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…
They had different software packages bundled with them. One had business software and paper samples while the other had home software and paper samples.
The hardware is the same.

I'm wondering whether I should buy a new usb keyboard or whether I should use a USB to ADB adaptor with my old keyboard. If not any recommendations on USB keyboards?
there is an ergonomic Mac ADB keyboard w/trackpad here: http://www.adessoinc.com/egpdtmn.htm
but you'd need a ADB/USB adapter... not a great expense for the adapter, i think they'…
Most ADB keyboard's power buttons won't work through an adapter. You will have to turn on the system using the power button on the tower. If it's on the floor, it could be pretty…
I just upgraded from a Beige G3 to a G4/450 and was in the same position as you. I had been using the stock ADB Beige keyboard & a Kensington Tubro Mouse. I bought a Griffin Te…
To wjpjr-so how did you get your G4? Mine's been on order since september! Hope it's all it's cracked up to be. It seems that the conclusion appears to be to buy a USB keyboard to …
to timeop-just lucky I guess. My 450 was ordered as a 500 on 9/8. Called Apple on 10/15. Had it reinstated/downgraded to 450 at original price on 10/14. 450 in hand on 10/20. My Ap…
Can anyone recommend a decend inexpensive (~$100) scanner. There seems to be alot of them out there but I have no idea which one to go with. This will be for occasional home use, s…
i have a Umax, rather old now i guess, model 610, SCSI... works great (not spectacular quality though, can't expect that for the price! less than $100 new) with my G3 beige minitow…
Hi,
You have to make sure that software is easily available for whichever scanner you buy. i.e. buy from a company that'll support the software through the Mac OS software revisi…
Are you looking for a USB scanner? If so, I bought the Umax 1220U. It works really well, kinda noisy when it scans though. It was $150 when I bought it but you can probably find…
I bought a umax 2100u and it really rocks and its only 120$ but for a cheaper solution i would have to say a microtek slimscanc6-usb its only 80$ and has very good resolution.
Does anyone use this PCMCIA card reader? I am thinking about getting one (Yes I have a digital camera) and want to know what are my best choices out there. I need one that reads …
i gotta new imac DV and my printer won't work! installed the drivers just like i did on my old imac/266 (which worked fine), but when i try to print, i get a sys error -192 . i'…
I was hoping to be able to use my old style writer 2 with my new imac. Is this possible? I didn't see a style writer icon in the chooser and would need some sort of adapter to conn…
I believe that someone was selling an adapter that went from Stylewriter to Ethernet.
I'll look for it, just wanted you to know that it was possible...
I found it! Farallon makes…
I have set up two original imac's to use Stylewriter II printers using Keyspan's USB to serial adaptors. If you're crunched for desktop space, the stylewriters can do very nicely, …
If you still have an old serial port Mac, connect the Stylewriter to the old Mac, and the two Macs together by ethernet. I did this with an iMac, and LC and a Stylewriter II. Works…
Hey SteveH,
Your suggestion sounds like the best option for me. I have a Performa 430 which is based on an LC II. Can you tell me how to connect it to my new iMac as you have done …
you'd need an ethernet card for that 430, it has no enet built-in...
PDS comm slot enet card, farallon makes a 10/BaseT for about $60-70 new, maybe you can find one used... then a…
Wow. I LOVED my old StyleWriter II. When I sold my G3 beige minitower and bought a B&W G3 I sold my SWII and got a Epson 740i -- and I LOVE IT MORE!
Really, you're doing yours…
when I try to print I get a message that says the cartridge was not installed properly. Re-install cartridge correctly. I've re-installed the cartridge numberous times but can't p…
