Re: Lost Ethernet port

Re: Finally Figured Out My Beige G3

[admin]

Fun times.  I think I did every possible upgrade. Max RAM 768, max  
VRAM, then video card, upgraded processor, upgraded ROM chip, USB- 
Firewire card, ATA PCI card, upgraded optical drive.  What an  
outstanding design and construction.  It wouldn't hurt Apple to offer  
a mini-tower more affordable than the Mac Pro.  Enjoy.

Re: Intel Mac & PPC apps

This has been part of the genius of Apple.  68K under PPC; Classic  
under OS X.  Sad to see this all go.  I'm not too cheap to buy a new  
machine.  Have way more invested in older ones and multiple external  
boot drives, which provide redundancy and a lot more functionality.   
Always amazes me with "typical" consumer that has one PC and only one  
hard-drive partition.  In a pinch, I've gone back to a Powerbook 180  
and was able to do word processing well  Someone who went Rip Van

Good luck.  I have a 2930 working fine on my QS2002.  IF the download  
doesn't work; e-mail me off forum for the dmg file.  I was able to  
connect a 68-50 down-pinned SCSI drive to the board; clone a Leopard  
boot system to the drive with CCC and boot the computer from the SCSI  
drive.  I was impressed.  This is what makes the Mac so great and I  
hope we never lose this flexibility-like having to ask permission some  
time in the future to install system software.  Someone who had used a  
Mac Plus, LCII, then feel asleep for a couple decades could use the  
latest Mac and feel at home!

I like this model a lot.  The Zip drive, if still there, and Zip CAGE

But are the operating system (reaching 64-bit) and computers really  
changing much any more?  They both seem to have matured to me.

Re: Apple inside?

[admin]

With Lion king of the jungle, maybe, it's on to OS XI and another  
animal after this! OS X has steadily matured but I sure don't consider  
that 7 or 8 "systems" have been presented.  Tiger seems to be the  
maturing high point of a steady series of incremental improvements and  
tinkering.

I fear that a  System Software install will eventually have to be

That simple computer mouse (albeit with ever greater optical DPI, etc  
and much ingenuity behind it's apparent simplicity) is one of the  
greatest proprioceptive and information processing means ever devised  
by the mind of man.  It has to be thousands of times more precise—and  
even quicker—than flashing our finger in front of our face to work  
with a computer.  Never fear, I can bring my LCII out of mothballs.   
Remind also how the design world has gone overboard with graphics and  
icons-TEXT in the forms of letters is also an outstanding VISUAL  
information mechanism.

Re: VGA video card for Power Mac G3?

[admin]

Heather, great suggestion.  That's what I have in my Beige G3. Also,  
an inexpensive Firewire/USB 2.0 PCI card would make that Beige G3  
quite workable.  I used a fully-fledged Beige G3 (max RAM, newer ROM,  
ATA PCI card, etc.) for quite a bit until recently, including OS X.

Yes.  But then Apple should make available and allow us to buy

Re: two macs plugged into the same usb hub?

Reminds of the olden days of serial switchers.  Of course, that was we

Re: USB to serial??

Back when USB was first introduced and serial ports nom longer  
included companies came out with Serial to USB adapters.  Should still  
be around.  I remember needing an ethernet interface to make something  
like a laser printer still work, but I don't think you will be  
overloading the information capacity of the link.  Good luck.

Re: Power Mac G5 – to buy or not to buy?

[admin]

Great point.  But the price jump from mini to iMac is only $500 and  
you get 2GB more RAM, a keyboard, a mouse and a 21" high quality  
display.  Eventually, I will need an Intel machine, but I believe that  
entry level Mini should be more like $450-500, not $700.

Re: Combo updating made easy?

[admin]

They used to sell those.  I did it all through Jaguar.  I recently  
bought a disk on eBay that had most of the updates for Tiger and  
Leopard, although it's already out of date in just 2-3 months.  Yes,  
we can clone systems-one of the Mac's retained advantages-but  
sometimes a clean system install is "healthier."

Re: MDD or Quicksilver?

[admin]

I vote for the Quicksilver.  It's quieter.  Runs cooler.  Take the ZIP  
cage off (comes off easily) and there is more room for running SCSI or  
SATA cables. Each can take the same graphics cards (Radeon 9000 is a  
good choice) and have same # of PCI card slots.
