(PS, NE)" To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: Flaky iBook Ethernet Port We have a 300MHz iBook with an ethernet port that seems to have a bad connection. If you stick an RJ-45 plug in there and wiggle it, the connection can be intermittently made. But if you let go, the connection is lost. Unfortunately it was an Apple refurb with 90 warranty so I'm wondering if anybody can offer some advice as to what the probem might be and what we're in for to get it fixed? Thanks, Alan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 14:41:00 -0700 From: Don Chesnut and Cathy Jo Cassidy To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: hard drive in G3 I'd like to upgrade the storage on my BW G3 by adding another hard drive. While the documentation that came with the machine is rather cryptic, it sounds like I can't add another IDE drive to the 6 gig drive I already have. Is this true? What would I have to do to add one. I have a scsi card installed but the scsi drives are so much more expensive I would like to avoid that. I'll just be using it to store mp3s for my Itunes jukebox; no great transfer rates are needed. you can reply directly to me and I'll summarize if necessary. Thanks Don ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 09:45:24 -0700 From: Stephen Walker To: digest@info-mac.org Subject: New G4 Hey this might be a stupid question, but how do you record CDs and DVDs with the Superdrive on a new G4? I am familiar with Toast from my previous Mac adventures, but I haven't been able to find a similar recording software program under MAC OS X? If there is not one for OS X will Toast under Classic work?
