Well I work as an Apple Authorized Service Engineer in Sweden. However I do not seem to be able to solve this particular problem. A customer bought an external cd-r (Panasonic) whi…

anyone Educated in firewire yet? i know it should theoretically be possible to make a network of firewire devices including computer-- but where do i go for the items needed? how m…

firewire is a buss. It is more an advanced SCSI (but this not technicaly seen, only in use), and less a network-system. Meaning: everything transported over the firewire buss is s…

Well, it certainly is possible, but you'd have to write a library so OT could handle it. Apple has already stated it will not do it, however. I don't see why you couldn't run TCP/I…

Think different - how about a "storage" network and a regular network? It's definitely possible for multiple machines to have access to a storage array via FireWire. Dave -------…

I have 2 iMacs and a cable modem I'd like to share. Typically this type of setup would require a Mac with 2 ethernet cards, one for the cable modem and one to go to the hub where t…

First, you need to get a unique IP address for each iMac from your ISP. If they are willing to do this, it becomes easy to get everything working. Buy a 4 port Ethernet hub (a 10…

I have an Ethernet hub already, but if I even connect 1 iMac to it and the cable modem as well, the computer doesn't "see" the cable modem. I assume I simply have to have the cable…

There is a software soultion: IPNetRouter by http://www.sustworks.com/ It will let you use on e IP address with one cable modem. The only backdraw is that the iMac running IPNetRou…

Well, that's not quite true. Software like IPNetRouter works great for this sort of thing except for 1 little problem - the server machine must have 2 ethernet ports, one to connec…

Is your cable modem connected to the uplink port on your ethernet hub? If not, you will need to use an ethernet crossover cable to get the communication between your iMac and cable…

Right, the good people at Ask Dr. Farallon got back to me with the details on how to set up this sort of home LAN. The cable modem can connect with a standard cable to the uplink p…

Is there a way to calibrate the scanner?? The pictures come out way darker than the original photo.

This scanner sounds interesting and looks good for the iMac. Has anyone had any experience with Artec products, anything particular to be aware of, or similar highlights or concer…

Just as I was about to purchase the UMAX 1220u scanner, an ad in MacAddict magazine caught my eye. A full page ad of the Agfa SnapScan 1212u scanner. They are currently selling f…

is anyone aware of any wireless networking solutions for the mac?

There is the breeznet by http://www.breezecom.com/, an ethernet over radio solution. Its expensive but you can use the network while moving up to 50 mph.

Hi Folks I'm new here to this forum, and I have some questions I would like some input on if anyone can help me on it. I really want to get a new iMAC. I feel that they are a grea…

Hi, Here's a cheap way to get a floppy drive for your iMac when you buy it. Since you'll probably need a USB-serial adapter anyway, why not pick up a Mac SE/30 or better? They can…

I was in your position a bit ago -- I had a bunch of SCSI periphs & an ADB printer. But I bought an iMac August 15, anyway. I just kept the Performa with all the periphs &…

There are USB to SCSI and USB to serial and USB to ADB connectors now.

tgrant do you know of a way to use a imac as a monitor for a B&W G3. I have seen i done and really need to know how

Hi all. I have to transfer some data from a performa 6360 (no ehternet) to an iMac. I plan to dump the data into an external HD (non HFS+) connect it to my Powercenter Pro 210 (n…
