I'm cleaning up the plastics on a G4 and thought about removing the paint from the inside of the side panels and either leaving them clear or painting them another color. Then I realized that won't work for the apple in the center. Is the apple covered by a separate piece of plastic that can...

I had an old 12"x12" Wacom ArtZII (Digitizer II) that got damaged before I really had a chance to play with it. It was the Mac version with the DIN serial port but after much searching I was able to find a female-DIN to male DB9 adapter for using it on an SGI (which I never got around to) and a...

I know about the Nubus-based Photoshop DSP accelerators but are there any similar PCI cards? I think I remember seeing something like that years ago but I can't remember the name of it. I'm not talking about using modern GPUs for processig.

In approximately 10 years of collecting Macs I've never even seen a Workgroup Server 9150 in person. I saw two on craigslist last night and picked them up today! I haven't powered them on yet but they look good other than some dirt and yellowing on some of the plastics. They even have the...

I need a new toner cartridge for my LaserJet 5M. I bought an original HP 98X high capacity cartridge off ebay and it only lasted a few months before grey streaks started showing up on the paper. I found out this is most likely due to a failed wiper blade and that they deteriorate with age so...

Did anybody here snag the Second Wave PCI-Nubus expansion box that just went on ebay for $50? http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Second-Wave-Xpanse-pn800-PCI-Nubus-box-/330600708523?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf95679ab I've never seen one in person though I remember seeing one listed for a long...

Does anybody know if its possible to swap the guts of a 2.0 GHz dual-core/PCIe G5 into the case from a 1.8 GHz dual-processor/PCI-X? I have both on the way from ebay. I bought the 1.8 first since its supposed to be in neat mint shape with airport extreme, bluetooth, keyboard, and mouse. Then...

Can anybody comment on the quality of video captured on PCI Power Macs (ie 7500, 8500, 8600, etc) compared to video capture cards of their day? I've owned several pro capture cards in the past (Truevision/Pinnacle Targa 2000, Aurora Igniter, etc) but don't currently have any and never really...

Is there any Mac software than can do RAID 5? Disk Utility can't and neither can SoftRAID.

Does anyone know if the Wired Inc. product in this article actually exists? I've never heard of it before.

Just got a 3400c but haven't dug into one for awhile and haven't opened this one up yet - need a power adapter to test it out before I go taking it apart. Is there a way to tighten up the hinges? And the pop out feet don't lock into place. Seems to me I fixed that on several of them before...

OK, sorry if this is a repost but a search on Mac-o-lantern didn't bring anything up. Still plenty of time before Halloween!

I've got a LaserJet 5M (the "Mac version") with all the options except for the stupid IR receiver. I just got a free pile of 32MB 72-pin SIMMS. I thought they were 16MB and tonight I figured I'd upgrade the LaserJet RAM to its max. There are 4 SIMM slots but the 5M has a PostScript SIMM so...

Tonight when I needed to copy some CDs for tomorrow I find out my new iMac doesn't like CDs with paper labels! I've been wanting to get an older Mac again and I happen to have an ACARD SCSI-ATA adapter thats not getting used. So I could theoretically hook a new DVD-RW drive to whatever old...
