I don't know but I like the idea. It would drive my wife nuts! :lol:

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes?

Without major hacking at the cables (if its even possible), its impossible - the cables are completely different.

They are subjectively (I didn't measure, just put the books next to each other) the same width, and without the function keys, approximately the same height. Anyone have a clue on…

Panther runs fine on 512mb RAM (the system holds about 128 at idle). As with any machine, the faster the CPU, the better. At least a 400 for decent speed and FireWire capabilities.…

None of the iMac G3's have USB 2....

X.3.9 Panther IMHO, its overheads are less then Tiger and you still get most of the functionality. Just make sure you've taken the RAM up to 1GB. I'm assuming here that you mean …

Hi everyone, I'm posting from my iMac G3! I'm currently running Mac OS 9.2 on it, but since I'm running it, I can only download software compatible for it. I want to be able to p…

Choose an iMac with USB, and then get any of many USB/serial adapters. Keyspan springs readily to mind, and they have been at it since at least 1998. The adapters fetch up to USD…

I'm thinking of getting an older iMac, so I can retire my aging 9500.. I like using my laserwriter 16/600...and stylewriter 2400... but you can't use 'em offhand with the imac...…

Fiber optics with small nicks in the run works pretty well, having everything lead back to a single LED. There was an iBook one done this way that did, as you mention, tie into the…

There is a hack somewhere on macmod.com. It's for a tiBook I think but it should work for yours too. I think he used Fiber Optic.

Hey, I have been wanting to do a hack to backlight my lobmard keyboard. I was thinking I should use some light string, but I dont know how I should power it. I was thinking maybe …

I found a seller in the US who has lithium cells with built in protection circuits. I think 18650 and 4/3A are the same - I remember I found him while looking for cells from my ow…

Thanks for the info. I think ill look into it more after iv got my iMac.

I cannot speak for the video angle, but the only real advantage to the IIe is expansion. If you don't need expansion, you'll probably be happier with a IIc+. Here's why: - The I…

The IIc+ was only sold in the US so to get it running on your electricity, you would need some sort of external 110 to 220 volt converter. I don't think there is a switch on the ba…

A small update, in that removal of the USB card effected nothing but removal of the USB card, so back in it went for my printer's sake. However, in the frew-ing and toe-ing brough…

Yer the IIe sounds good. Need to researh it a bit more, most sites are from the US.

Me and a friend saved an IIe from school, and I *used* to have a II growing up as a kid, so I would say go with the IIe just because it is the beefed up II and would have more soft…

Good to know! Thanks for posting your experience

As far as I have found, wire connected Fast Ethernet upgrades for the PowerBook 1400 are recommended rarely. Some years ago I have got a cheap 10/100 Fast Ethernet PC card from a P…

Im thinking about buying an Apple two but i have some questions first. It would be a IIc+ or a IIe, which would be best for in the UK? From what iv read Apple II's that are PAL d…

The USB 2.0 card was present during the Mac's month-long existence as a 533MHz machine, with no untoward behaviour evident. But your thought had also crossed my mind as an avenue …
