I have iBook screws, so nothing to worry about in that aspect.

Just an FYI, it's a huge pain in the ass to do sort of drive replacement on a 12" PB.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to look into this problem again. I was FINALLY able to get all of my data off the drive that was in there, when it crapped out. So I stuck it bac…

Slot load drives, no matter what brand, will still break under heavy usage, especially if often used for writing discs. You don't have much choice with your PowerBook, but normally…

I agree about the Pioneer drives. I've never had bad luck with one, either personally or in the field.

Well, I decided to import the "lost" posts last night. At first, I wasn't going to bother because I thought it was only 300 or less posts, but after I ran an SQL query to compare t…

Nice. But what we really need is a USENET gateway to 68kmla.org.

I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning improving the Usenet post-indexing system. Before, it wasn't always grouping posts into their correct thread, and instead wa…

Unfortunately, most of those you have listed are Google groups, not Usenet newsgroups. I found a 68k linux Usenet group, but it was full of spam. :O

Hi, I've opened a public gate-way (read-only) to comp.sys.apple2 at my site. http://macgui.com/usenet/I will be adding more newsgroups shortly. Any suggestions? Click to expand.…

I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…

It's probably a nicer interface Click to expand... Certainly more lynx-friendly Click to expand... I don't know how long it will stay that way, since I'm working on integr…

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need …

It's probably a nicer interface Click to expand... Certainly more lynx-friendly My only quibble would be that it defaults to proportional font... not a big deal, but I thi…

I don't know. It's on my server, so I like that. It's probably a nicer interface, and I'll be working on making it fit into my main site. There's a load of options for searching. Y…

What advantage does this have over Google Groups? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.apple2/topics?gvc=2

Update: I have 20,300 articles in 2,300 threads from January 2007 up until yesterday (none have been posted today yet). I have no idea what the retention rate is going to be like, …

It's not looking good, she's dead as a door nail now. I've swapped the batteries, put in PCI video card, disconnected every IDE cable, started swapping ram chips. I don't what's ne…

My gigabit does this. Make sure your video card is fully seated, it sometimes comes loosened on one end or the other when you open the case a few times.

I'm fixing a G4 MDD Powermac and it has this annoying problem. This computer will chime on startup and will make some hard drive noises it will not display any video on the DVI or …

If i had a decent amount of G4's of the same speed, I would actually buy Pooch and run my very own parallel computing center.
