    Scanning under OS X

    My Agfa SnapScan 1212u is working flawlessly with ScanWise X, scanning from GraphicConverter (plugin), to programs, PDF, or straight to my Epson 880i printer. MacOS 10.1.4

    Why can't I use my slave hard drive on OS X?

    The original drive might be set to 'cable select', which can cause you various problems when you try to put in a second drive as 'slave'... moreso in X than in 9, I'm told.

    Picture of your setup

    Thanks for the compliments! It was a little scary putting the MotoTool to it for the first cut... after that, it was hard to stop <<where's that insane laughter coming from?>>. :confused: ;) For a complete blow-by-blow, you can go here...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Thanks for the heads-up on the link. Fixed it. Like I said, it's my first website. Never saw the need while I was fixing them. I figured that if someone could get to a website, their comp wasn't broken, and I was too busy anyhow. Now I'm retired and bored, so I start messing with my own...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Sorry about that... I thought I'd won the argument about non-members and images (I'm a mod there). So... just for you... :D My first webpage ever, set up today. The Apple Doctor's QuickSilver Hack 'course, you could join there, too. Can't have enough good forums. ;) oh, almost...

    Sharing of Cable Modem between Mac & PC

    I use a Farallon FriendlyNet 3004 LC, which connects 2 Macs and a PC to the internet using a cable modem. You set the router up (using IE) to use the cable modem. The computers connect to the router using DHCP, the router uses whatever method your ISP (static IP or DHCP) uses. One account...

    "Option" key startup woes

    This problem has existed from the time I got the computer, well before any of the PCI cards or added drives were put in, let alone the hack. It just wasn't a big enough issue for me to ship back the QS I had waited so long for. I tried zapping the pram early on... as well pushing the reset on...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Uh, not the most undoable mod: :p AppleDoc's QuickSilver Hack Like I said, this would have been the likeliest suspect if the problem hadn't existed since day 1.

    "Option" key startup woes

    Yes, the 40GB hard drive has a 'virgin' OS10.1.4 on it, installed (with BSD subsystem) from an OSX 10.1 CD, and all Apple updates. No third party apps, drivers, pref panes, etc. This drive is the only place I play with Darwin at all, and when done playing I erase it and reinstall everything...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Well, it looks like I won't be shipping any RAM to Norway... ;) Booted up with one DIMM (512MB) installed... tried different DIMMS in different slots... still the same "ALLOC-MEM request too big!" message. Looks like I will have to continue to manually remove and connect drives when I...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Another good idea, but no. Not according to Sherlock, including a custom search for invisible files. The cause almost has to be hardware related, as it doesn't matter which drive is connected or disconnected, and has been occuring since the machine was new... it was just not a high-priority...

    "Option" key startup woes

    Well, I checked, and as far as anything I can find on Apple's site, I am up to date. (I thought I was... I stay on top of updates) I even tried the 4.2.8 firmware update (4.2.9 is for powerbooks), and, as I expected, was told that it was not for my machine. Valid suggestion (thanks dricci...

    "Option" key startup woes

    I know what holding down the option key during startup is supposed to do... what it does for me is slightly different. The screen with the choice of drives starts to load (ie. I see two drives... not always the same ones... to choose from), but before actually letting me choose the screen...

    You and Apple history

    I own (since new) a working Woz signature Apple IIgs, with 2 5.25" drives, 2 3.5" drives and an ImageWriter II. History: AIIe (gone), AIIc (gone), AIIgs, Mac+ (gone), Mac IIcx (gone), Mac LCIII (gone), Quadra 605 (worked when I put it in the closet), revA iMac 233 w/ 333 daughterboard...
