Hi, I've done what you've mentioned and had no problems. I assume you want to use Appletalk, so you'll have to select "Ethernet" in the Appletalk control panel. Then you have to o…

Does anybody know what if any length limitations there are in a mac to mac ethernet connection, and where I could find various lenghts of ethernet cable w/ RJ-45 jacks at each end.…

I need help as fast as I can get it. I need to figure out how to connect my new BW G3 to my trusty HP 5MP printer. Keyspan USB to serial does not work. Has someone figured it out? …

I sent email to sales@keyspan.com. They answered my question about an adapter for my HP 4 ML by telling me it would be available in April and probably cost $100. Suggest you try th…

My printers all now work. The Epson connects through the Keyspan USB and the HP 5MP goes through Farallon's iPrint ethernet to localtalk. All's well that ends (prints) well.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the B/W G3's had an IRDA (infrared) "port". If so, one should be able to communicate to a LaserJet 5/6 MP printer using the IRDA. It may …

The mouse I plugged in wasn't working too well, so I've been using the built-in trackpad & clicker on my Powerbook. Now the clicker only works if I push real hard in middle, an…

I've come across two products that claim to enable this via a card that goes in the B&W internal modem slot: the <A HREF="http://www.griffintechnology.com/">gPort</A&g…

Keyspan repied to my query and said they expected to ship an adapter this spring to help connect LaserWriters via USB. I guess I could have used a gPort, but I already bought the …

the round mouse that my iMac came with makes a sqeeking noise...almost mouse-like ironicallly, when it is moved from side to side? is it the wheels inside the mouse? is there a way…

put a drop, no, 1/2, no 1/4 drop of oil in it.

I'm hoping that someone around here might know of a workaround for using the Imagewriter II w/ 8.5. I really need this printer to print checks. hope someone can help?

Does anybody know if it is possible to set up 2 machines, a Mac and an NT box, with a USB keyboard and mouse through a hub or something so that I can switch between the two compute…
