You need to get an Apple Service provider to order a mounting kit (they may call it a sled) - you can get either an upper tray sled or a lower tray (they are different). I would ge…

Hi, You should check which revision of beige G3 you've got as the early ones do not support slave drives. I wanted to add a slave drive myself but cannot because of this situation…

Has anyone successfully used 64-mb SIMMs in an 8100? Apple rates it to use up to 32-mb (only), but I read somewhere 64's work in 6100s (also rated by Apple for 32's max).

I'm about to buy a new iMac and iBook for myself and my fiancee. I will then have an 8600/250 and a Quadra 800. I'm using a cable modem with 10 base T ethernet for internet access.…

I'm not etirely sure about this, but a friend of mine has 3 Macs (an iMac, PowerComputing 180, and a Mac IIfx). Each computer is connected to the internet over a 56k modem, and the…

IP routing via IPNetRouter is not something that will tax your Quadra - even at 10Mbs speeds. If you are concerened about security you might want to use your Quadra for routing o…

I just scored an old IIci (for $100; new 'twas $6499 list) so that I wouldn't have to use my 7500 to do IPNR. It sits in the closet humming along (it was a former corporate server …

Using a IIfx with a cable modem as router machine on a 10base-t network, works fine, no lower speeds and very stable. I think it would be a waste to use a great machine like a 8600…

I agree, Jona. And I gotta recommend XLR8's bitchen new Carrier ZIF� card for the "Power Surge" series. It rocks!

I have an old iicx and i'd like to use that as a router for my cable modem. can anybody point me to some resources for maiking a macintosh router? any thoughtful comments would be …

I think the routing software most people are talking about on this discussion is IPNetRouter by Sustainable Softworks. In my opinion its a really great program. There's a demo at t…

IPNetRouter is awesome. I've been using it for at least a year. The latest version includes a DHCP server. It's irrelevant if you only run MacOS because Location Manager means you …

I use a Q650 with Vicom SoftRouter and have been really happy. Soon I'll be moving to an X-Router from MacSense. Does the same thing but through a little hardware hub type thing. …

I'd just like to say thanks for all the input. I've decided to use the Quadra for routing based on the responses I've gotten. Thanks again Tony

I just purchased an internal CD-RW (Yamaha CRW6416s) drive. I'm running a 7600/120 mac - I've got everything hooked up but now it seems to be giving me hang-ups on startups and whe…

be sure to have the Apple CD extention disabled. You won't need it with the 3rd party drive, and the Toast software will be redundant.

I also have the same problem with my internal 6416. Freezes within minutes of startup. I don't even have to do anything with the cd, though, for it to freeze. I've used CD Speed…

Gabe: Using Conflict Catcher, I found out that the reason it was crashing was due to a corrupt font suitcase. You may want to check this out. Also, I've heard that there is an u…

Just to help on one issue: No semi-modern Mac has a SCSI bus, technically. They all have a SCSI-2, Fast SCSI-2, Fast & Wide SCSI -2, Ultra SCSI-3, etc. bus. SCSI has gone throu…

Anyone know off the top of their head what flavour of SCSI is in the Rev. A G3 DT? ------------------ "No Brian! Those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those! I never se…

I just bought an EXTERNAL 6416 Yamaha CDRW. It has a very bad scsi problem with macos 8.6.Toast 3.5.7 crashes when attempting to access the cdrw, and the extension Toast reader cra…

Hi, me again... I fixed my problem... I turned my internal CDRW drive into a EXTERNAL device. This seems to work without any problems. It turns out that my internal SCSI has a ter…

I am looking into buying and older powerbook for e-mail and word processing. I would also like to be able to network it with my iMac. I was wondering which model you would recomm…

I have a 540c in good shape which has ethernet, I think 20 meg of RAM (I'll check if you're interested). It's a good choice in that it was top of the line when built. Active color …

Couple questions: How much RAM? 320 or 500MB hard drive? Modem speed? What software does it come with? Do you have all cords, and batteries? Has the processor been upgraded or…
