So, Misha, where can I get one of those Griffin adapters? want to get a headset/mic but don't want to buy Via Voice just to get one... if Griffins's adapter works, I should be able…

Unfortunately I had expected a cheapo PC microphone to 'just work' with it being an analogue device. Interestingly, you can buy an amp that would make it work, but which costs fiv…

There is price variation between vendors. A 128 MB chip costs between $100-200: closer to $100 from chip venders (such as Microtech); closer to $200 from catalog stores. But the …

I bought additional memory for the iMac I bought my folks plus for my G3 using Ram Seeker. Try: http://www.macseek.com/index.shtml and it will pull up a huge list of places on the …

I think some vendors bank (literally) on you not knowing what RAM really costs. For example, I recently bought a bronze 400. At the same time, I bought an extra 128MB of RAM to get…

It is most likely you are seeing regular RAM and low profile RAM.Low profile RAM is the $300+ RAM you see +

I just purchased 128 meg from Memorytogo.com for $119, a little more for fed ex delivery. Works great!

Yes, the Low-Profile RAM is the only RAM you can get to fit into the 2nd Slot... 192MB is the Fastest/most cost efficiect amount of Memory to have in the iMAC. 128MB in the top sl…

There is a difference in memory quality. The memory you buy from catalogs are top of the line premium memory, which is why you can spend so much on them, but you are guarranteed th…

Heh, you might wanna check that math, Macguy - 128+32=160MB :-D It was incredibly easy for me to install my 128MB DIMM... Apple even includes an illustrated guide in the Apple Gui…

Since your friends and relatives can connect at 40k, the problem isn't with your ISP. Since I have a Wallstreet Powerbook running 8.6, and I can connect at 40k, it's probably not …

I agree. Your problem is likely with the phone lines. I connect with my bronze both at home (on two lines, one dedicated and the other my regular phone line) and at work. At work I…

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 …

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…
