To format a DOS disk as HFS or HFS+, disable File Exchange or PC Exchange (depending on what OS version). Then when you mount the disk it will pop up with the "This disk in not in…

On the New iMacDV, Apple says that you can connect a device to one of the firewire ports and capture analog video from a VCR. They said it was called the Sony DV-AV1. I've looked…

Its called a Sony DVMC-DA1 and it converts analog signal to digital signal (firewire) on the fly. There is actually a newer model too, its the DVMC-MS1. I have the MS1, and it wo…

I want either the HP 895cse or the HP 895cxi to use with my new iMac. I can get the cxi for $20.00 cheaper. What is the difference? I have looked at the specs of both and they a…

Most likely it is the same thing packaged differently to prevent price matching among retailers; Apple did something similar a while back with the Performas, selling the 637 to one…

It may be that you have touched part of the cartridge that doesn't like to be touched... (reminds me of the old r'n r band, the Tubes, they had a song titled "Don't touch me there…

Has anyone tried or have the ORB drive by CastleWood. IS it worth getting? Thanks Garrett

I don't have one but there are mixed reports that I have read... and the driver(s) seem to be suspect... ORB has something like the Iomega Tools package that is suspect I have also…

I have installed an Orb external SCSI drive on my Mac G3/266, OS 9. The driver (Castlewood Orb Driver v1.0.1) was installed from the Orb install CD that came with the drive. I down…

Anyone using an ORB drive with MacOS 9: After talking to Castlewood tech support this afternoon I was told that the problem I described in the earlier post over the weekend is a…

I have an ORB SCSI external running MacOS 8.6. I have found the drive good, but Castlewood's software marginal. However, a product called Hard Disk SpeedTools (v.2.5.1, Intech Soft…

I have had terrible luck with my ORB, until now. After months of suspecting bad hardware, the recently introducted Orb Tools 1.2.6 fixed *ALL* of my problems. All versions before…

I'm thinking of getting a CD-R drive; what I had in mind is the LaCie 8x/20x model. Are there any other 8x burners I should consider also? Also, I need some advice in choosing CD…

Well, while it isn't an 8x drive, I have had very good experiences with Yamaha 4416 and 6416 drives (4x4x16 and 6x4x16, respectively). I found them to be unusually reliable. Of the…

If you have the room for an internal drive, get one of those and save some money. I was able to purchase Panasonic's 4x8x internal SCSI drive a year and a half ago for $299 (compar…

Our LaCie drive (based on an ugly Sony mechanism) had been messing up left and right lately, no matter what kind of media we used. Then we started using Memorex gold discs, and it'…

although they are kind of pricey, Yamaha media really works well. I have never (knock on wood) had a coaster with a Yamaha CD-R.
