Think different - how about a "storage" network and a regular network? It's definitely possible for multiple machines to have access to a storage array via FireWire. Dave -------…

Will the current G3's be upgradable to the G4 (when it comes out this summer)?, and will the rest of the architecture remain equal ie: system/memory bus speeds. I'd like to buy the…

It won't be possible! The G3 is related to the 603e, and the G4 will be "directly" related to the 604e. Similar to how the 68040 was with the 68LC040 that I have in my P640 with …

Smoke signals from different rumor sites within the past 2 or 3 months suggest that a pin compatible G4 may well be in the cards. However, Maxbus and AGP4x may be available on fir…

The current G3s will, in fact, be upgradeable to G4 processors. The first version of G4 will come in the same 360-pin BCA package, so yes it will be upgradeable. Remember that the …

mkbhatia is right. The presentation by Motorola explicitly states that the first version(s) of their G4 will be pin-compatible with G3s. The only minor quibble about mk's post was …

i stand corrected =) -m

If you don't own a Apple g3 now (and you have the cash), you should buy one. Don't sit around and wait for the g4. Once the g4 comes out your will be thinking about holding off fo…

Anyone using the ProMax Digital Video Editor on G3? Please respond with your review/critique. Thanks.

I have 2 iMacs and a cable modem I'd like to share. Typically this type of setup would require a Mac with 2 ethernet cards, one for the cable modem and one to go to the hub where t…

First, you need to get a unique IP address for each iMac from your ISP. If they are willing to do this, it becomes easy to get everything working. Buy a 4 port Ethernet hub (a 10…

I have an Ethernet hub already, but if I even connect 1 iMac to it and the cable modem as well, the computer doesn't "see" the cable modem. I assume I simply have to have the cable…

There is a software soultion: IPNetRouter by http://www.sustworks.com/ It will let you use on e IP address with one cable modem. The only backdraw is that the iMac running IPNetRou…

Well, that's not quite true. Software like IPNetRouter works great for this sort of thing except for 1 little problem - the server machine must have 2 ethernet ports, one to connec…

Is your cable modem connected to the uplink port on your ethernet hub? If not, you will need to use an ethernet crossover cable to get the communication between your iMac and cable…

Right, the good people at Ask Dr. Farallon got back to me with the details on how to set up this sort of home LAN. The cable modem can connect with a standard cable to the uplink p…

Is there a way to calibrate the scanner?? The pictures come out way darker than the original photo.

This scanner sounds interesting and looks good for the iMac. Has anyone had any experience with Artec products, anything particular to be aware of, or similar highlights or concer…

Just as I was about to purchase the UMAX 1220u scanner, an ad in MacAddict magazine caught my eye. A full page ad of the Agfa SnapScan 1212u scanner. They are currently selling f…

is anyone aware of any wireless networking solutions for the mac?

There is the breeznet by http://www.breezecom.com/, an ethernet over radio solution. Its expensive but you can use the network while moving up to 50 mph.

Has anyone used a QuickCam from Logitech (formerly from Connectix)? Any comments on how well they work or how satisfied you were would be appreciated. They have a USB Mac/Win ver…

some brief comments on today's edition of both MacNN and iMac2day (2/10).

I have a G3 300 w/UW SCSI, and recently added a 6GB maxtor drive as slave to the CD-ROM and it works great. What I would like to know is, it is possible to add another IDE drive? R…
