Would it be advisable to create a dual boot environment of osx and os9 by installing each one on a separate hard disk set up as master and slave, then select the boot up disk by pressing the "Option" key during startup? Would this corrupt the PRAM or system integrity of either os in the long...

I'm trying to install a HD from my old G4 (the HD is only about 1-1.5 years old) into the 2nd bay on my new G5, but the connections are different. The HD is a serial ATA maxtor, which takes a multi-pin connector plug (in the G4, this was on a wide ribbon cable), about a 20-pin. The G5 appears to...

My iBook's hard disk, 5.5 GB, is just not big enough. I have all the Fink packages I want installed, and a few light application (I can't even install Office X because of space, relegated to AppleWorks), and I only have 700 MB free. I was wondering, from your combined experience, if I should...

Building templates to a MT based system , I just started getting a 500 Internal Server Error the other day. I have no idea what could be causing it (other then the general notion that it is perl) and haven't been able to fix it. Here are a few info snippets: and I'm running perl 5.6.0 and...

I want to put a nice new hard drive in my quicksilver 733 (from July 01). What is the absolute best hard drive out there that I could put in it? Not necessarily the biggest, I'm talking like best brand/seek time/reliable HD about there. Right now my guess is IBM Deskstar, but I'm not sure if all...

Hi All, I'm looking forward to Panther, esp. the built-in fax feature. Questions 1) If I want my mac to handle incoming remote access calls as well as faxes, is it likely Panther will be able to hande both? 2) Is it likely Panther will be able to accept faxes through the Airport...

Hi all, I have an external firewire Que! cd-rw drive that I'd like to take out of its case and install in my home-brew pc. The case is semi-transparent, and I can see that the drive itself is connected to a firewire adapter within the case, so I suspect I could open the case, unplug the drive...

Hi, following MacWorld's guide I have replaced the internal HD (replaced a 20 Gb drive with a 60 Gb one) of my iMac 450 slot-in. Apparently, the disk swap went fine, since the Apple Hardware Test (the full one) runs correctly. However, neither my Jaguar install CD nor my apple Recovery CDs...

I have a 677MHz G4. I'm pretty hapy with it, but have one major thing that I don't like about it: I can't watch DVDs and the CD-RW drive runs at 8x. I was wondering if anyone had any luck in getting an internal DVD/CD-RW drive to work with iTunes and the Apple DVD player? Thanks.
