You can check for negative feedback using Toolhaus.

Agreed.  Burners rarely last longer than 5 years if used regularly.  I
can recommend this Samsung model as a drop-in replacement for G4 power
macs.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151176

Re: How do I send multiple separate identical emails?

[Sri Gupta]

Hi Mr. Ox,

It sounds like you want to use a Mail Merge (you "merge" a database
into an email, replacing certain fields with fields from the
database).  You can do this with Word 2004 or 2008, but only if you
use Microsoft Entourage as your mail client.  I don't believe Mac Mail
supports this but I may be wrong.  The last time I looked at it, there
was a nifty donationware program called "Serial Mail" that could add
merge functionality using applescripts.

It's not that the most up-to-date stuff has *moved* to macports,
rather, the fink devs are glacially slow at accepting updated
packages.  I submitted a package update to fink in january, and didn't
receive any comments on it until april.

I use and prefer fink because every time I switch to macports, after
about six weeks the ports database gets corrupted and forces a
reinstall of everything.  So far, haven't had a problem with the fink
backend voodoo (a custom perl script mixed with apt-get and dpkg).

Re: USB to serial??

[Sri Gupta]

You might want to look for a "GeeThree Stealth Serial Port" device.
It wouldn't work in your cube, but it should be installable into any
G4 PM.  I have one on my QS- it uses the modem connector on the logic
board to create a serial port, which works in both OS9 and OS X.  It
functions identically to the serial ports that were built in to older
macs.  It might be hard to track one down, but it's definitely the
best solution to the problem.

FPM RAM (Fast Page Mode) was named to distinguish it from regular
(Async) DRAM because you could read memory in full pages, not just one
byte at a time.  The later EDO (Enhanced Data Out) RAM basically
pipelined requests.  And all ram prior to SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
came not in DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules), but SIMMs (Single
Inline Memory Modules).  S/DIMM refers to the packaging module with
edge connector- back before modules, you had to install RAM as
socketed chips..

Re: dvd's but no cd's? what's up with that?

[Sri Gupta]

I had a similar problem with the Apple Superdrive that came with my
QS- it would read silver (pressed) DVDs and CDs, would refuse to read
burned DVDs, or burn blank DVDs.  It would burn and read CDs just
fine, it just had trouble with DVDs.  I think the lasers on the old
optical drives just wear out after a while.

I replaced it with the following $25 samsung drive (SH-S222L), which I
believe was used by apple in later G5 models.  It works great in
Leopard.

I saw this card at newegg for $19:

It has a Silicon Image 3512 chipset, but I haven't been able to find
OS X drivers for it.  On their website they only have drivers for the
3124 chipset.

Re: MDD or Quicksilver?

[Sri Gupta]

Hi Dave,

I got this USB2 card from amazon, for less than $10.  It works great
on my Dual G4 QS 2002- I've used external hard drives and ipods with
it, with no problems.  Don't plug your keyboard or mouse into it
though, or else you'll have trouble waking it up from sleep mode.
Apparently OS X disables the card when it goes into sleep mode, and re
enables it after waking up, so it doesn't monitor devices for wakeup
signals.  Use the motherboard USB port for the keyboard.

It's unsupported, but intel macs will boot from an APM volume.  If you

Hi Baha,

If you boot OS X (and a 400 mhz pismo should boot up to tiger without
any trouble), you will need a USB bluetooth adapter to use a bluetooth
keyboard and mouse.  There are many compatible adapters available; a
site specializing in mac hardwire like other world will tell you about
compatibility (which is something you'll have trouble finding out at
best buy :/)

For wireless, you can use an original airport card (fits internally
into your pismo) or a PCMCIA card (a newer card, fits into the PCMCIA
expansion slot, will usually have an antenna sticking out the side).
An original airport card would be limited to 802.11b, or 11 mbps, but
if you get a PCMCIA card you can get one compatible with airport
extreme (802.11g @ 54mbps or 802.11n @ 300mbps).  This is one of those
things you'll just have to research and decide what's right for you.
Sonnet sells a PCMCIA card that's guaranteed to be compatible,
macsense used to make one, and other world has a couple (I think).

You might have trouble with divx (and other advanced video codecs).  I
know on my 800mhz g3 ibook, I couldn't watch divx movies unless they
were the size of a postage stamp.  The codecs haven't been optimized
for G3 processors (video processing runs much faster with altivec) and
the G3 just doesn't have enough horsepower to keep up with divx or mp4
AVC.  (DVDs should be completely playable, since they use the older
mpeg-2 codec, which doesn't require as much processing to decode.)

There's also a group for G3 powerbooks and ibooks you might want to
check out, it's g-books (http://groups.google.com/group/g-books).

Re: G4 Quicksilver question

[Sri Gupta]

Note that the QS won't support a G4 pulled from a MDD system, you need
to look for a G4 pulled specifically from a QS or earlier (or an
upgrade card, but for the most part I find them overpriced; you can
buy a 1.6ghz G4 upgrade card for $199, or a dual G4 1.25 ghz MDD off
ebay for $209...)

Check the lemswap group, that's been my best source for cheap
upgrades.

If it's wired, share the folder over the network.  Even with overhead,
AFP should be faster than USB 1.0.  Or get a firewire drive ;)

Also, Other World Computing has a 4-port USB 2.0 card for $22.
Compatible with all G4 Powermacs.

Hi John,

Safari ClickToFlash (http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/) has a
setting to play the original youtube H264 videos using the quicktime
plugin, instead of loading the flash player control.  This runs a hell
of a lot faster than Flash.
