Clamshells Dalmation Query
Hi there, I hope someone here can help me. I have a few iMac questions, ideas. I also hope I'm in the correct place, as did search first.. and saw a mention of tangerine clamshells from a while back, but still if I'm in the wrong place, I apologize. I purchased two of the iMac clamshells over on eBay a while ago. One is the first run of them, a turquoise machine, and the other is tangerine which IIRC is a newer version. One has a working, semi working battery, one does not. No matter, we use them hardwired in for the kids to fool around with. I purchased some games for them, so they could play an educational game on them. This is main thing we bought them for, computer so they could get the hang of things. A bit of typing, some simple games, and some internet time on a few of the simpler websites out there, that still work for these computers. I know I can get replacement batteries for the clamshells. I'd like to be able to use a CD-ROM in both of the clamshells. One (turquoise) seems to not be liking discs. It does what my Toshiba with the busted DVD drive does.. and just hums or something, but doesn't play the CD- ROMS. So I need to get a replacement CD-ROM drive, I gather. The tangerine accepts the CD-ROM wants to play it, but needs some sort of an update. I had a Dell Laptop that I replaced the keyboard on several times.. so I know a little tiny bit about working on these things. I also replaced memory mother board in a desktop PC some years ago (1999) after lightning struck our house saved it. Is there a website somewhere, with information on what folks can do with these computers to upgrade sort out? I don't have any disks for these, so I need to know what to purchase as far as this goes. I'd also like to upgrade these as much as we possibly can, but I realize there are processor limits. Any information folks have would be wonderful. Last night, we found another Mac. It's a iMac Blue Dalmation. We left it behind, but it's something we might find again, or go back for, if it's still there. The one we saw was brand new not used much, if at all. But it did have broken links on the desktop.. files with weird names on it. Like a bunch of letters, numbers.. but not names of a file. Reminds me of defragging a computer when you could see the files actually doing the defragging, does that make sense? Do these computers get viruses? I know some about macs that there are far far less virii for them, but.. some do need protection? Are these upgradeable at all? My husband is very simple with his computer usage. Email, facebook, reading news, websites, Reader Rabbit for the kids, and some youtube.com vids with the kids as well. So he'd be the one using this. He's not into gaming, downloading movies, TV watching on the computer or aything that would take more power like that. Altho he does finally have a MP3 player, which I do all the downloading charging on my pc for him with. That said, is there anything else one can do with these clamshells, other than the standard enjoyment of looking at it, if we decide to just get a newer computer? Also is there a group for the iMac Mini like this one? I saw one on eBay its adorable. I'd love to get one of those next. I know they still make them, are there anything, any hazards I should be aware of, if I buy one that is a couple years old? I like to buy things used or secondhand save them from the heap, so to speak. Oh and printers where does one find an older printer to work for on the clamshell or dalmation? This isn't a have to thing, just a passing thought. I homeschool my children since I have a PC, it might be nice for one of the Macs to have printing capabilities so I can print out what they've been practicing with typing to keep a hard copy record of it.

Re: vga
If you are running OS X there are some Hacks you can do to get the video working better. The graphics hardware on the G4 was crippled in the firmware to prevent things like dual monitors. With this hack I was able to do a second monitor with the max resolution my display would handle. It can be used for OS 9. I recommend at least performing the hack from OSX. There is a real nice utility to get the job done, or else you are typing in commands from the OpenFirmware prompt, which is risky at best. This may or may not help you, it just will give you some more options video wise to play with.

Power Mac 6100 on the internet?
I know that this is NOT the place to talk about this machine in particular, but this also has to do with my iMac. I recently found a network adapter to use with my PM 6100, and it surfs the web, not like the fastest machine out there, but like an iMac G3 but with a really old internet browser. I had enough skill to do everything manually and got it to load up some web pages like google, low end mac, and system 7 today. I am trying to use the shared folder that I setup when i setup the machine from my iMac G4 running leopard. The iMac is used to seeing many machines day in and out for networking, but for some reason cannot detect my PM 6100. I had this same problem from my sawtooth to my PM 9600 earlier, but my PM 9600 was running OS 9, I don't want to brick my PM 6100 by doing that. Right now I am running Mac OS 8.1 on the machine, and have all of the basic settings done just to run it on the web. My question is: What can i do to get my iMac G4 that is running leopard to see my PM 6100 on the network and to access it? Also, I need a way for my PM 6100 to be able to access other machines because a 500MB HDD isn't too big, and I need it to have network available storage like around 80GB that is on my downstairs eMac. Any suggestions? Software? Anything? -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
