Hi all. I have to transfer some data from a performa 6360 (no ehternet) to an iMac. I plan to dump the data into an external HD (non HFS+) connect it to my Powercenter Pro 210 (n…

There shouldn't be any problems doing your transfer. ------------------ -- Dave Gammage, MCSE Network Administrator Stouse, Inc.

If you are going to be passing data back and forth all the time, there are two ways we use to speed things up: First, most of our machines have Zip disk drives. That's our usual "…

Hi, I've done what you've mentioned and had no problems. I assume you want to use Appletalk, so you'll have to select "Ethernet" in the Appletalk control panel. Then you have to o…

I've bought 10 blue and white G3's for my compnay. Over a period of a week, 3 have discontinued to boot. No chime, but power is on and the drive spins up. After a little troublesho…

Thanks for the infor. My company bought 42 and one of the new g3 montior card when south. Got a replacement in two days. ------------------ David Stafford dms@fastlane.net

I have heard that FileMaker Pro Server for windows NT is much faster than FileMaker Pro Server for Mac OS. Is this true? And do you think the Mac OS X version will be faster than N…

I would wait and hold out for OS X Server before making a switch over to NT. NT is a good product, but there are a lot of little bugs and fixes to know about if you are running a M…

How many user's and database's are you supporting? Are your user connecting by AppleTalk or TCP-IP to the FileMaker Pro Server? Connecting to the database via IP better than AT. …

Our office is composed of Mac workstations, and Sun servers. Our one token NT machine is the File Maker server. We haven't had any problems with it, It has never crashed on it's ow…

I work in an office with an NT 4.0 network, Novell 5.0 & Unix networks. The NT is a piece of crap. We'd feel lucky if it only crashed once a month! Novell, on the other hand…

Does anybody know what if any length limitations there are in a mac to mac ethernet connection, and where I could find various lenghts of ethernet cable w/ RJ-45 jacks at each end.…

I don't know how far they can go but, to get long lengths, you have to go to your dealer or anyone that can make cables and ask them to make it and how long it can go.

Category 5 Ethernet cable runs can be a maximum of 100 meters without any sort of repeater. Anything longer than that will require a repeater inline. Are you utilizing a hub-to-hub…

I need help as fast as I can get it. I need to figure out how to connect my new BW G3 to my trusty HP 5MP printer. Keyspan USB to serial does not work. Has someone figured it out? …

Farallon makes some LocalTalk to Ethernet connectors. Check their web site.

I sent email to sales@keyspan.com. They answered my question about an adapter for my HP 4 ML by telling me it would be available in April and probably cost $100. Suggest you try th…

My printers all now work. The Epson connects through the Keyspan USB and the HP 5MP goes through Farallon's iPrint ethernet to localtalk. All's well that ends (prints) well.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the B/W G3's had an IRDA (infrared) "port". If so, one should be able to communicate to a LaserJet 5/6 MP printer using the IRDA. It may …

If anybody has purchased Mac version video cards such as Mirro Motion DC30+ or Mirro DV300 by Pynnacle Systems and are frustrated that the company has failed to update drivers for …

The mouse I plugged in wasn't working too well, so I've been using the built-in trackpad & clicker on my Powerbook. Now the clicker only works if I push real hard in middle, an…

ok, I was wondering if anyone knows the real difference between the 300mhz/350mhz/400mhz B/W G3's, as far as the Mhz vs Heat. Could you over-clock a 300mhz B/W G3 to run at 400mh…

Hi, I want to overclock my Rev A. iMac next week too. Is 266MHz the max speed Rev. A can support? Thank You

You can overclock alot higher than 266 but I choose to just goto 266 because I didn't want to deel with heat problems. I've talk to one guy who overclocked to 300 but his iMac wou…

You can clock your B&W G3/300 to 400 MHz with no adverse effects because the 300, 350 and 400 MHz models all use the same motherboard...the only difference is which sets of pin…
