Video hardware really sucks on the mac. Searching through ebay there are stacks of usb video devices but all for the PC. They could all write a driver for the mac but obviously can't be bothered. I gave up trying to find a hardware mpeg2 encoder at a reasonable price for my mac. Elgato charge...

I ran Monolingual 1.3.4 on my G3 iBook and it reclaimed 62MB of disk space. It only reclaimed 62MB of disk space because I didn't select all those other languages when I originally installed OSX so I don't know if there's much point to it really. Just don't select all those languages when...

In my experience problems like these are hardware related. It could be your hard disk failing. What I usually do is put the hard disk in a PC and do a write zeros or low level format on the hard disk and see if the hard disk is usable after that and if it's not then a new hard disk is needed...

If you want to edit a bootable PC ISO image or CD on OSX here is how to do it. Disk Utility can only mount ISO images as read only. It can also make an image of an ISO cd and can also burn an ISO image. Using hdiutil to edit PC bootable ISO images leaves the image non bootable. mkisofs can make...

And if the total size of the files is not too large you could transfer them to your new computer using email attachments.

For os9 firewire transfer to osx (panther and above) FireNet by unibrain enables firewire transfer on os9. There is a demo at http://www.adstech.com/Support/Downloads/Downloads.asp?productId=API-1394PCI&productName=PYRO%201394DV which runs for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes you can reboot and...

If I was doing it I'd just grab a cd writer and replace the cdrom in the 6500 with the cd writer and write all the files to a cd. You can also transfer the files by ethernet and also by firewire. You would have to buy a firewire pci card for the firewire transfer.

btw if you want to feel real heat on a laptop type computer you should see my ecs a928. It's a desknote which is a laptop running conventional full power (not low power) pc parts. It uses a standard 1.8ghz p4 and standard pc ddr memory. The heat it generates is unreal and you could fry an egg...

I think this might be what they are saying. Seems like the cpu (gpu) heat is not getting transferred to the heat pipes properly because of the way the thermal paste is applied and the hardware heat sensors for the fans are on the heatpipes. So the hardware heatpipe sensor is detecting lower...

Make sure you know your XP user name and password (if you have not got an XP password you will have to create one). On XP goto "Control Panel" "Network Connections" select and then right click the "1394 Connection" and choose Properties. Double Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and another...

Mac pci usb and firewire compatibility depends mainly on the chipsets being used but can also depend on how the pci card is designed. Some pci cards work in later Beige G3's but not in earlier Beige G3's for example. Also some pci cards won't work in G5's. NEC usb chips and Agere firewire...

Sounds like it was Bill Gates' dog.

I've also found out that the Apple DVD Player 1.3 is in the MacOS 9.1 update.

How about this one. How many PC users would buy a Dell computer that can run a licensed version of OSX just because of OSX. I would suspect that it would be not many. I can't see PC users flocking to the mac because of OSX. Your either a mac user or your not. I don't think most PC users...

The MacBook Pro gets hot running OSX. I think the drivers you are talking about are the power management drivers which are different to a hardware sensor that controls the internal fan. Apple knows what they are doing (in most cases) when they work out what temperature the internal fan...

I fail to see any difference between running Windows on any PC or running Windows on the Intel Macs. Apple seems not to see any difference either so they released bootcamp What sort of real damage could you do. The cpu fans are controlled by hardware heat sensing devices and stuff like...

The PC PowerColor Radeon 7000 pci works with a rom flash. Go to the Strangedogs site for details. Just google for strangedogs.

Hold down the option and command (apple) and o and f keys and keep them held while booting the mac. This gets you into openfirmware. At the command prompt type in setenv pci-probe-list fffbffff and press enter or return then type in boot and press enter or return.

This problem is known as the Beige G3 or Wallstreet Black Screen problem. It affects OSX from 10.2.8 onwards including panther and tiger. I've narrowed the problem down to the IONDRVSupport kernel extension. I've compiled a new IONDRVSupport kernel extension from the Darwin source code...

I think Steve will appear totally nude except for a party hat and a whistle and announce he's running for president.
