Just got a new 6400. Mostly stock, but wow, lots faster than I expected, coming from a 6200. I have been to the 6400 zone, but I am looking for quick succinct answers here:
I am under the impression that there is in the top of the 6400 a secret chamber where one can put a 2nd hard drive or some other device. If so, is it an ide bus, or, as I have been guessing, a scsi? If a cd-rw, say, could go up there, how would one modify the case to allow for cd insertion? If it is just for an internal HD, does the machine run a lot faster or less well with the extra burden? How many total additional internal devices can be put inside the 6400 besides the internal cd-rom, hd and floppy? Also, the stock processor feels pretty fast to me running 8.6. What am I really missing if I keep it stock insstead of dropping $75+ on a g3 card? I have very limited experience with OS 9 and/or X. I guess given the memory limitations OS 9 is really the limit. But I prefer the auto-resize box of 8.6 to what I have used in 9/X. I am constantly opening documents of various types, fonts, layout, and I want the mac to resize it it to fit the screen with one click. In X it seems like all you can do in one click is close, maximize or send it to the dock. Finally, if I am running 8.6, do I still need the separate Carbon extension and the libmoto? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
