Re: Reading a CD on a Classic II

Even the older imacs cant read burned CDs, but it varies with the exact CD type. For example I was able to read burned CDRWs on Apple CD300 drive. I have also transferred files by using a hard drive temporarily installed in the computer. Is your ibook running classic or osx? -Original Message

Re: just bought a compact mac

The mini is a bit light on video grunt for a modern mac anyway - only 32 mb video ram, non upgradable in true classic compact fashion. I wonder what other design shortcuts there are? On 12/01/2005, at 7:30 PM, Luke Brennan wrote: think itll work in a CC? It'll fit, no problem. But the CRT won

No I wont do anything to it - I guess it already has some card or suchlike added to it. I'm curious as to whether it has a HD or fan installed inside because of the sound. I'll need to grab one of my other old macs ?my classic 2 to make a startup disk for it. Can it run 6.0.2? On 01/11/20

I appreciate your help with this - however I live in Australia and our AC supply is 240V 50Hz - I gather the US boards would be set up for US supply. Or maybe theres a switch or link or something? J.S. Garrison wrote: on 6/20/04 1:54 AM, Andrew Nolan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted this
