They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…

Problem with PowerBook G4 Superdrive — #4

Happy Tenth to the B/W G3! — #34

I have just landed one with hard drive controller issues, downgraded and the b/w is back to normal! Lovely how the legacy keyboard gets used plus a working narrow scsi in 10.4.11! …

Well, it seems to have decided to fix itself after I made an appointment at the Genius Bar; funny how these machines fix themselves when you call Apple

Apple IIc video cable type? — #9

Great, thanks. So, suppose I have one of those sets of three different cables attached together? So it's red, yellow, and white on both ends, and they're separate cables, just glu…

Apple IIc video cable type? — #7

If you have a cable that has one connector on one end, and three on the other; then it's the wrong cable. The cable you want is properly titled an "RCA connector to RCA connector"…

Sounds cool. I've never seen a 120 before. I've got a 100, 2000. and 2100. Definitely cool. Any reason you picked the 120?
