Rev. F Duo keyboards are not bad. Really. Click to expand... I guess all of mine are revs A through E. Has anyone documented what the differences are among the various Duo …

No need to stick anything inside the drive in most cases. Just hold the mouse/trackpad button down and then start 'er up. Keep it held down until it spits it out (takes some time, …

Success! After destroying my first CF-IDE adapter, I got two new ones in the mail and finally got around to putting a 1GB CF drive in. I booted with the case off with both the SCS…

Tweezers? Try taking the disk out with a pair of them.

If I get this up and running, I'll definitely keep an eye out for an upgrade kit, equant -- thanks. It is too bad that the TCP/IP connection isn't persistent; I wonder why they mad…

...or just hold the trackpad button down -- an external mouse isn't a requirement, AFAIK. The trackpad button method has saved my bacon many a time.

I've had an eMate for well I don't know. I got it new after they discontinued, so 10 years? I've used it for many things, and am quite fond of it. I do think the HWR is a bit qu…

Ok, the Lombard works as long as I don't make it overheat. For learning PHP/MySQL it's pretty good and runs cool. I ran it off of battery for a few hours yesterday, leaving it id…

Didn't read the page, but the bits I glossed over reflect my recollections: http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/nondestructively_resizing_volumes I don't know if you need an Intel…

how can i partition my hd without deleting the info mac 10.4.X

Try plugging in a mouse and holding the button through startup, this is Apples force eject protocol for these drives.

I ask this on behalf of my uncle, who needs this drive fixed by the evening... He's got a CD-ROM stuck in his slot-loading CD drive (without a paper clip eject button). The drive …

If you do have any plroblems getting it up and running or need extra parts then this chappie, http://newtonsales.com/ does sales and repairs. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of m…

I deeply appreciate the tips, beachycove. I will perform the hard reset dance at the first opportunity. It would be nice to get it working. It looks like a neat little machine for…

I have the full 1GB in my B&W so I know what you mean.

haha it is all pretty much nostalgia, but it is my hobby! My beige is 128MB of being maxed out!

The eMate is a great machine for its intended uses. Accept none of the usual insults regarding your new toy. I have fiddled with several of these over the past months, and while m…

Thanks, Rodus! That website seems to be *the* Newton place -- I'll be spending a lot of time there, I see (assuming that I resurrect this unit). As for surfing, I've got my expect…

Panther runs fine on 512mb RAM (the system holds about 128 at idle). As with any machine, the faster the CPU, the better. At least a 400 for decent speed and FireWire capabilities.…

I've found Newtscape to be the best with NetHopper a very close second, a word of warning though, surfing on an eMate is going to be slooooow. It's slow on my 2000 which has a 162…

It sure does -- many thanks, ChristTrekker. Have you tried any of these? I'm up for a certain amount of experimentation, but I'd also like to benefit from the collective wisdom of …

A little Googling finds browsers called Courier and LunaSuite. The first is GPL, the second is discontinued. Does that help at all?

For $4 I got my first emate. Doesn't work at the moment, but assuming that it can be induced to do so at some point, what choices are there for browsers? I understand that there's …

None of the iMac G3's have USB 2....

X.3.9 Panther IMHO, its overheads are less then Tiger and you still get most of the functionality. Just make sure you've taken the RAM up to 1GB. I'm assuming here that you mean …
