Yeah, Radio Shack definitely sucks. I ordered a simple part (a radio wire) from them and they had to order it from Radio Shack Headquarters. When it came in the mail, it was the wr…

Sine, RE my earlier post about LEDS causing interference on the USB bus. Regular LEDS should cause little or no problem. But I wasn't talking about regular ones, I was talking abou…

Hey blizaine, Good one! You made me crap my pants!

Hey guys, I just finished watching a episode of "Michael Holigan's - Your New House." In this episode they showed how you could use fiber optics to light the perimeter of your poo…

Hey Smiz, i think your problem is you bought a low voltage LED. Basically a 1.5V LED. The usb power is 5V! this would explain why it was Very bright, then now intermittant. Next t…

I just solved a wierd 'bug' with my Swann USB mini mouse. Since yesterday, my mouse stopped moving up and down at around the same time of day. I'd installed the multimedia updater…

That is weird. Why don't you try some blinking lights or move near a traffic light.

I'm going to use a blue permanent marker on the inside of the case, around the area of the opto pickups. Hopefully, that should cure it for the 3 or 4 days a year we have bright su…

I've got a plan drawn up at this stage for a Rack/MT/Desktop case for a G4 sporting a 4 tray hot-swappable SCSI or Firewire RAID setup. Right now, I'm tring to see if there is any…

You may have a bit of demand for this as Pinnacle has announced a High Definition Non-Linear Editor for Macintosh only (www.pinnaclesys.com.) However, we are talking about extreme…

The topic says it all. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't like Macs? Good, more for me.

Radio Shack.

Once you pull the original, yellow, jumper block off the pins, you can use the individual SCSI ID jumpers for internal hard drives to change the settings. They work fine in my B&am…

Just use a bunch of ordinary jumpers.

I just re-arranged the jumpers within the jumper block itself on my Beige 266 (now a 300), I don't know if its the same on the B/W.

I was just wondering if, in theory, I can simply pull out my G3/300 from my beige G3, and replace it with a G4? Will it function properly, and will I be able to use Alti-Vec? Wil…

You would simply require a [expensive] G4 ZIF socket upgrade card for this to work, oh, and be sure you have the Royal VRM, not the bad one... the VRM is this square module under/r…

Anyone tried this yet? (CrazyMac? You out there?) What I really want to do is replace the iMac's HD with the HD in my iMac. And maybe later swap that for one of these huge but …

Oops. Let's hear it for proofreading... What I meant to say was that I want to replace the HD in my *iBook* with the one in my iMac.

I don't think you'll have much luck putting a hard drive from your iMac into your iBook. First of all, you'll need a notebook hard drive. The power consumption of a desktop hard d…

...And the new huge hard drives won't fit either. As far as I know, assuming it used the same interface as the iMac (which I don't believe it does), you'd need to find a way to ge…

caslis.com/mac/ibook/ibdrive.html Go to the above URL for instructions to replace the HD in your iBook. I did it, it's not really hard, but it's a lot of work and stress (�3 hours)…

What was that company again that will do it for you and even transfer your HD data to the new drive? After seeing the picts I don't think I want to do it myself.... but at the sam…

MCE Powerbook Products will do it. Their web site is at http://store.powerbook1.com/ . If you have them do it, let us know how things work out... I've been thinking about having…

Personally, "improvising" on your iBook the way mentioned in "wibur"'s post is kind of outlandish. Maybe he didn't know the drive sizes and all... No matter. You can also order iB…
