Take 2: search google to see if there is a way to make the camera mount in mac os x as storage device, THEN you should be able to remove the individual files.

I'm still convinced there's supposed to be a ROM SIMM in one of those slots. There are no chips on the board that resemble any ROM or Flash chips even slightly, there are two slots…

No, Ken, this camera has a built in hard drive (80 Gig). The software from Sony doesn't support Mac. I can get to the photo's with Iphoto but can't seem to get to the vid clips an…

That RAM should be compatible with the 6100, but it doesn't matter, the 6100 has 8MB of onboard RAM, thats what the 16 chips next to the PRAM battery are for, so it should boot wit…

Back in the day I read a book about building your own Macintosh. I really wanted to build an SE/30 but I couldn't come up with the cash. Of course now I could build a 100 of them…

Awesome temp conquest! I'm quiet fond of ibooks, in fact what got me back into my current mac phase was an ibook 700 or 800mhz g3 (I don't recall which atm), but I have always had …
