My VST 6Gb drive is not hot swappable, and causes finder quits at startup. Anyone using these drives with success in OS 8.6?

The conflict appears to be with my SCSI card software. By disabling the 2906 extension, the FireDrive works as predicted. Any suggestions?

Turns out that backing up to my CD-R is now prohibited from the Firewire Drive. Anyone have any guesses as to why this might be (aside from me needing the 2906 extension?)

Has anyone been able to sync using the iMac IrDA with PDAs? I have a TI Avigo and only have Windoze software. Therefore, I will need to sync through Virtual PC. Looking for some…

Well, my company allowed me to shed my Wintel machine for an iMac. Using DAVE, I've been able to network with the other Windows machines; however, I need a connection to our SGI se…

I just bought a Maxtor Diamondmax 10.2 gig IDE drive for my beige G3/266 desktop. I want to install it as a slave device, since I don't have a zip drive in the drive bay. However, …

You need to get an Apple Service provider to order a mounting kit (they may call it a sled) - you can get either an upper tray sled or a lower tray (they are different). I would ge…

Hi, You should check which revision of beige G3 you've got as the early ones do not support slave drives. I wanted to add a slave drive myself but cannot because of this situation…

Has anyone successfully used 64-mb SIMMs in an 8100? Apple rates it to use up to 32-mb (only), but I read somewhere 64's work in 6100s (also rated by Apple for 32's max).

Hey, I've had my order in at ecost.com for over a couple of weeks now, ever since this scanner started getting rave reviews from the Mac community. Needless to say, I haven't recei…

I ordered a 636U from outpost.com 3 weeks ago, because they said I would have it in 2-3 days. Yesterday I cancelled the order and bought a 1200U at CompUSA. It cost me a little mor…

Maine also took about a month, but now that I have it, I wrote the following (mostly-derogatory) review of it. Caveat Emptor. The 636U would be an excellent buy if not for its ho…

i doubt it. any time you take a picture outdoors, your camera picks up ultraviolet light. just be sure to wear goggles while using the camera. -r.

I was planning on using my camera to take some pictures of arc welding in action. Of course, the arc emits many ultraviolet rays, which can damage the retinas of people in the room…

<-------- this dude is too drunk to be posting It would probably be the UV requivalent of pointing the camera directly at the sun. And I would probably use the LCD, not the…

If your camera permits, try a combo UV /polarizing filter. Anti-glare AND UV protection, Camera shop should help you with that one. Of course, it depends on what kind of camera you…

just for the record, a UV filter won't prevent damage to your camera (since UV won't damage your camera), but it will ensure that the image you see isn't skewed because of the UV l…
