Responding to the used Laser printer vs. inkjet cartridges questions/statements. A used laser printer is a great thing, if it works. If it needs a fuser (and eventually they all will) and/or a pickup roller, then at least in the short term it's not going to be cheap. But any used printer is a

Right, the fuser and pickup parts are cheap, but unless the person is able to install the parts, the cost will go WAY up...and unless a person does this kind of take apart and put back together on a regular basis, it's pretty daunting the first time. on 07/18/2002 05:06 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at

Dumpster diving, eh? Unless this is a new pastime for you, you should know that not everything one gets out of dumpsters works! (but, it's amazing how much of it does) I think a Syquest that can't recognize cartridges as unlocked is probably bad; I've had a couple like that, and gave up on them

I've recently looked at a bunch of Q605s, and none had heat sinks...hard to figure when and why heat sinks were used, as 605s are in a pretty small box, while something like a Q950 in a huge mostly empty box has a heat sink. on 05/28/2002 08:53 PM, Bob Crowell at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I

500 keyboards aren't the greatest, but I haven't found them to be intolerable. You can remove the keyboard by taking out the few screws in the bottom of the case. Once you do that, you could run it through the dishwasher if you want...although I wouldn't recommend it...but you can use water if

This could also be a video capture card. Mass Microsystems made the QuickImage capture card for NuBus Macs, which I used for capturing stills. So, the RCA jack could be IN rather than OUT. But, that's all I've got on the topic. Finding software could be difficult. - Original Message -
