To terminate the SCSI bus, the Terminator packs (whether part of a device, or a block itself) must have power (I think it's +5v) in order to properly terminate the bus. When there is no power, it's as if the terminator is not even on the chain. This causes the signals to bounce back and forth...

USB 1.1 Tops out at 12Mbps, or rather ~ 900KiB/s - 1.2MiBytes/sec. So that's most likely not the bottle neck. I would check if your adapter is getting good reception. You should be getting close to 802.11b speeds, or there-abouts as that is close to the speed of the original Spec. Also keep...

Keep in mind some systems don't provide Term Power, and your Zip 100 doesn't. Without Term power (terminator) it won't show up as there is nothing to provide active termination. You might need a hard drive or an external Terminator that can provide it's own power (by say a 5v wall-wart). I...

also, check the IDE cable. I had a bad cable that did this that had a bad ground/signal wire that vibration caused it to open causing issues. Including data corruption and frequent stalls in OS X. So try replacing the drive, but I would back up your data using a different disc as the install...

I am typing this on a PowerBook 520/540 c Laptop with the following configuration: PowerBook 520c 33Mhz 68LC040 20MB RAM (RAM Double'd to 40MB) 230MB 2.5" SCSI HDD 1.44MB Floppy AAUI->Ethernet (RJ-45) adapter. External Panasonic Portable SCSI 8x Speed CD-ROM (takes 6 AA Batteries)...

The site above is down and I would love to get my powerbook 540 on the web. Can anyone re-host this, or send it to me and I will host it on my server?

When I was in school, I used to play on my PowerBook 170 in suspension (I practically lived in that room) so I would play a game called "Factory) and sim city 2 (hard to do on a black and white screen) and it was quite fun. either way, having a machine to use in suspension is nice. I picked up...

I just completed my Bose Acoustimass 5.1 SRS system. I have the Bose console, the speakers (5 speakers) and the new subwoofer. Too bad it's the Series I sub, and not the Series II I used to have. That omits digital input to allow true surround sound, but it does a very good job emulating it...

On the backside of the daughterboard there are a series of jumpers (under the SoDIMM slot) that have the jumpers labeled with numbers. it's Jumper 127 that needs to de-soldered and moved to the left (to 130) that will up it. It's a series of three pad like --x x-- x-- x-- --x x-- above...

After about 15 minutes of prep/soldering, I bumped up my Pismo to 500Mhz from 400Mhz. so the setup is: PowerBook G3 500Mhz/1MB L2 100Mhz FSB 768MB RAM (256MB lower slot, 512MB upper) 80GB 7200RPM HDD, DVD/CD-RW Slot-load optical, brand new 6500Mah battery, original G3 Pismo powerbook power...

I ended up getting a pretty much NIB Early 2008 17" MacBook Pro (non-unibody) that several people in the IRC Channel said was crap (due to the nVidia bad bumps issue) but it's been almost 2 years since i got it and it's still going strong. Machine was in excellent condition and when I got it in...

No problem. I assume you did the FireWire Target Disk Mode on another machine? if that's what you did, I guess I recalled correctly. I had to do something like that with an iBook G3 900 from a Pismo when my iBook G3's optical drive died within 3 weeks of getting the last one replaced (this is...

Keep in mind that the Pismo can boot from USB. it might be slow, but boot from a USB HDD. Also try putting the disc in the mini and putting the Mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode. I have seen optical drives from a mac in FWTDM show up in another machine as it just forwards as if it's a FireWire...

I had something similar to this happen to my friend's G5 tower (my old 1.8Ghsz DP w/ 6GB RAM and GeForce 5200) and a CUDA Reset fixed it. You might have to do that as it seems a power manager issue, rather than a software/hardware issue. The fact it comes on at all, and happens in a set pattern...

the ZIF SSDs are no longer made or rather, they are no longer used. These are IDE/ATA-based Solid State drives. They are essentially Class-5 Flash chips on a small board with an IDE controller. It's 4x 4GB Chips to equal 16. It's like having a Compact Flash (same type of chips) but it's not...

I know you took out the PRAM battery, but check the voltage. The quadra may run fine, but i recall the II** series require a fully working PRAM battery to display video. Even if it's adequate voltage for the quadra, it may not be for the II series mac

Possibly a bad RAM Expansion board? Is it when you do a lot of work or run several apps/one large app at once? The death chime could possibly be a residual effect of hitting a bad memory location and when you restart it notes the error? I am not sure what you could use to check the RAM, but...

Is your home router set to be backwards (802.11b) compatible? if it is stuck at 802.11g (54Mbps) it might not be able to see it as it won't talk to it due to the slower speed. Also, is the SSID Hidden and you don't know? Did you have to program your other machines to look for that SSID...

Or... you can use a standard DB-9 Serial Adapter with a prolific chipset, and hook it up with an adapter to DB-25, and that DB-25 serial cable to RS-422 (the small round S-Video type) and hook it up thought that. I am going to try to interface my ImageWriter with that and see how it works. It...

I have an ISO image of it. let me get that up on my server for you EDIT: This is the link. It's an image of my MacBench 4.0 CD (Yes, I own it, bought it off of eBay, it was not very cheap ($20+ shipping) as I wanted to test some stuff) Keep in mind that some of the stuff won't work unless you...
