I'm in the process of getting my "new" Rev A B&W G3/300 up & running. I installed the HDs from my problematic (OK, dysfunctional) 9600... they seem to work OK, and are recognized; the 36gb is set-up as startup disc.
I have installed a Zip 250 drive, which opens and copies Zip 100 discs just fine. I am about to install a new Pioneer DVR-107D "superdrive" CD/DVD-RWjust in from OWC.
Now, both of my printers are serial... Apple LaserWriter Pro 630 and HP 4MP. I want to run one of these connected to both my 6116/G3 and the B&W, using a switch box. How can I connect it to the B&W... is there a suitable adaptor available?
Griffin makes a serial port add-in, you can use a USB-Serial (or in the case of the HP) USB - Parallel adapter. Keyspan makes the serial ones, and they have two ports, so you could probably hook up both printers, and I know Belkin makes the parallel one, since we have a couple of those here.
I have an Iogear GIC220OU-B10 USB 2.0 card; is it possible to use this on the B&W, or does it have to be a USB 1.1 card? (I have a generic Dick Smith item, but it refused to work on the 9600, though it appeared in the System Profiler, and now I can't FIND the damn thing).
It should work, but not as USB 2.0 unless Panther is installed, and I'm not even sure about that.
Finally, is there a good wireless mouse available to work with the B&W? I haven't actually seen one of these yet... how do they work? There must be a plug-in device in the CPU needed... a PCI card perhaps?
Wireless mice generally have a transciever that plugs into a USB port to get the signals from the mouse. Logitech makes good wireless mice.
Note, you're getting many USB devices, get a USB hub ;-)
