I don't have a USB CD-ROM. :( I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible. I don't mind tearing them apart. I've had to take the 500 apart a few times to take out the dead CD-ROM. It was a pain in the butt... Do you happen to know if the 333s have the slim notebook-style ide drives that...

Is it possible to use a tray-loading CD-ROM in a slot-loading iMac? This would only be temporary, long enough to get an OS onto the hard drive and that is it. It doesn't even need to fit in the case. I could just leave the machine half open while it installs. I ask because I have a slot-load...

What is it with people being so avoidant when I ask questions about upgrading? I wanted to do a processor upgrade on a Dell once and I had people in the Dell forums telling me to throw my computer away. I want a video card that works. That's all. I don't understand why everyone is so concerned...

There's not much point now really, since it's all done and over with. I'll keep that in mind though if I'm ever in this situation again.

I can't understand that site for the life of me. Everytime I search for info on the 6400 I end up there only to read through 30 pages of text to find out that something might work, or that it worked for some guy far off in a parallel dimension once. I just want to know what people here are...

I'm going to anyway.

What are some high end video cards I can run in a 6400? Specs? And does anyone have pictures of these cards?

I named this drive Pepito, and in the end, it really did end up being the spawn of Satan. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squee#Pepito for details) It took 32 hours to move 11gb of data off the drive. The entire time, my system was nearly comatose. I couldn't even use Adium. At least it...

The CD-ROM is on the ATA33 bus. I tried half a dozen different jumper configurations, including master/slave, and cable select on both drives. I tried moving the secondary drive to the ATA100 with the primary drive, with no change other than that it locks up BOTH drives now. Tried a spare...

My machine is a PM G4, 2GB ram, Dual 1.44ghz, FW800. ATA/66 - Maxtor 5400rpm, 20gb less than 2mb cache (secondary) ATA/100 - Hitachi 7200, 120gb 8mb cache (main) A question for now: I'm having an issue with my secondary hard drive. Whenever I try to open ANYTHING off of it, even a small JPG...

FFVII. I recently played it again after a few years when I realized I could play the PSX disc on my Mac with PCSX. It looks way prettier on a good-quality CRT.

It was a good year for me too! Not as many as some of you, but my collection nearly doubled. Craigslist: PM G3 266 (free) 7600/132 (free) 25 sticks of PC100-133 ($27) Freecycle: Performa 6116cd (free) Performa 6400 ($25) various monitors and printers (bleh) Roadside: iMac G3/500 indigo...

Oh, alright. I got it now. I was thinking that there would be an actual "control panel" folder like on some newer OSes and I was going nuts trying to find it. Simply moving the After Dark program file to a different location disabled it. And now that it has started up in regular mode, my...

I can't even locate the control panel folder. :O I'm on 6.0.3 Even if I set the background, time, date, etc in the control panel and then switch to another window, when I come back to the control panel, everything is the same... except the background. It won't even accept the change.

Nevermind, booting from rom worked, I just wasn't pressing the key combo quick enough. (I couldn't reach all the keys with one hand.) I don't know how to get After Dark to not launch on startup though, other than deleting it. Any ideas? I noticed it was set in Special>Set Startup... So I...

I tried that also, just a moment ago. Doesn't work. I was hoping it wouldn't come to reinstalling the OS, since I like to look around and see what's on the drives before I wipe them. I know there is a key combo that works... I wish I could remember it.

I forgot to mention that I tried this already. I even tried it with a separate keyboard thinking that maybe the shift key was stuck, but for some reason the After Dark extension continues to load.

I have a Mac Classic that, on startup, immediately goes to an After Dark screen saver (the fish one) that is password protected. Is there a way to get around this? I remember a few years ago I got around it with a key combination on startup, but I don't remember what that was. I believe it is...

That laptop sounds cool! :)

I nominate this as "most confusing Craigslist ad ever". Free? No. $80! No, wait. $100!
