I just bought a new Yosemite G3 and I am looking for anyone who could give me some help/advice on how to transfer files to and from a PowerBook 1400. I guess my two ultimate questi…

Check out the following site for information about gPort by Griffin Technologies. It installs into the modem slot and provides a serial port which supports localtalk networking. h…

is it a cd or is it a dvd

I have a beige G3 with DVD that exhibits the same delay while the disk is being spun up. It'd be nice if it didn't happen!

I have the same problem exept I have a 6500 with a 12X CD drive. The whole computer momentarally freezes while the CD gets spun up and accessed. Its especially annoying when you ar…

It's a CD drive, not DVD. sedgwick, the processor idea makes sense, but I'm not sure it explains why the entire computer "locks up". I literally can't do anything but move the …

I wonder if the difference between a Mac and PC with an IDE CD-ROM is that Windows is not as actively aware of whether disks are inserted into drives (CDs, floppies, etc)- I've hea…
