    I have the PC version of the Radeon 9800 pro video card purchased as an upgrade for my G4 AGP (Sawtooth). I bought it from eBay as the description said it was the Mac version.

    Hello, I scored a 400Mhz sawtooth and don't know too much about this machine. it has OSX 10.2 installed. I have found CPU upgrades that will take it up to 1.6 Ghz, but they cost an arm and a leg. I have maxed out memory but if I can find a CPU upgrade that would be great. Any recommendations...

    Source for iMac "Core 2 Duo" LCD?

    I can't seem to find any info on this apparent video card labeled "newlife computer corp". Serves me right for pulling the trigger on an auction before trying to find info. Anyway, I am hoping one of you folks have seen it before. See the pics here: It has a cable...

    Personal LasterWriter 300

    Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd roll the dice and take a chance! Is there a test print function to test it stand-alone? Anyone know where to find...

    SE/30 Daystar adapter issue

    I have a Daystar SE/30 adapter, but it doesn't work. With a powercache card installed, the display goes all wonky. With the adapter installed by itself, all is ok. Close inspection reveals a solder bridge across a couple of the pins. Should it be there? Perhaps one of you folks that has one...

    IIsi & IIfx ROM SIMM question

    Hello, Is it ok to test a IIfx ROM SIMM by installing it in a IIsi and making sure it runs? Is it that simple? I intend on installing it into my SE/30, but was wondering if I can test it in my IIsi first since it's easier to get to. I do not have a IIfx. Thanks for any info! Gary
