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…

The PB 500-series is particularly cool if you can find a PPC CPU daughtercard to pop into it. Otherwise you're ceiling is OS 8.1 and you're unable to run PPC-only apps (e.g. Office…
