The stock video card in a Digital Audio is a Rage 128 which should have a VGA port and an ADC port. If you have an ADC->DVI adapter (such as the one made by Belkin) and a D…

My experience is that getting an HD TV to work with a Mac is a major pain in the butt. Unless you've got a DVI->HDMI cable, prepare to do some fiddling with resolutions, Sw…

well honestly the default video card will probably be fine. if it can push 1600x1200 then 1368x768 will hardly be a stretch for it. But if you do want to upgrade you are unfortun…

I believe refresh rate is a term for CRT's, as the electron gun must hit every phosphor every so often to "refresh" it so it doesn't fade out. I suspect flat panel technology uses…

HEY, gang! I'm thinking about getting a 22-36" digital flat panel HDTV. 8-o I doubt the stock Video Card in my G-4 466 Digital Audio will drive the RGB inputs on one of these ba…

Indeed, here is one that is for sale throughout the US: Generation NEX. I've seen it at multiple local game shops. Click to expand... Beware the Gen NEX; I believe the company…

All of the patents on the original NES have expired, worldwide. It is now 100% legal to clone an NES. The *ROMs*, however, still fall under copyright. But making a piece of hard…

but for almost $50 you're getting ripped off. Click to expand... Agreed - except that part proceeds go towards the Playpower project, which is developing educational software a…

I oonce had a pirate NES clone, stuffed into an n64 controller case. It's million games were really just 100's of unedited copies of the same games.

This thing is known in other circles as a "NOAC" device, which stands for Nintendo on a Chip. It's also known as an FC Computer, or FamiClone since it's a clone of the Nintendo Fam…

I bought a similar system when I worked in China. The key selling point was indeed that it came with a bunch of pirated software - one cartridge was advertised as containing 50,000…

I'm buying one - will tell you all how it turns out.

Now that looks like it would be fun to play with!

I've heard that systems like that are available all over the developing world, particularly in Africa and the poorer parts of India. I'm guessing that the main apeal of these mach…

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

my cube died and on a surface scan tech tools found bad sectors. can I fix it or new drive time?

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.

First I'd suggest you go through a full calibration circle. The fact that the iBook shuts off without warning nor sleep seems to tell the battery doesn't know what's its charge.

I checked...it's not a recall battery....therefore, that can't be it... any other ideas anyone?

It sounds like a dead cell possibly, or the chip board for the batteries is messed up, check to see if it follows under the recall program. https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbo…

Hey everyone! Lately I've been having some issues with my iBook's battery. When I open an application that tells me its health and its current status, it says it has 86% health (3…

I was on my iBook G4 tonight, when the machine froze up. I thought it was due to having a lot of tabs open in FireFox. I did the Command-Option-Escape command, but nothing came up.…

Well, the title says it all, really... I have a sneaky suspicion that there's something wrong with my PowerBook. It boots without chiming (I have reset the PRAM to no avail), and t…
