I have an 81/110 Radius unit and it is built like a tank (and has a normal mac video connection unlike the 8100).

My 200 MHz Motorola StarMax 4000 MT was great. Very clean design (even if it did look like a PC), something I've always liked in a case. Also, it was pretty well upgradeable, eve…

I wonder how many on this forum actually ever had one? I know that I felt it was the best decision at the time, coming out of The Dark Times right before the second coming of Mr. J…

I had a radius for a few weeks, hated it power pc with nubus, cpu soldered to the logic board, and every single peice of it was rivited to the case so you could not change hard dr…

Quad-CPU MaxxBoxx! Oh, I'd like to have one!

that could be connected through the serial (printer or modem) port Click to expand... We need those drivers ...

Hi, Sent you a PM.

Unfortunately macgreg was taken on MacTalk The iMacs are very tough too - my 4 year old son inserted three CD-ROMS into a slot load drive at once - I extracted them all and th…

(btw I am gregh from MacTalk...) Click to expand... Oh hey, I had no idea you were on MacTalk. I'm over there with you and Byrd as well, same name as here. Really nice little …

Inexpensive cost but they are trying to charge me $56.80 to ship to Canada... Click to expand... Just one of many reasons not to use ebay.

I use my quicksilver with EyeTv as a PVR. Occasionally I import a tv show into iMovie and burn it to a DVD for someone. Wayne

You could use it as extra processing for re encoding videos and such. Or as a remote iTunes player. Or extra processing for someone else. Check out Folding@Home.

As the others have stated Alkaline, NiMH and Nicad batteries are mostly harmless, unless your handling large amounts of juice over long periods of time, scrub down good with hot wa…

The PRAM battery is a NiCd, so no need to worry about lithium. However, cadmium is none too good for humans (and nickel isn't benign, either). Casual exposure is unlikely to be a p…

Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD burner, and see how it fares. I suspect I'll be able to get a r…

Hey greg - thought you might be kicking around here too! Both seem to have sucky optical drives - neither iMac likes booting from these. So it's time to drag my old FW DVD bur…

Nice work - iMacs of that vintage are really well built and surprisingly usable machines. My wife used a 400MHz one for ages - the only reason she upgraded to an eMac was for the …

it is an absolute monster. Click to expand... Which is the lone reason I did not bid on it. My wife would have killed me. I get away with more compact purchases though. He h…

That's a great find - must be very rare in that condition. Considering this, $78.88 is peanuts. I have a very similar external SCSI drive, a 5.25" full height drive inside a Formac…

Lithium leaks are BAD if you get them on you. Most alkaline will just mess up your skin if you dont wash, a mild acid will get rid of it (vinegar, lemon).

good news! I let it sit over night and it powered up and booted!!

Try removing and replacing the ROM chips. Make sure the notches all face the edge of the board, not the center. If you get any kind of response at all from this then bars or black …

A powered USB hub should do it then Wayne
