How does one tell the difference? I'm guessing System Profiler, but then I didn't know there was more than one revision of the card. Nick

Progress. At least with the BigPond installation. Logged into the router and changed B&G to B(legacy)&G, and it worked. I also turned on the firewall. Okay the router firewall was off, as was the Windows firewall on the PC I was using. WILL PC USERS NEVER LEARN?! > :( When I...

Okay, thanks guys, might be onto something here. I'll have to check things out. But I'm fairly sure the D-Link was set to handle B and G standards, the bigpond router I don't recall. ARGH! But thanks again. Nick

Folks, First off, sorry if I've put this in the wrong conference, it's late, I'm tired, and running out of options. I'm having trouble getting Macs with Airport cards to talk to non-apple wi-fi routers. Case 1: G4/400 with airport, running Tiger won't talk to the wi-fi router supplied with a...

Less than an hour ago, my first 68K conquest in ages. :D It's an SE/30, not sure of the specs yet, all I was told was that it booted a few years ago. If it's a goer, I'll be happy. I've wanted a working SE/30 in the collection for ages. I'll put it up on the bench tonight and see what...

Methinks the classic II is slightly dead. Pulled the thing apart again, the motherboard was fairly free of dust. Examined the RAM and connectors, no tarnishing or discolouration. Could be leaky capacitors, or just flux on the solder pads, I couldn't quite tell. I've seen enough leaky caps to...

Thanks Quadraman, I'll do that. I had plans for the machine. Nick

A few days ago, I got my hands on a Classic II with an allegedly dead hard drive. Replacing the drive was no problem, plenty of spares. Powered the beast. Yaaaaaaa!………No startup chime, stripes with some garbage, it finally settled on a checkerboard. :( So I hit the internets, a google...

Apparently there was some sort of a settlement between Apple and Linksys allowing Apple to use the name. I personally think Apple should have had their arses sued off. Steve Jobs may be a great salesman, but otherwise he's a ruthless and arrogant bastard. But I guess to get to where he is...

I've got pix on my camera, but I've misplaced my card reader and USB cable for my camera. And I have no idea how or where to upload them to the 'net anyway As to the model number, all it has on the base is ERICSSON: IPHONE Pix can be found through Google Image if you search for Infogear...

Folks, Went to an AUSOM members-only swap meet on the weekend, didn't pick up a much mac stuff, a couple of Pismo CD and DVD drive units, a couple of games, stuff, boxes of stuff, all non apple, but, I did get an iPhone for $5. Yep. A genuine Ericsson iPhone, not the all show no substance...

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive is partitioned, two installs of OS9, one English one Japanese, so that's going to be interesting And a deadish...

M6498 I suspect it may have been opened up before, an upgrade prior to delivery to the original owner? As it has 512 Megs of RAM, 256/256. Course I want to take it to the maximum 1 Gig. Going bigger and better on the hard drive and DVD drive will be where I run into problems. I can live...
