Okay, Trout, you were partly right in that they are targetting PCI Macs and ZIF-based Macs first, but the press release from Powerlogix states "Future PowerForce Dual models will s…

You got be kidding, the announcement was made at MWSF january 5th 2000. Last sentence of the pressrelease: Orders are being accepted for shipment in February at a suggested retai…

Anyone know where i could get the DualG4 Daughtercard/Heatsink/Gigabit ethernet-chip? where to buy parts for new Mac comps? Can it be tricked out of Apple? any info...

Is it possible to modify the case of the old i-mac to allow for ventilation, thereby enabling one to get rid of that noisy fan (as with the new i-macs, if I'm not mistaken)??

Sure, take a drill and put holes all over the top and sides of the case..... Seriously though, I don't think so. Does anybody know if the guts of the new iMacs are arranged differ…

I am not sure exactly how but i know that the new "guts" of the iMacs are arranged quite differently to allow more efficient cooling without a fan than the originals. As for punchi…

Hey Markhers! BLOODY MURDER! BLOODY MURDER! LOOK AT THESE "HOOOORRRRIIIBBBLLLLEEEEEE" people! They're POSTING MESSAGES WITH CRIMINAL INTENT! They WANT to RUIN and CORRUPT thes…

Actually, I have a shirt that says "Harvard sucks, but Princeton swallows".

Apple went with new "short neck" CRT displays in the fanless models. I believe they use less energy, allowed the iMac logic board to be pushed further back in the case, and, coupl…

Just wondering: is there any way to make the Mac continue to play through the speakers even with something in the audio out-plug? Software or hardware, anything goes. (What I real…

Just a small info: LinuxPPC does that by default

OK, so it's a software issue? I'll move the question then.

I don't really have any helpful advice, but I am also interested in a solution to this problem. I would like to put some satellite speakers in my bedroom but still be able to liste…

Hello, I am curious. Is there any cd-rw or cd-r which can replace the atapi matshita cd-dvd-rom drive in an iMac slotloading machine. Or must I cut the Imac case? I also wouldn't…

Don't know about replacing the dvd drive, but there are people out there who just bought really long IDE/power extension cables and ran the ribbon out the side of their case (using…

This may not be helpful to you yet, but Toshiba has recently released a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive. Unfortunately, it's PC-only and not slot-loading. However, according to their we…

Hi, I knew of the existance of the cd-rw/dvd combo of toshiba. Appearantly Steve must have contacted toshiba to tell them about my idea I posted on the apple imac support pages, a…

Very impressive research! Gee, a slot-loading cdrw/dvd would be a great drive to put in all of Apple's desktop machines. I hope they do it.

thanks..... Now only hope and wait .. (but not to long)

Ok, so these Toshiba drives do in fact work on Macs? The thing is I can understand them working with the IDE/ATA interface on macs, its just the fact you'd need drivers to run the …

We have an old Performa 575 laying around (33 MHz, 36 MB RAM, 250 MB HD, etc.) and were wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to a 601 or 603 PPC AND upgrade the HD to somewhe…

I haven't heard of any specific ones for this series of computer but there maybe some around somewhere. The thing is I don't think it would be very cost effective. Even around seco…

I did find some prices for an upgrade and it was outrageous!! $500 some odd dollars to take me to a 603 75 MHz! I think a rev B would be a much better choice. Thanks.
