One more thing! I have tried to disconnect all my in-laws various phones and answering machines and such in an attempt to get their connection speed up without success. This somet…

It's the phone lines 99% of the time. Sometimes you have to call the phone company, and ask them to run a line quality test. But disconnect your computer from the phoneline for …

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 just purchased an internal CD-RW (Yamaha CRW6416s) drive. I'm running a 7600/120 mac - I've got everything hooked up but now it seems to be giving me hang-ups on startups and whe…

be sure to have the Apple CD extention disabled. You won't need it with the 3rd party drive, and the Toast software will be redundant.

I also have the same problem with my internal 6416. Freezes within minutes of startup. I don't even have to do anything with the cd, though, for it to freeze. I've used CD Speed…

Gabe: Using Conflict Catcher, I found out that the reason it was crashing was due to a corrupt font suitcase. You may want to check this out. Also, I've heard that there is an u…

Just to help on one issue: No semi-modern Mac has a SCSI bus, technically. They all have a SCSI-2, Fast SCSI-2, Fast & Wide SCSI -2, Ultra SCSI-3, etc. bus. SCSI has gone throu…

Anyone know off the top of their head what flavour of SCSI is in the Rev. A G3 DT? ------------------ "No Brian! Those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those! I never se…

I just bought an EXTERNAL 6416 Yamaha CDRW. It has a very bad scsi problem with macos 8.6.Toast 3.5.7 crashes when attempting to access the cdrw, and the extension Toast reader cra…

Hi, me again... I fixed my problem... I turned my internal CDRW drive into a EXTERNAL device. This seems to work without any problems. It turns out that my internal SCSI has a ter…

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.

Yes, they most certainly do. You should have received the software on a dual-format CD-ROM, or the drivers should be downloadable from their Web site. ------------------ If you go…

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 have a B/W PowerMac G3 with a Global Village Internal 56k modem. I notice that whenever I use Remote Access to make a PPP connection with the modem, I get this very annoying spea…

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 …

I'm wondering whether I should buy a new usb keyboard or whether I should use a USB to ADB adaptor with my old keyboard. If not any recommendations on USB keyboards?

there is an ergonomic Mac ADB keyboard w/trackpad here: http://www.adessoinc.com/egpdtmn.htm but you'd need a ADB/USB adapter... not a great expense for the adapter, i think they'…
