I just scored an old IIci (for $100; new 'twas $6499 list) so that I wouldn't have to use my 7500 to do IPNR. It sits in the closet humming along (it was a former corporate server …

Using a IIfx with a cable modem as router machine on a 10base-t network, works fine, no lower speeds and very stable. I think it would be a waste to use a great machine like a 8600…

I agree, Jona. And I gotta recommend XLR8's bitchen new Carrier ZIF� card for the "Power Surge" series. It rocks!

I have an old iicx and i'd like to use that as a router for my cable modem. can anybody point me to some resources for maiking a macintosh router? any thoughtful comments would be …

I think the routing software most people are talking about on this discussion is IPNetRouter by Sustainable Softworks. In my opinion its a really great program. There's a demo at t…

IPNetRouter is awesome. I've been using it for at least a year. The latest version includes a DHCP server. It's irrelevant if you only run MacOS because Location Manager means you …

I use a Q650 with Vicom SoftRouter and have been really happy. Soon I'll be moving to an X-Router from MacSense. Does the same thing but through a little hardware hub type thing. …

I'd just like to say thanks for all the input. I've decided to use the Quadra for routing based on the responses I've gotten. Thanks again Tony

I just purchased an internal CD-RW (Yamaha CRW6416s) drive. I'm running a 7600/120 mac - I've got everything hooked up but now it seems to be giving me hang-ups on startups and whe…

be sure to have the Apple CD extention disabled. You won't need it with the 3rd party drive, and the Toast software will be redundant.

I also have the same problem with my internal 6416. Freezes within minutes of startup. I don't even have to do anything with the cd, though, for it to freeze. I've used CD Speed…

Gabe: Using Conflict Catcher, I found out that the reason it was crashing was due to a corrupt font suitcase. You may want to check this out. Also, I've heard that there is an u…

Just to help on one issue: No semi-modern Mac has a SCSI bus, technically. They all have a SCSI-2, Fast SCSI-2, Fast & Wide SCSI -2, Ultra SCSI-3, etc. bus. SCSI has gone throu…

Anyone know off the top of their head what flavour of SCSI is in the Rev. A G3 DT? ------------------ "No Brian! Those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those! I never se…

I just bought an EXTERNAL 6416 Yamaha CDRW. It has a very bad scsi problem with macos 8.6.Toast 3.5.7 crashes when attempting to access the cdrw, and the extension Toast reader cra…

Hi, me again... I fixed my problem... I turned my internal CDRW drive into a EXTERNAL device. This seems to work without any problems. It turns out that my internal SCSI has a ter…

I am looking into buying and older powerbook for e-mail and word processing. I would also like to be able to network it with my iMac. I was wondering which model you would recomm…

I have a 540c in good shape which has ethernet, I think 20 meg of RAM (I'll check if you're interested). It's a good choice in that it was top of the line when built. Active color …

Couple questions: How much RAM? 320 or 500MB hard drive? Modem speed? What software does it come with? Do you have all cords, and batteries? Has the processor been upgraded or…

The PB 500-series is particularly cool if you can find a PPC CPU daughtercard to pop into it. Otherwise you're ceiling is OS 8.1 and you're unable to run PPC-only apps (e.g. Office…

I have a B/W PowerMac G3 with a Global Village Internal 56k modem. I notice that whenever I use Remote Access to make a PPP connection with the modem, I get this very annoying spea…

I need to setup my 6100 as a IP router and a server. I don't want to remove my G3 upgrade, so I am looking for devise that puts a ethernet port on my SCSI chain. I remember them be…

hi, what you really need is what's called an "AAUI Tranceiver" (sp?) as far as i know, all powermacs shipped w/ ethernet, but the earlier ones, such as your 6100, didn't have a nor…

Hi, thanks for replying. I already have a transcever. but I need another ethernet port.

Asante made one for the longest time, EN/SC. But as far as I knew, the drivers for it were NOT Open Trasnport compliant. And if I can extrapolate what you're trying to do, I'd gues…
