It was probably "half on" the HD (i.e., stored for potential future use).

Well, I dug out the one I had in storage. It's a MaxOptix T4-1300 which, I assume, is a Tahiti 4 drive. Unfortunately, either my Google-fu is failing or the jumpers are nowhere to be found on the net. JR

ISTR, it's some version of the Tahiti. Back in the day, we had a bunch of them in Artecon enclosures and rand them under Solaris 6 using a special driver. For later versions of Sol, I recall that we had to change a jumper so the drive identified itself as a disk drive rather than an optical...

Ask me in late May. If I get the 12" G4 I've been promised, I'd probably be looking to find a new home for mine. (500mhz, 1gb RAM, 40 gb disk) JR

Speaking of which... what is required to use a MO drive on a Mac? I have an old MaxOptix drive around here somewhere that I used a *long* time ago with a Sun. Any special jumper settings (optical vs. direct access)? JR

Unfortunately, that is not a MintPPC issue but an Xorg one. I've run into the problem with several distros and with equivalent hardware on a PC. (An old Inspiron 5000e that I have has the exact same failures.) JR

Okay, but I don't ever remember actually seeing a SCSI to TR adapter, just SCSI to Ethernet. JR

SCSI-to-TokenRing??? How the heck does that work? JR

Sounds to me like a memory issue. Have you tried swapping RAM with the other QS? Last resort would be swapping CPU cards to rule out a cache issue.

Any USB keyboards/mice? I've got a PowerLogix G3/350 that would go nice in your 8500. :-) JR

Yes. A well used-one would have the silver worn off where the user's hands rested on the case, just below the keyboard.

I found it and it would still do you more good than me, so if you want it, PM me you address and you can have it for shipping. JR

What size screen? I *think* I have a spare 14"" bare LCD around here somewhere that you could have for shipping and consideration. JR

I did and it does. With 10.0.1, it looks just like it should. JR

I don't know... I didn't install the extension until yesterday. JR P.S. IT seems to effect the G3, too, as I see the problem on my Pismo.

Odd, I only have two on my MDD, but they both have gravity toward the upper left corner. (As opposed to my MacBook with Firefox 10 where they gravitate toward the center of the screen. Could this be some video card difference? My MDD has a Radeon 9000 pro. JR

Any idea why the Collusion extension doesn't work correctly? More specifically, it works but all the bubbles are pushed off to the left side of the screen. It's almost as if there is a coordinate translation issue (screen origin in center vs. side). JR

I was pleasantly surprised to recently learn that items sent to our county's e-recycling center go to Goodwill. Now if I could just figure out where the nearest Goodwill Computerwerks is. JR

Ah, but my wife would be upset with me adding rather than subtracting. You really need to find someone else for the IBM. Please. These days, I prefer my karma in small pieces- odd USB devices, interesting PCI cards, maybe the odd bit of usable RAM (really need to find some more PC2700 one of...

The usual warnings apply here: 1) Get a rev.2 (or a Yikes!) if you want to use IDE drives. 2) Be wary of installing an OEM Apple G4 into a rev. 1 B&W. (MY experience, ymmv) Raw speed is about the same at the same Ghz. You see the difference if/when you hit a piece of software which is...
