Actually, the way Apple implements RAID, even a mirror is faster than a single drive... at least on the Xserve (just not sure about on other systems). On the Xserve, when a mirrored RAID writes at essentially the same speed as a single drive. But when it reads, it has two drives to read from...

Nope... at least not on the OS 9 machine I'm using now. Strange thing is that this machine used to be able to do it no problem. I'd just type a word, and off it would go to the .com instance of that word. Right now it's doing something even different than either working or not working... If I...

On some Macs I can do this and on others I can't, and I don't know what controls it. On some Macs, in Explorer or Netscape, I can type something like "macosx" in the Address field, and it auto-expands to "http://www.macosx.com/". But on other Macs, I just get a "server not found" error...

Thanks. So... wanna buy a CD burner? :mad:

The manual for BBEdit has all the GREP rules. \b is a border between a word and a non-word. \w is any word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, and some 8-bit characters) So I believe you want to use this: \b\w\w\w\w\b If that ain't right, then read the PDF manual for BBEdit.

Hi, all. I have a CD Cyclone 24x firewire CD burner. Works great when it works, but... it does NOT work with Retrospect and apparently never will. I talked to the folks at Cyclone, and they told me that they have NO PLANS to talk to Dantz about ever making any of their products compatible...

Pretty much everything you can want to know about Mac job listings can be found here: http://lists.mac-mgrs.org:81/Lists/mac-mgrs/Message/11378.html (this is also mirrored here: http://home.inreach.com/rhowehmd/MMJobDigests/howtofindmacjob.html) and employers should look here...

Well the good news is that MT-Newswatcher for OS X was just released! The bad news is that I still don't understand what is causing this problem. I'm guessing that OS X only allows Classic to communicate on certain TCP ports. I would further guess that there's a way of allowing additional...

Thanks, Ed. I suppose I will try an OS X news reader, but I really do like Newswatcher, and I know an OS X version is coming eventually. But I'm concerned that this problem might point to a deeper problem in my system... or to a bug in OS X. I would really like to know which one it is....

So does everyone have this problem? Can you communicate with news servers or IMAP servers using calssic apps in OS X 10.1.2?

Hi. I'm having some strange issues with Classic Apps running under OS X. They all work perfectly if I boot under OS 9. Outlook Express 5.0.3 works perfectly with my POP accounts, but does not work with IMAP accounts. It will get a count of the number of messages in a mailbox, but will then just...

Apparently, the title of this post should have been "I'm a friggin' idiot, please help!" So... when I first set up my two new hard drives, I only had one SCSI cable, so I had to change the SCSI ID on one drive. The Seagate web page showing the jumper positions was kinda confusing, and I ended...

Yep. I upgraded the firmware on the card (in OS 9), and installed the latest OS X driver. Adaptec claims "full support under Mac OS X 10.1." :confused:

Whoops, sorry. I meant 10.1.2, not ..3.

Hi. I'm trying to set up a mirroring RAID using 10.1, and am having serious problems. I am using an Adaptec 39160 Ultra 160 SCSI card (with firmware update and latest OS X driver) and two Seagate 15000 rpm Ultra 160 Cheetah drives (each with unique SCSI IDs). The computer is a dual G4/533, with...
