Ok, I found this website: http://www.quantum.com/support/hdd/f...ta_support.htm Which seems to claim that the Fireball's "Single drive" and "Master with slave present" settings a…

Looks like the main drive is set on Master. Try setting the new drive to Master and your Quantum to Slave. Also make sure the ribbon cables & power connectors are fully seated …

I have one of the earlier G4-450's with a SCSI HD and I want to add an ATA HD to accomodate all the digital video editing my son is doing. Is the fact that I'm starting out with a…

Don't. Overclocking makes everything unstable, makes your computer run hotter, and voids the warranty. This also applies to replacing the main processor.

If everyone was as paranoid about risk, we would still be living in caves... and computers?.. u need electricity to do that dont u?.. a guy could get hurt http://forums.macnn.com/…

Well, my G3 is at 450 MHz now, but i was wondering what I would have to do to actually overclock it.

I believe that any machine that has a 10/100 port is going to be more finicky than a machine that has a 10 port. Part of the n-way auto-negotiation (for speed and duplex settings)…

I've been networking iBook with my work Ethernet and at home with my beige G3/300. I use a cheap Ethernet hub and Cat 5 cabling. Frank

Ok, since this topic seems to attract a few networking nerd, i'll see if you guys can help me ; ) I'm about to go wireless (got the Base, card due tomorrow) with an iBook, Airpor…

A sticker that says "For FREE user support ring 555-5555 (or whatever your home number is) would be handy, then whoever gets the stolen computer is bound to ring you. There are su…

It would be handy if someone made a CHEAP tracker device for iBooks (and other portables), I would feel more secure knowing that my book could be tracked down if it was stolen.

Try trashing the energy saver preferences. I read somewhere that that would fix it. I tried it and it didn't work though, I ended up doing a clean install of OS 9 when I got it a…

have you tried using startup doubler? that might help.....does anyone know if this is compatible with Mac OS 9 or iBook...thats one way I would go about it.

Startup doubler seems to work fine on 8.6 on my iBook. But as far as taking ages to get the desktop up after loading the extensions, try rebuilding the desktop (option-command held…

Okay, some judicious tinkering with the extensions manager has revealed that the culprit was the ethernet (Apple Enet) extension. The symptoms are that after the loading of all ext…

If you don't use ethernet, then switch off Appletalk (put it on remote only from its control panel) and file sharing. That should speed it up a bit.

Hey friends, I don't intend to demean any of the previous postings on this problem, but I don't think anyone has identified the real cause of the startup delay problem. Here it is:…

Good, indepth explaination margrave, just the way I like it. Thanks! -joe- ------------------ iMac (Lime 233), iBook (Tangerine), SE/30.

Unfortunately, while that my be a problem with some of us that isn't the case here. The servers folder (in the systemfolder) is empty).

That might well be it, time is about right and the TCP/IP control panel was set to DHCP THX
