yes, I remember disk light. every time I installed norton, there it was. Pretty handy utility, and you could place it in either top corner.
My only gripe with 7.1 is that it's not…

Posting from my Cube now. It was loaded with 10.4.something, and Software Update is doing its magic in the background.
Seems like this came along just in time, as my iMac has jus…
P.S.: I remember there was a little piece of software called "Disk Light". It does exactly what the name says, i.e. it visualises the harddisk access with the impression of a flic…
Now that you have a >4GB internal HD, make sure you never attempt to mount the 1400 to another Mac in SCSI Disk Mode. There's a non-fixable firmware bug that can lead to da…

Wanna hear about a strange dream I had last night? This is great: I dreamt that I was at the reference section of a library at some university. Anyway, I had found a shelf with a w…
Consider to stick with System 7.1 for the PB 180. I think it feels more snappy and runs very reliable. It is possible to replace several extensions or control panels with more re…
The new Sandisk Extreme III CF card (specified transfer rate 30 Mb/s) should do well, as it supports UDMA. This thing is pretty fast, better than any old harddisk drive. The 2 GB…

The M2943 is one of the most brittle displays I have ever seen. Most other Apple displays hold up fairly well, but every single M2943 I have is crumbling - even the ones with perfe…

Thanks Mac128!
Yes, I've been to that website you linked to; the pictures are a bit fuzzy, however, and there is no description of what exactly the insert/eject mechanism should d…

But from my research about these drives, I found that they will not work on my Macintosh 512k without special software, which can only come from a floppy disk that has to be insert…
