I got a Presario 2100 a few days ago, similar specs to this. Nice catch, but is it a clunker?

I have an XP2000+ Athlon in an older game rig here, it is a very nice chip. That video card is a bit crappy, but for free its good enough. My system has a slightly newer Geforce F…

It's an HP Pavilion 742n. Not too shabby I guess. 1.6GHz AMD Athlon 2000+XP 768MB of ram 60GB HD Nvidia Geforce 2MX, I dunno, better then my emachines video card. and.... FULL…

Yeah I don't mind if they stay powered on... I leave my main PC speakers on all the time since turning them off means moving the volume control and I hate having to find the prime …

I too can testify to the awesome quality of the Apple Design Speakers II. Got my pair a few years back, they've been the only thing I've needed. (Sure I've heard speakers with …

The AppleDesigns are among the best sound computer speakers I have heard. They easily rival the 'pod' speakers that came with some Power Macs/Cube/iMacs; and are better than the 5…

Holy crap these sound nice!

Send me a PM with a note of your email address. I definitely have the files somewhere and will look them out for you. You do need the software to use the card.

Picked them up today for my Mac Mini since the internal speaker is useless for trying to do anything audio related. Cost me $15 and like $5 in gas.

In a nutshell: The manual and disks definitely look as though they were released at some point. Many of the clip art images are simply MacDraw versions of the images found in other…

Ahh, its ok....these things happen to the best of us. :I I've lost count of how many times I've wondered why something's not working, only to realise it wasn't plugged in......

My problem was solved by my apple tech guy. I am so embarrassed i will whisper what i did wrong within half a second the tech guy noticed by simply looking at the rear of the …

* Not one, but TWO copies of MacWrite II Click to expand... Now you can install MacWrite II on TWO computers! In all seriousness though, the Claris ArtFiles find is interestin…

Also I'll be getting a 32mb module in the mail soon. Hopefully that will work.I'm also in the process of getting my hands on a ppc cpu that I can swap out on the 575 board.

I took the 550 board out and got the 575 board working without bus errors. I was doing the resedit hack wrong :-/ Overall the computer feels alot faster, I just need to modify …

It is worth trying to clean and lubricate your floppy drive mechanisms, as per instructions that can be found here and there, including from some of our members. I find that my flo…

UPDATE: I got the packages today and I was in for a very pleasant surprise...in addition to MacDraw II (in its original box) I got: * Not one, but TWO copies of MacWrite II * Mac…

I've had the 550 board in the Color Classic and it's working fine with it. I installed 512k of vram on the board and it has 8mb of ram so far, with Mac OS 7.6.1 installed. I bough…

Don't take the Mac to a repair shop. I don't see how that could turn out well financially. I have had some experience with USB cards. OS 9 includes some USB drivers but they are w…

From memory, a CUDA reset is a good idea when adding any new hardware. And I don't remember if it's been pointed out before, but the card needs to be installed (and recognised) be…

Sorry for the late reply. I am trying to find the software again, but no luck. This is really hard to find. But do I need the software? Or can I plug it in my PCMCIA slot and go …

If I understand what you have done and are trying to do, the problem is: a) that 8.1 will not run natively on the 550, and B) that, to my knowledge, you cannot use the ResEdit ha…

I'm not too confident that it would help fix the problem, but its certainly worth a try, the only downside is that you'll lose all your PRAM settings (sound volume, alert sound, da…

Before i go spending retirement money we don't have ( the wifey is already furious about this project on an old machine as she sezs ) do you guys think that perhaps resetting the …
