On the cheapo one I had I just cut off the extra pin with a pair of wire cutters. It worked on my Wallstreet II with an 8GB card. Tried it for a while with MacOS 9.22, then my Thinkpad T22 died so its 40GB hard disk is now in there.

Looks like someone took the case badge off of a 4400 and put it on a 7300/7500/7600.

I'm trying it with a Wallstreet II, with mixed results. A Syba adapter is being used (I'll take pictures this evening), and doesn't appear to contain any extras as far as ICs on the board. A Centon 8GB 133x CF card is being used. When it is connected, I can install MacOS 9 and MacOS X to it...

If memory serves me right there is an option under Appearance that will let you change how the arrows are displayed on the scroll bars.

I bought a IdeaPad S10 for my wife last summer. It's ok except for that damned keyboard (shift key, small keys, no dedicated F12, etc). It would be nice if the video drivers allowed for a virtual desktop like the original EEE PC I reloaded. 1024x576 is a bit small. She uses that primarily...

Could be. Currently mine is running XP. I've tried CrunchBang Statler on it with an 8GB CF drive and it was OK. I tried to run Osmos on it and it was an exercise in patience. Mines played OK on it though. Under XP I have VB.NET and C#.NET 2010 Express installed. They work, but are...

I had a Compaq D530 sitting around and gave it to a coworker. She brought her old one in so I took what I wanted out of it and will recycle the rest. 512MB RAM (PC 133) 40GB hard disk CD-ROM drive It has a video card and an old USB card in it but I don't have a need for those. Thanks to...

What he said. :)

The closest I have come is to use an 8 GB Compact Flash card with a CF-IDE adapter. For general usage it's ok, but a little slow on writes. Currently it's running CrunchBang 10 with swap disabled on a Jetway Via C7 1ghz board. While having an SSD would be nice, its a bit out of my price range...

Which 3dfx card, the Voodoo 1/2 or the Voodoo 3/4/5? If it is the Voodoo 1/2, you can just use Mac drivers for them with no flashing. If one of the others http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ has some info about them under their Video section. Scroll waaaaay down. :) The Voodoo 3 reminds me of the...

I have installed Tiger several times with a supported Mac (in my case a Sawtooth G4), then put the drive back in my Lombard without issue. It can run Tiger without changes, but the installer won't run directly on it. Doing it this way you avoid any issues with XPostFacto. The only time I used...

I found a TEAC DVW-DV11 standalone DVD duplicator at the thrift store for $30. It says as-is, but appears to be pristine - no dust on the rear fan blade or on the inside. I plugged it in and everything seemed OK. We'll see if it works once I get home.

Found mine in a Quadra 800's CD-ROM tray that I bought from a booth at the Raleigh Flea Market Mall that was once property of SAS.

Found one at a local thrift store with the power supply and assembly manual for $10. Took me a while to figure out how to open it. EDIT: Would be nice to get a Mac Mini to go along with it. Hint, Hint. :)

Mine is the education version too. I'm not planning to use it for profit so I'm using it for education. :)

I stopped by the thrift store after work and surprisingly found some Mac software. Roxio Toast 5 Titanium boxed for $4.99. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 boxed for $14.99.

Mine has two slots. Currently one has a 256MB stick, and the other has a 128MB. It has a 300mhz processor board. Let me know if you need pictures of the part.

Could be. It's not in the greatest shape and appears to have had a rough life. Strangely enough the MacOS 9 install disc worked. I do have a USB PC Card and an external CD-RW drive I can try.

So far so good. Everything appears to work except the DVD-ROM drive does not like some CDs. I tried to put the original pressed disc for Power Pete in to install and an icon never appeared on the desktop for the disk. Any ideas? Does it need cleaning?

Not yet. Thanks for reminding me...
