It's a CD drive, not DVD. sedgwick, the processor idea makes sense, but I'm not sure it explains why the entire computer "locks up". I literally can't do anything but move the …

I wonder if the difference between a Mac and PC with an IDE CD-ROM is that Windows is not as actively aware of whether disks are inserted into drives (CDs, floppies, etc)- I've hea…

I have a 6100 with an ex 32x SCSI CD-ROM and everytime I insertn a CD it takes abour 3-4 seconds for the computer to become responcive.

Peecees will not let you write to an empty drive. Nice idea, though :-) In addition, peecees *do* have the same delay, IF they are waiting for data from the drive in an active pro…

I have an older mac that only has scsi, and i am drooling at the cheaper prices of IDE/ATA drives. is there any way (perhaps with a PCI card) that i can use IDE/ATA devices on my m…

see www.promax.com for an IDE upgrade kit via a PCI card

I'm in the market for a color printer. Does HP support Macs with its 4500 color LaserJet?

I believe I've seen the PPD file for the HP Color Laserjet 4500. Not sure if this means HP will support you if you have printing problems.

Has anyone had any success interfacing an older SCSI Epson scanner such as the ES 800C with the new G3 B&W? I could not get Photoshop or Omnipage to recognize or find the scan…

I use Adaptec 2960U to connect two scanners and two 50-pin SCSI HDs along with an internal SCSI HD (used for backups daily) with no trouble. I don't trust any USB-SCSI and it can…

I hooked up an ES1200c to a B&W. It too would not work with the twain drivers. Epson is not sure if they plan to update them either. The only way to get the scanner to be rec…

I tried many times to add another USB trackball or wheel mouse (different brands) to my B&W 400 G3 which already have an ADB trackball (Logitech Trackman Marble) attached to it…

I have an Entrega 7 port USB hub. My Epson 740 works great with it as does my Keyspan USB/Serial adapter for my PalmPilo, my Iomega Zip drive, and my Umax 1220U scanner. However m…

hi there, sorry, but that's the big drawback of using usb for high-bandwith devices. usb can't push enough data to the farther devices fast enough to keep up with their needs. when…

Thanks for the reply, that's what I thought. I understand about the Avid capture needing all the bandwith, but I thought my CDR at a slower speed setting would be OK. Oh well, I'm …
