I have a USB CD-RW and can burn audio CD's at 4x. It's a Freecom Traveller CD-RW, connected to an iMac DV SE, MacOS 8.6 and Toast 3.8.1 Freecom announced an upgrade to FireWire fo…

Hello, I have an old SCSI Zip drive, which I originally used with my old Quadra 660AV. I got a G3 All-In-One (AIO) last December, and have been using the Zip with it. As you may kn…

Allow me to answer myself. No. Asside from the fact that internal drives have to be sealed, which the de-cased Zip is not (obvious in 20/20 hindsight: i forgot about that rather la…

do you like the QUE! drive? i've been considering many usb cd-rw's for my lime wonder, but i think i've settled on the QUE!. I would apprieciate any thoughts, good and bad that you…

hi, the que is okay for my needs, mainly backing up mac files/volumes and some mix cds. as long as you have vm off, nothing else going on, and don't mind the time (the usb bottlene…

yeah! that does help, i think i'll buy one when i build up the scratch.

Ster: actually, the idea of ripping a zip drive from the blue shell is not as farfetched as you might think, despite the window. As you may have seen the external jaz drives have a…

actually, i got the drive case open quite easily. there are three little plastic tabs that you have to pry open, that's it. to clarify a bit, the scsi connector is, of course, exte…

Hi, Are USB CD-R drives as good as SCSI CD-R drives? Can you really cut a CD at the 4X speed? Thanks, Amin

I happen to have a USB Sony Spressa CD-RW drive and I like it a lot. You can burn a CD-R at 4x speed. The only time I had a problem was when I tried to copy an Audio CD straight …

i have a QPS Que drive. for the money (~$300) it was a nice buy. i have made several backup discs, as well as a number of audio CDs. the main complaint that i - and many other Que …

Anyone had an experience with this unit? jpb

Has anyone here used bulk refills? Would you recommend trying it or not trying it? I have an Epson Stylus 740. Several Website offers refills, but one lone site doesn't, stating…

I dont know about that but why take the chance? Do what I do, I go to www.ink4art.com where I can get 3 NEW black and 3 NEW Color cartridges for only $59.99 total. Hope this hel…

FWIW, Both manuals for my Epson 1520 and 750 state not to refill ink cartridges. I have also been told this by others "in the know" regarding Epson printers. Hope this helps. Fran…

I use 3rd party carts from the Green Business Company (in the UK) for my Stylus 600, no difference in quality and no breakdowns in nearly 2 years, just half price carts. I'd be int…

There are two good sources of non-epson ink cartridges - Amazon (not the .com company) and Rhino. Both are available at a lot of the mail order houses incl. MacWarehouse and MacCon…

I have been told time and again to AVOID ink4art at ALL costs... they are very bad... don't deliever the goods, literally. Reliable resources such as ResExcellence and MacsOnly an…

Refilling only seems to work if the cartridge is used often. I've been very successful doing it on my HP fax machine. After using 40 plus cartridges my 700 just doesn't print like…

An Epson customer support tech once warned me not to use third-party ink refills since they clog the print heads (the ink is apparently much more syrupy). From personal experience,…

Epson isn't stupid. Like Gillette's classic tome, "we make our money selling blades, not by selling razors.." Epson kills you on ink. The cartridges are purposely difficult to ref…

In my experience Epson printers print mush higher quality color photos (especially when using photo paper). The trade off is that the ink mechanism is very sensitive to clogs. One …

My concern, in addition to all the ones mentioned already, is the fact that when refilling, it would be nearly impossible to put in exactly the right amount of ink, therefore messi…

I have a new Powerbook (bronze) 400 machine and I can't get my printer to work. It is an HP Deskjet 810C. It would freeze my system everytime I wanted to print before so I decided …
