  • 1. Check with a mac dealer. All them should have it. Personally I like Maczone.com. 2. My friend has a Sonnet Tempo 66 & it works well. No drivers required & OS X compatable. $100 sounds like a reasonable price for the Tempo 100.
    in Questions (and a tip) about third hard drive in G4... Comment by x704 December 2001
  • Using XLR8yourmac's comp. base, I found out that the Toshiba SW 1002 is almost fully compatable (some issues with Apples disc burner, but can be hacked to work). I picked up this CDRW/DVD for $65 on ebay a few months ago (may be even cheaper now). …
    in Where to buy replacement CD/DVD drive... Comment by x704 December 2001
  • I'd suggest getting the iBook & selling the iMac as long as your not really a big 3D gamer (which would make the iMac a poor choice anyway). You'll probably want an external monitor, you can probably pick up a used 17" one in good shape for a…
    in Help me make a decision: buy New or used? Comment by x704 December 2001
  • Regarding the Serial to USB adapter I really don't think it's worth the trouble. If you keep your eye on pages like dealnn.com & macnn.com around once a week you'll see a deal for a USB printer for $50 or less (that's around what an adapter …
    in Some Questions for iMac Users Comment by x704 December 2001
  • [quote]Originally posted by Aquatic: Plus FireWire 2 and TCP/IP over FireWire bring new possibilities... Indeed that is interesting. With FW2 it'd be near 1000 BT speeds which would matter more for iMacs I suppose but may also be good for som…
    in moved: FireWire 2 Comment by x704 January 2003
  • A few thoughts: Firewire 2.0/b (whatever) specifications we locked in this spring. It'll be hitting the market pretty soon. Firewire 2 has a 150' (or something around there) range. Firewire 1 can be used for networking. Firewire 2 runs at 8…

    in Actual Pic - Rackmount Comment by x704 May 2002
  • I saw this too but with Apples server announcement coming next week I think we'll see what's most likely in store for MWNY for the PM line (I assume DDR, faster bus, etc). I wouldn't worry too much. Between Jaguar & this new hardware I assume …

  • I sincerely hope apple has more to offer then this come MWNY.
    in What are the Odds... Comment by x704 April 2002
  • I think the points made are reasonable for a reason to release the G5 at NAB. Of course that in no way means that the G5 is ready (who knows). I wouldn't rule out the possibillity (although I consider it unlikely). It sure would be a good way t…

    in In need of advice Comment by x704 March 2002
  • Here's the way I see it. I just (well about 2 months ago) purchased a new G4 800 (SP). It's not much of an upgrade from my old G4 466 but it fits into my overall strategy. I always buy bottom of the line (then beef it up a bit with ram, HD upgrad…

  • [quote]Originally posted by neovirusnine: Why would apple port os 9 to os X on an entirely new processor. It makes no sense. For one thing the g5 isn't due till at least early next year and by then os X should be at or past the 12 o clock. It wo…
