The Laserwriter 16/600 here has a problem with "ghosting" on print pages. The manual says to print a few pages and the ghosting should disappear, but that hasn't worked. Changing toner cartridges has no effect. Anyone have other suggestions?

Just picked up an Aluminum G4 Powerbook, 1.5GHz, 1GB Ram, 80GB HD, with Apple charger and a new battery (5 cycles). My first laptop (I know, WAAY behind the times) so I'm kind of excited by it.

The machine in question is a late 2005 2.3GHz Dual core G5 with 6GB of Ram. It keeps doing random KP's after varying intervals of operation. It doesn't always give me a report but when it does it's things like "Empty mapping block" or "Unresolved Kernel Trap 0x400 Inst Access". I've...

I have not been able to find much relevant info about speakers for G5 towers. What speakers out there work with the G5 towers (late 2005 DC models)? Not looking for super high fidelity, just a pair better than the lousy built in speaker that will do a decent job of music reproduction.

I have a 2.0GHz dual processor G5, (June 2004, 8 Ram slot model), that will not boot unless I heat the MB area around the Ram slots with a hair dryer for about a minute, then it boots and runs fine. Attempting to boot cold, the front panel light flashes 3 times, indicating a Ram problem. I've...

Help! Does anyone have Classic OS drivers for an Adaptec 3940UW PCI card? The Adaptec site isn't any help and a google search mostly comes up with Windows drivers, unless I'm willing to join ZDNet and get bombarded with spam as a result. No thanks! We get more than enough trash in the inbox...

For the Ram gurus here, a question. What happens if you mix FPM and EDO Ram in an 8600/9600? Machine gets flakey, won't boot at all, smoke and flames, or?? Also, I just picked up a few sticks that reportedly were pulls from an 8600/300, but according to the Chipmunk site and the Mitsubishi...

There's 512MB of Ram (4 sticks) in the 9600 I just got but I can't find anything on the Chipmunk site that corresponds to the chip markings. They're Sonnet sticks but the Sonnet label only tells me they're 128MB, 168 pin, 60NS. The marking on the chips themselves are: SMS 8MX8T 0305 At...

Picked up a 9600 G4/800 today, 512 MB Ram, a 4 GB SCSI drive and a 10 GB IDE drive driven off an IDE/USB/Firewire card. Radeon 7000 Video card and the usual floppy and CD drives. Case is a little rough in a couple of spots but not too bad. When I first tried to power it up the PS would only...

For anyone interested here's a link to a Lemswap post for a free 128K Mac, upgraded to a 512K. NOT my sale. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap/browse_thread/thread/4e81c78c9e68f4b3#

Won an eBay auction for a G4 MDD 1.42 DP 512MB/120GB and it should arrive in the next few days. I plan to boost the Ram and add another HD at some point, then it will run a scientific program in the background and maybe be a server for my LAN. May even try Linux in the future.

Local Craigslist has a 20 inch G5 iMac, 1.8 MHz, 2GB, 150 GB HD, OS 10.4.11, CS3 Suite, keyboard, mouse, original install disks. All for $600. Is that a decent price?

Okay folks, idiot question number 200. I have a 9500/G4 that has gone all weird on me after swapping a couple of video cards around. So, is the CUDA switch the red switch on the MB labeled S1? What should the configuration of the system be,,,power on/off, power cord connected/disconnected, etc?

I just picked up off eBay a Fujitsu MAS318RNC 18GB 15K RPM HD that appears to be DOA. Have tried 2 different 80 - 50 pin adapters, 2 different SCSI cables, the machine Bus 1, and Bus 2, an Adaptec PCI card. System is a 9500/G4 800 OS 9.2.2. None of the utilities (Hard Disk Speedtools, FWB, MT...

I have a chance to pick up a defunct Laserwriter Pro 600 cheap; the question is how much, if any, of the 600 is common to the Laserwriter 16/600. Specifically, did the Pro 600 have a hard disk and is the Ram compatible with the 16/600? Edit: Sorry Bunsen, I found the answers to my specific...

For anyone near London, someone over on the vintage Mac forum of Lowend Mac has a pile of goodies that must be gone by Nov 23. Pickup only, but a bunch of systems and monitors there.

I just acquired a 36GB Quantum Atlas II HD. Hard Disk Speedtools says there's no Mac partitions so I went to FWB PE and tried to low level format but keep getting "device not ready" msgs. Both utilities see the drive on the bus just fine and the id is okay, no conflicts. I tried both with the...

I picked up a used 16/600 recently recently but can't get it too work. Both RAM slots are full and it has the internal HD. On powerup all the status lights flash as they should then it sits with the "paper out" and "paper jam" lights flashing alternatively. The paper tray is full and there is...

The local Craig's list finally had something good on it. A former Apple dealer advertised a bunch of vintage Mac stuff, so I went to look today. Amazing! Probably two truckloads of stuff; everything from a B&W G3 to shelves of boxed software (Final Cut Pro, for example) tp boxes of...
