In the vernacular of our daughter: "Dood!" Nice to hear from you, thanks! I hear that, it's a delicate balance, and in the past few days of reading posts had many occasion to ask others about the "significant-other factor", but held my tongue. ;) It can be a touchy issue! Despite having a...

Well maybe this will get a reply... Just unpacked/repacked the 550c from the fully prepped outer shipping box for the 2nd time this week, in order to test the AC power adapter and to recheck if the power adapter would start it up with neither battery in their bays as you suggested, which proved...

Hey Man, BRAVO! I was about to reply to your previous entry (for that, see below) and mention this fact when I tripped over this last entry. Among this very esteemed crowd you ride with here, I'll also bet you're not the only one to figure it out. It's those context clues, you know. I'd love to...

Ah yes, ye olde Zip drive problem! I too, have a 3400c and 100mb Zip module and indeed it does work fine under OS 8.6 as you mentioned, - perhaps because the Iomega drivers originally accompanying that 100mb Zip module are fairly concurrent with 8.6's place in time. How well does 9.2.2 actually...

Hello again beachycove, Thanks for this great advice, it all makes very good sense, and deserves an investigation so I will check it out. I haven't ever owned any of the other 500-series,- only seen friend's machines falling apart mostly from the plastics maladies described in other posts here...

Hi beachycove, Thanks for your good advice. Yes, sorry I neglected to mention it, - that was one of the very first things I tried, multiple times, to no avail. With all these vintage Macs hanging around, you can bet I have several editions of troubleshooting guide books on the shelves as well...

Good Morning, On a tip from an eBay user regarding this forum, I come looking for advice, and just registered earlier. After roaming around for awhile, (Wow, impressive!), it looks I've come to the right place. In a way, I hesitate to jump into this sea of desire for a 550c, ;) but from the...
