I just purchased 128 meg from Memorytogo.com for $119, a little more for fed ex delivery. Works great!

Yes, the Low-Profile RAM is the only RAM you can get to fit into the 2nd Slot... 192MB is the Fastest/most cost efficiect amount of Memory to have in the iMAC. 128MB in the top sl…

There is a difference in memory quality. The memory you buy from catalogs are top of the line premium memory, which is why you can spend so much on them, but you are guarranteed th…

Heh, you might wanna check that math, Macguy - 128+32=160MB :-D It was incredibly easy for me to install my 128MB DIMM... Apple even includes an illustrated guide in the Apple Gui…

Focus (focusinfo.com) makes the iTView which is a full iMac to television presentation system. iTView uses the iMac Video Adapter, which is also sold separately (call Focus: 800-…

Another thing you can do is rip the back panel off the iMac. There will be a DB15 plug pluged into the logic board. Unplug it and plug in you gigger display and then it's 21" if yo…

what i was hoping for was to use the little port, which i thought was an expansion port, to stick in a video card and have a 17" monitor hooked up to it. but i guess thats not real…

What do you mean by little port? If you have a Rev. A or B iMac with a mezzanine slot, then you have many more possibilities.

mezzanine slot? what the hell is that?

The first two versions of the iMac, the ones with the irPort on the front left, had an unadvertised slot on the motherboard. This slot, known as the mezzanine slot, was an escape …

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…

i think the PB 1400 comes with onboard ethernet. if this is true all you need to get those files transferred is a $5 cable, and it will be ALOT faster than serial... you need a "et…

The 1400 doesn't have ethernet built in but does have scsi. Does you G3 have a scsi card? If so use the scsi disk mode on the powerbook. Jeff

yes by chance did you buy this at mac mart

No, I bought it at the apple store. Have you come up with any solutions to the problem?

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…

I have a 6100 with an ex 32x SCSI CD-ROM and everytime I insertn a CD it takes abour 3-4 seconds for the computer to become responcive.

Peecees will not let you write to an empty drive. Nice idea, though :-) In addition, peecees *do* have the same delay, IF they are waiting for data from the drive in an active pro…
