At macmall.com, they have a "ix3D Ultimate Rez MAC Promotional" onsale for $72.99. Is this a good deal? I have a PM G3/233, stock video, and butt-loads or ram. Basically, I need s…

Get the new low cost iMac for $999. It has a good gaming card and USB with lots more performance than you can get out of upgrading. Drewman

I would love 2, but in Canada an iMac is 1800.00, and I don't have the money to get a new system. Things like a HD and a USB card are good cause I can get USB devices that can late…

I've been the proud owner of a Power Mac 7600/120 for the past 4.5 years (my 3rd mac). We recently got G4's at my work place and I also have the extreme pleasure of taking my boss'…

I was hoping to be able to use my old style writer 2 with my new imac. Is this possible? I didn't see a style writer icon in the chooser and would need some sort of adapter to conn…

I believe that someone was selling an adapter that went from Stylewriter to Ethernet. I'll look for it, just wanted you to know that it was possible... I found it! Farallon makes…

I have set up two original imac's to use Stylewriter II printers using Keyspan's USB to serial adaptors. If you're crunched for desktop space, the stylewriters can do very nicely, …

If you still have an old serial port Mac, connect the Stylewriter to the old Mac, and the two Macs together by ethernet. I did this with an iMac, and LC and a Stylewriter II. Works…

Hey SteveH, Your suggestion sounds like the best option for me. I have a Performa 430 which is based on an LC II. Can you tell me how to connect it to my new iMac as you have done …

In desperate need of extra drive space I shelled out a pretty penny for a 9GB external LaCie drive in a d2 case. Performancewise its alright. No problems. But the noise this thi…

First you must determine whether it is the drive or the fan that is making the noise: if it is the former, putting the drive to sleep will help, if it is the latter, then you might…

Its most definitely the drive. When I get up close to it I can hear 2 distinct sounds - the drive spinning and the fan. The fan noise is not bad but the drive has this constant d…

I got an email from a helpful user. He suggests placing the drive in a larger drive casing or piece of furniture with bubble wrap or styrofoam egg carton in between the two. Does…

Try taking the case apart and putting rubber washers between the the case and the hard drive. You might have to get longer screws. That will help isolate the drive from the soundin…
