Ya, I'm pretty sure that most are either hacks or sold together with a drive as an upgrade/complete kit (from the likes of MCE). I'm content to leave mine exposed. But then, rough…

maybe somehow the battery contacts are corroded and need cleaning, or connections got bent somehow. i would check them to see there condition. if that don't work then something in…

Hello, I have a Power Mac 7300/200 running OS 9.0.4 with 48 megs of memory. Currently, the processor in this machine is a 604e, but I recently purchased a Sonnet G3 upgrade from th…

I have the same challenge before me. I'm considering taking the existing bezel and Dremeling a slot in it, or moulding a new one out of something or other.

Hey guys, yet another question. This one one is about my Lombard. ****LOOK DOWN THE PAGE!! PLEASE! After installing both OS 10.2 and 10.3 (from retail disks), my Lombard would ac…

Im thinking about buying an Apple two but i have some questions first. It would be a IIc+ or a IIe, which would be best for in the UK? From what iv read Apple II's that are PAL d…

I have an Apple Newton that I got for free. Judging by pictures, it must be either an OMP or a 100. How can I tell which one it really is? It's kind of a neat little thing and I…

I've had this happen before and it seems to be caused by humidity or getting dirty. Especially if your hands aren't completely dry or have something on them. I've heard that loti…

Not that I have ever heard of. Maybe MCE?

Exactly. The G4 put a lot of power for a little money on the table. Traditionally that kind of CPU performance was only found with "The Big Boys". You know them as SGI, Sun and I…

Try downloading Sidetrack. You can set parameters for how much forgiveness it has for spurious trackpad signals.

Is there any place to get a slot loading bezel for a Lombard/Pismo expansion bay?

I have found that when this happens on my Lombard I can just put all four of my fingers on the track pad and rub the whole thing and it will stop jumping around. I have had this p…

I have read that the temperature sensor is actually part of the processor daughter card.

I loved my Newton Message Pad 130 and used it everyday, but one day the batteries died. I didn't get around to replacing them for a couple of weeks, but when I did get around to r…

The Rev A AlBook 15" models had the same problem due to pressure on certain sections of the LCD during shipping. I would hazard a guess that at some time the iMac had undue pressu…

Yeah. Crazy feds. But at least we've got a chance for some improvement coming up in the next couple months. On topic, what other systems marketed at regular consumers ever had thi…

I have disks that have Panther plus the 10.3.9 update. It will only install the update after I have installed Panther if I first copy the update to the HD and then open it from the…

The USB 2.0 card was present during the Mac's month-long existence as a 533MHz machine, with no untoward behaviour evident. But your thought had also crossed my mind as an avenue …

ROM03 machines have less background noise coming from the speaker. It's most noticeable from within GSOS, where the processor and video hardware stay pretty busy.

Out of curiosity, does the mouse issue persist if you remove the 6-port PCI-X USB 2.0 NEC card? Cheers, Rick

Although Macally seems not to allow the name of the iKey4 to cross its lips any more, I found a generalized FAQ page about iKey keyboards. The mouse freeze issue is related …

The SCSI card will be the hard one to find (cheap). You might want a bigger RAM card for a ram drive.

I think I'll go with the ROM 03 for my IIGS setup. I want to get GS/OS running off an HD someday. My ROM 01 has a 1 MB RAM card. I can put that in the ROM 03 and get 2 MB. Then I j…

ROM 3 has 1MB built in. I guess it depends on if you are going to run GS/OS from a HD or just want to play games from floppy. ROM 3 for GS/OS, ROM 1 for floppy based games.
