All wrong information. In the G5 specifications it states Toslin is input and output. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/PowerMacG5_(Early_2005)_UserGuide.pdf Later machines don't change. What you will need is a box to convert Toslink to SPDIF. Toslink is nothing more than SPDIF over...

Hi, You have to use Virtual PC or the new PocketMac Pro software. I've been using Virtual PC. Tech

Hi, I like the iPaq. I know it has M$soft OS but it is definitely better (IMHO) than the Palm stuff. Check at costco they had the 3635 pretty cheap. tech

Hi, An update. Epson quietly released drivers for network printers. The driver I found for my 850Ne work great. I think Epson should have given more information on printer support fo OS X. I'm suprised that they have been silent after the release of the network printer drivers. Oh...

Hi, I just did a google search and found that Epson just posted OS X drivers for my 850Ne. They don't have drivers for the 850 since it used a serial connection. They also don't support the 850 upgraded with a certain type of old ethernet card. Now, I don't know if they actually...

Hi, Where did you get a hacked driver?

Hi, So, if you can, explain what the heck is going on? The system boots normally and everything works correctly except that my firewire drive is not available. So is there a corrupted driver/extension in /System/Library/Extensions? It doesn't make sense to format my system drive...

Hi, I have a firewire drive that all of a sudden is no longer available to OS X. OS 9 sees the drive with no problems. It happened all of a sudden. I tried re-formatting the drive with no luck. It just doesn't get recognized. I look in the system profiler and the firewire device is...

Hi, Yes there is such a thing. The Pioneer A03 (Superdrive) in a firewire case. tech

Hi, I contacted iProof Systems, the company that makes a RIP for Epson and other inkjet printers. http://www.iproofsystems.com/ They plan to release a RIP that runs under OS X that supports various Epson printers. They claim release in March sometime. I have an 850Ne that I like and I...
