I think a printer section in apple-history.com would be wonderful. I have an ancient Apple printer that I don't use. I'll try to find the manual for it.
As for PCI powermacs, I own a 7500/75 Power PC (a real dinosaur) and I attached a Global Village 56k external modem that draws power from the keyboard's ADB port using a Radio Shack find (back when Radio Shack sold cool stuff like that) However, when I plugged it in, my mac (running OS 8.6) froze. After killing power, OS 8.6 didn't load. I feel that connecting any hardware other than Monitors, speakers etc. is suicide with old macs unless it is Apple hardware (think: Sony, Micro$oft, Sun Microsystems...) I have seen similar occurrences. For example, while upgrading a 7500/75 with a 2 GB Seagate HDD, I realized that the Apple BIOS couldn't see it, so I'd get a sad Mac. Upon Removal of the Seagate HDD, everything was fine. Unfortunately, you easily access the Apple BIOS (there always have to be ways of messing with a BIOS) My suggestion, use the highest supported OS on a mac (download.com used to have a great mac OS upgrade, and I think it still does) and contact someone who really knows macs when upgrading other than the basics. This is my first post, so if I messed up, I'm sorry. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
