My experience is that getting an HD TV to work with a Mac is a major pain in the butt. Unless you've got a DVI->HDMI cable, prepare to do some fiddling with resolutions, Sw…

well honestly the default video card will probably be fine. if it can push 1600x1200 then 1368x768 will hardly be a stretch for it. But if you do want to upgrade you are unfortun…

I believe refresh rate is a term for CRT's, as the electron gun must hit every phosphor every so often to "refresh" it so it doesn't fade out. I suspect flat panel technology uses…

HEY, gang! I'm thinking about getting a 22-36" digital flat panel HDTV. 8-o I doubt the stock Video Card in my G-4 466 Digital Audio will drive the RGB inputs on one of these ba…

As a crazy idea yesterday, I also wondered about the feasibility of hooking another wire to the printer port of both GS's. Since the modem port wire is definitely going to have to …

Cool! I imagine the taking turns issue would depend largely on what sort of game you're planning. Any kind of real time action game is going to be problematic because you're almost…

Yeah, I remembered NadaNet a few hours after I typed the original post. Since then, I got out my 2 IIgs's and my trusty Super Serial Card Installation and Operating Manual, and set…

Michael Mahon did a pong demo over NadaNet recently... just start googling ;-) But I have heard of something similar being done in the '80s, though I'm not sure what interface w…

I'm curious to know if there are any network games for the 8-bit Apple II? Such as where you'd connect two Apples together with a serial cable (or, heaven forbid, cassette ports) t…

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

my cube died and on a surface scan tech tools found bad sectors. can I fix it or new drive time?

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.

First I'd suggest you go through a full calibration circle. The fact that the iBook shuts off without warning nor sleep seems to tell the battery doesn't know what's its charge.

I checked...it's not a recall battery....therefore, that can't be it... any other ideas anyone?

It sounds like a dead cell possibly, or the chip board for the batteries is messed up, check to see if it follows under the recall program. https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbo…

Hey everyone! Lately I've been having some issues with my iBook's battery. When I open an application that tells me its health and its current status, it says it has 86% health (3…

I was on my iBook G4 tonight, when the machine froze up. I thought it was due to having a lot of tabs open in FireFox. I did the Command-Option-Escape command, but nothing came up.…

Well, the title says it all, really... I have a sneaky suspicion that there's something wrong with my PowerBook. It boots without chiming (I have reset the PRAM to no avail), and t…

I'll have to try getting into OF.. didn't seem to work when I tried.

I got one of my friends to tell me how he did it with his G4 iBook. He had to boot into Open Firmware and run a command to do it, but it (USB DVD-ROM) worked.

Everything I've read says they wont. Only the intel ones. I'll just snag a firewire cable this weekend and try disk mode on my G3 if I can get THAT to boot OSX......

Plenty of G4s will boot from USB, although none of the Power Macs will IIRC. It's worth a shot on the mini.

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…
