Just an FYI, it's a huge pain in the ass to do sort of drive replacement on a 12" PB.

Slot load drives, no matter what brand, will still break under heavy usage, especially if often used for writing discs. You don't have much choice with your PowerBook, but normally…

I agree about the Pioneer drives. I've never had bad luck with one, either personally or in the field.

I should correct the above: this is a 802.11b card, not g.

Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…

The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…

I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…

I use FreeDOS for my DOS software like GEM.

Perhaps this? http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Panasonic/UJ875/

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need …

You're probably right. I have an 8.1 CD, but not one for plain old 8.

A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

I downloaded PCSetup 1.6.4, then updated it to 2.1.7. I think the oldest MacOS that will run on the beastie is 8.

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds. However, a slow download is bet…

I wasn't really expecting that sound track, tbh. Neat photo montage, anyway. I don't think I'd bother with the WiFi hack; I actually have type III PC cards to use, and I'd rather …

I have a Beige G3/400 with 128MB RAM, a 9GB SCSI hard disk and a 3GB IDE hard disk. It also has a PC Compatibility card (Pentium 166) with 80MB RAM (16MB built-in + 64MB DIMM), a …

Ok, the video is in reference to: 1. Yuplan keyboard install 2. 96 MB RAM install 3. CardBus hack 4. Internal Wifi installation Exciting? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8HPs…

To rocketath--I think I detect distinct sarcasm and/or rudeness from your reply. nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE Click to expand... THANKS for the link,…

There are four screws you need to remove. You can see two already. The other two are hidden underneath a panel that pops off. The panel has tons of holes in it, and underneath you …

Right, Sorry-not a G4; Green Slot load imac G3. Thanks for the replies, but aside from which one is easier to get to than the other, nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE. I'm…
