NEC clik!-usb now works. I installed the USB Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 from Apple, and now I have a USB clik! drive for the Macintosh. Cons - DOS formated disk, unable to reform…

To format a DOS disk as HFS or HFS+, disable File Exchange or PC Exchange (depending on what OS version). Then when you mount the disk it will pop up with the "This disk in not in…

hi, what you really need is what's called an "AAUI Tranceiver" (sp?) as far as i know, all powermacs shipped w/ ethernet, but the earlier ones, such as your 6100, didn't have a nor…

Hi, thanks for replying. I already have a transcever. but I need another ethernet port.

Asante made one for the longest time, EN/SC. But as far as I knew, the drivers for it were NOT Open Trasnport compliant. And if I can extrapolate what you're trying to do, I'd gues…

Yeah, i'm switchiung to a sloted machine. Thanks for your postings everyone!

Its called a Sony DVMC-DA1 and it converts analog signal to digital signal (firewire) on the fly. There is actually a newer model too, its the DVMC-MS1. I have the MS1, and it wo…

I have the DVMC-DA1. I paid $371.74 before TAX from Troxell Communications - 272-0440, but I work for an education so this might be and education only price. http://www.sel.sony.co…

I'm going to be connecting a video camera via firewire to my B&W G3 like this: (Sony DCR-PC1)+(15 Foot FireWire Cable)+(Orange Micro FireWire Repeater)+(15 Foot Fire Wire Cable…

Why do they make s-video cables that are 30 feet long when the spec says 6 feet or less? Because it usually works, especially with a repeater... Drewman

hi there, sorry, but that's the big drawback of using usb for high-bandwith devices. usb can't push enough data to the farther devices fast enough to keep up with their needs. when…

Thanks for the reply, that's what I thought. I understand about the Avid capture needing all the bandwith, but I thought my CDR at a slower speed setting would be OK. Oh well, I'm …

Most likely it is the same thing packaged differently to prevent price matching among retailers; Apple did something similar a while back with the Performas, selling the 637 to one…

They had different software packages bundled with them. One had business software and paper samples while the other had home software and paper samples. The hardware is the same. …

there is an ergonomic Mac ADB keyboard w/trackpad here: http://www.adessoinc.com/egpdtmn.htm but you'd need a ADB/USB adapter... not a great expense for the adapter, i think they'…

Most ADB keyboard's power buttons won't work through an adapter. You will have to turn on the system using the power button on the tower. If it's on the floor, it could be pretty…

I just upgraded from a Beige G3 to a G4/450 and was in the same position as you. I had been using the stock ADB Beige keyboard & a Kensington Tubro Mouse. I bought a Griffin Te…

To wjpjr-so how did you get your G4? Mine's been on order since september! Hope it's all it's cracked up to be. It seems that the conclusion appears to be to buy a USB keyboard to …

to timeop-just lucky I guess. My 450 was ordered as a 500 on 9/8. Called Apple on 10/15. Had it reinstated/downgraded to 450 at original price on 10/14. 450 in hand on 10/20. My Ap…

i have a Umax, rather old now i guess, model 610, SCSI... works great (not spectacular quality though, can't expect that for the price! less than $100 new) with my G3 beige minitow…

Hi, You have to make sure that software is easily available for whichever scanner you buy. i.e. buy from a company that'll support the software through the Mac OS software revisi…

Are you looking for a USB scanner? If so, I bought the Umax 1220U. It works really well, kinda noisy when it scans though. It was $150 when I bought it but you can probably find…
