  • Ok, so the D-link DWL-122 is poop. It's not recognised at startup - you have to unplug it and plug it back in, it only keeps a connection up for a couple of minutes before it drops and even causes my mac mini to freeze up. After a little research …

  • Yeah, a quick google revealed that you should be able to read a NTFS drive, but still no luck?? Anyway, I will copy the stuff off, re-format etc etc. One more Q whilst i'm here, I have an OS upgrade disk which I would like to use. In the readme…

  • OK, I have found someone selling a mini quite cheap but it is the poverty spec one and I need WiFi so, can I either install the airport module myself or use a USB WiFi adaptor? Also is it possible to upgrade the 'combo drive' to a 'super drive' or …
