Thanks for the advice. My concern about the 575 is that it has the monitor attached...I'd like to get by without it! Thus my question about putting the 575 mobo in a different case…

I'd go with the 575...it's convenient and compact, and offers everything that the 605 and the 475, with the addition of the comm-slot.

a 575 offers a very nice monitor, and is identical to the Quadra 605 in all respects except that you can add ethernet without taking the LC PDS slot. The 575 motherboard uses a co…

Ermm... Guy's you have a whole forum for the G5... Yet you choose to hi-jack this thread. So in light of 64bit applications, how does your discussion contribute to my problem solvi…

I suppose a peek inside to look for a PRAM battery could be in order. There may also be some sort of reset button situated internally. You never know. Few of us have ever even s…

Well looks like that may very well be a typo, the only alternative name I've found for Outbound's laptop is "RealTech Travler."

They wrongly called it the "Outback"! Click to expand... Perhaps the specific model is called Outback? Click to expand... Possible. Though typos like that were not unheard…

For the record, these things already exist. Here's an example of one. Similar devices exist for Ethernet as well. To clarify matters a little bit, these are not general purpose "n…

According to Wikipedia, Outbound was NOT an Australian company - which a lot of people said it was. :-/

more than enough for your mac plus

OK, yeah, that would be pretty cool...but what kind of throughput are you going to get on the RS232 port???

Is it April 1 where you are living? Click to expand... the one you just took a shot at. Click to expand... Click to expand... Disclaimer: Absolutely no shots were taken …

Apparently just pressing any key on the keyboard should power it up. http://forum.soft32.com/mac/Outbound-laptop-ftopict7833.html

Nice! Which models?

I think about ten desktops and ten portables - most working Culling is good. JB

How many macs do you have?

Huh?

RS-232 to wireless ethernet would be cool. I have a suspicion that the chip controlling it would be more powerful than the Mac using it though Using one with a PowerBook 100 w…

I found it. It's on page 486, but it doesn't say how to turn it on. They wrongly called it the "Outback"!

I think at this point in time the best you are going to get is one of the many ethernet > wifi bridges. You'd need to configure it on a PC, but after that it should work nic…

I think I remember reading how to turn it on in MacWorld MacSecrets 5th Edition for some reason. I know that they do talk about that laptop in that book and the straw.

Cost: $61 AUD, which is a bit to me but should enable me to offload some other Macs as I hone down the collection Seems OS X is a difficult prospect on these machines - some so…

R$ doesn't carry a matching replacement part and the one they do have will be an ugly install anyways. So, really, I had no choice. I also intend to put copies of the morning se…
