We have had too many problems with ORB to recommend it. We too back up large M100 files and writing seemed to work but copying a file BACK from the ORB was a crap-shoot. We also …

I have had a Jaz drive for two years and only had one bad disk problem (Iomega replaced the disk free). I purchased an Orb SCSI drive thinking I could replace the Jaz. However, …

Lots of problems with the Orb, so don't go with it. Jaz drives are a tad bit more reliable, but still, disks can corrupt. CDRW media CAN be read on normal cd-roms as long as they …

Well I must just be the exception. I've had my Orb drive since October and it has been great. No problems with disks, I have three of them. Just prior to purchasing the Orb I bo…

I must be lucky too. I've had my ORB for about 4 months now. I have 4 disk with no problems at all. In fact, I'm buying another disk today.

Well I must be really lucky. I've had a Jaz drive for 3 years now and I've NEVER had a problem, and for the last five months I've had a scsi cdr, scanner AND the Jaz hooked to my D…

I have a PC user friend (but he's very nice to Macs, mind you) who owns an external 1GB Jaz and an internal Orb. I have been using the Jaz now that he got the Orb, and I am please…

I got a SCSI Orb when they first came out. I had some trouble at first, but much of this was because of changes (improvements) in the drivers. I lost all of the data on one of my d…

hello I'm looking for an unix-like for my LC2 a NeXTstep version (if it runs so well on my LC2) would be the best. Thank you for help me on my research ... of the truth ! (hi hi) …

Is it possible to play european DVD titles on american DVD-ROM's?

The 9 GB hard drive on my brand-new B&W 400 mhz crashed and was diagnosed by Apple tech support as "dead". It was replaced under warranty by an Apple certified service dept. B…

Yes, that is probably right. 8.5 GB 8.5*1024 = 8704 MB 8704*1024 = 8912896 KB Most people just look at the 8912896 KB and call it 9 GB (when it really is only 8.5 GB) because they…

Does anybody know if it is possible to set up 2 machines, a Mac and an NT box, with a USB keyboard and mouse through a hub or something so that I can switch between the two compute…

Does anyone know where I can get a video card for a 6116cd?

Just try http://www.galaxyhp.com/ Also make sure you have both in and out S-video adapters, because they don't ship it together with the video card.

I am very interested in trying to locate a USB video input device for my iMac. I looked at AVID's new program and device, but it has some limitations such as not having two channe…

I apologize for the stupidness of my question, but I know nothing really about microphones. Myself and two friends are all out to buy new (external) microphones for our computers. …

They are all the same.

They are not the same. PC microphones will not work on the Mac, reverse is probably also true.

PC Microphones are straightforward analog microphones, usually with minijack plugs. These can be used on a Mac for audio recording, but not for speech recognition, for which you ne…

I am not so sure about that. I recently tried a microphone made for the PC, although it work on the PC, it does not work on the Mac, even for audio recording. Also, I found that …
