a cheap way.

i opened up my dv/se, and on my way replacing the shield in the bottom, i dropped a screw in! when i turned it back on again, the corner of the monitor closest to where i dropped t…

That's peculiar.

I believe that the screw was magnatized (either from new or by your screwdriver). And it probably drew some of the phosphoras (sp?) away from the corner. I think today's monit…

i think mr. loaf got it. see, i used a drill to remove some of the screws, and although i tested to make sure it wasnt magnetized, i guess it could have been anyway. perhaps from t…

More info here. More info here. Note: I didn't do it! Am perfectly happy with my stock G4 case. [This message has been edited by reader50 (edited 06-27-2000).]

Whoever did that must have really screwed up the 3 in the G3, it looks like a heart rathrer than the traditional mickey mouse... I swear the 3 is closer to the apple...

The second pic came from this arstechnica thread, about midway down. Just now, the three "Blackintosh" pics seem to be unavailable, btw. At least, it is not a link to AI.

Ha! The further info link works now, and I have posted it under the second picture. Here is another "Blackintosh" pic. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?...160&Sequence=1 …

I think it looks dumb. The case is black and clear (cool) but the APPLE IS STILL GAY BLUE! No offense if you are gay. Its just a pansy color. Err.r.... sorry if you are a pan…

You void the warranty by putting in another hard drive? Where does it say that? That's dumb!

I wasnt trying to offend everyone. I was trying to make them laugh. But that requires some intelligence and a sense of humor, and considering you have neither, never respond to a…

I think he is a moron, actually. How could you void a warranty by installing a needed system component? Do you void the warranty by installing RAM? Installing a PCI card? The only …

trolling? hmm, what was that you were saying about intelligence?

Notice how he completely destroyed his message, after realizing that putting in a hard drive won't void a warranty. Rivak, I would like you to do HALF the stuff that Ca$h did with …

oh well, thank you both for flaming me, i feel really welcome at this bbs now. and why would i do something that ca$h did? i want to do something original instead of putting LEDs …
