I still a Logitech one with my MacBook occasionally, mostly to save space on a small desk. I've also got an old Kensington Orbit *serial* trackball in the drawer. Surprisingly, it works without additional drivers, even under Windows Vista.

Wow! Two surprises in one day... OverBite for Chrome and the fact that the IT people at $WORK actually don't block port 70 outbound. Between things like the recent takedowns of "pirate" sites and legislation like SOPA, I wonder if we won't start seeing a bit of an undernet redevelop around...

FF doesn' natively do gopher. You need Cameron's Overbite extension for FF.

The problem is that, IIRC, host CD access is broken under Leopard. Try using Disk Utility to image the XP install CD and install from that. See http://www.macwindows.com/VPC7.html#121407d. JR

I've got one of the Zip 100 Plus drives (SCSI and Parallel selectable) that I could part with easily. That would still leave me a SCSI 100, USB Zips in all three sizes, a SCSI 250, and ATAPI 250s in anything that will take one (including modules for the Pismo and the Inspiron). So, yeah... I can...

Quoting from the Linux Zip Drive mini-HOWTO:

There was also the somewhat infamous Zip 100 Plus drive which was both parallel and SCSI compatible. (Tidbit: Parallel port Zip drives are actually SCSI devices with a Parallel-to-SCSI converter. The 100 Plus was just smart enough to know when to get the converter out of the way.) IIRC, it was...

Funny, I always saw sucking hot air into the PS and venting it out the back as the norm. What surprises me, though is that the fans seem on the wrong end (i.e., you don't so much suck hot air out the P/S as push it through the P/S). I was also greatly suprised to see that the portholes in the...

No, he's talking about the big fan which blows across the CPU heatsink. That's the variable rate one. You can poke around the reports on Xlr8yourmac.com and you should find specific recommendations.

It's worth the time to do some Googling about solutions to the fan noise. The usual suggestions involve various fan swaps; a common one is apparently to replace the large temperature-controlled fan (the variable rate you are hearing) with a constant speed one. I also found an interesting...

Somewhere around here I have an original Airport with similar symptoms. In my case, the card is definately detected by OS 9, X, and Linux. It actually seems to work for a short time after power-on, then goes effectively deaf. At that point, Tiger and Leopard both tell me that the card is off...

They were a conditioning charger at a time when that wasn't too common for a laptop charger. Much more intelligent than the norm. Back when I was using mine, I had acquired one of those super-dead Type 3 batteries that would crash a Duo if you put them in the same room. It initially pulled a...

Honestly, I have no idea of the value of a Lind SuperCharger II these days. Back when there were more Duos out there, it was sought after. Now, I suspect it is an oddity to all but a serious collector or Duo fanatic. (Looks around) Never had one. The best I ever had was a SCSI dock and a Sonic...

The Type3 battery is definately different *somehow* from the earlier ones. You take your basic Dead-as-a-Doornail Type1 or Type2 and put in in your Duo. No problem... just no battery life. The Type3, though, had this ability to be discharged so low that when you put it in a Duo, it would...

The most comprehensive information I could find was at http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14077.

I'll go on a limb and say that it looks like the 5's and the 10 all have some variant of the GX framebuffer, which was Sun's workhorse 8-bit card. Based on the screenshot, the SS2 has the early two-slot version. What's the deal with the SS10 that makes it beyond help? You should be able to use...

So, I recently traded my spare Pismo to BGoins12 for an MDD without a power supply. Over the weekend, I put a post on the LEM swap list looking for one. Disappointed with a lack of responses, I decided to hit up ebay for a power supply. Two hours after buying one on ebay, I get an email...

It's not the frame buffer, per se, but the VRAM. Working from memory... The last two memory slots can take either a) video ram, B) regular memory, or c) a special NFS accelerator card. The idea is that you could max out the ram to 512mb (8x64) and run with a serial console or install VRAM...

Okay, I'm confused... in the first pic, the SS20 had 96mb RAM. I sent you 128mb, but now it has 128mb. So what happened to the original 96mb? Did you move it to one of the other boxes or is something not showing up? JR

If you can find a low-end 10/100 card based on the Realtek 8139 series, the Mac drivers are here. Is there a specific reason that you want a PCI card as opposed to a CommSlot 2 card?
