Firewire Question

I just got an external CD writer with a firewire (400) connection. I got it for the firewire, not for the CD, so I opened it up and installed a hard drive in place of the CD drive, and set the jumper to master, which was how the CD drive was set. The CD worked all right, but the hard drive doesn'

Re: I've heard of the silenX fan but...

You probably would be happy with either fan. According to the manufacturer's specs the SilenX is a little quieter (14 dBA vs 19.8 dBA) but it moves much more air (72 CFM vs 54 CFM). The OEM Delta case fan moves 152 CFM (53 dBA on high speed) so you really want to look at the airflow specs when cho

Try changing the jumpers for now...until someone else says something. By the way that approach only work sometimes. Paul wrote: > I just got an external CD writer with a firewire (400) connection. I > got it for the firewire, not for the CD, so I opened it up and > installed a hard drive in plac

I used the following option to put 9.2 on my MDD which came to me with 10.4 installed - Install 9.2 on a separate drive, then set that drive up as a slave drive in the iMac. Of course, this presupposes that the that you can put two hard drives in an iMac, a supposition about which I have no idea.

Re: background noise

The "noise" I was experiencing was a hardware issue--some interference somewhere, perhaps from a peripheral--that I heard through a speaker channel. Not sure what you mean by still "seeing" it in Final Vinyl, or "internal noise", so maybe your problem is software-related. Try reinstalling the pro

You can run OS X on a PC ( I don't know if they got leopard working yet), I still have yet to try it out since I only have one good PC that I own and that's my laptop. Also I think one reason why Macs last longer than other computers is because there user know what there doing. I'm having to go

Re: Firewire Question

I would start by seeing whether the device is detected. Does it show up in DIsk Utility? If so, can you see the disk? If you can, you may need to reformat the disk; if not play with jumpers and any other settings you can find. If it does not show up in DU, open System Profiler and look at Hardwa

Flat Screen Monitor

Hello, I have a Digital Audio G4. It has ATY,Rage128Pro for video display. It has a VGA plug on it. I am looking at getting a widescreen monitor. A Samsung T240 has piqued my interest but it has a DVI connector from what I understand. What sort of monitor should I look for in the 22 to 24 inch w

Re: Firewire Question

The drives I uses are all well under 128 GB, and they work OK if I install them internally in the G4. I'll check to see if Disk Utility and System Profiler show the drive. Ideally, I'd use this external case with drives in both Mac and PC formats. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~-

Tiger can write to NTFS drives?

I just tried this very quickly, and then went on to do other more urgent things, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I connected an external SATA hard drive that came out of a dead PC. I was about to change it to standard Mac format, and decided to see how much support Tiger (10.4.11)
