Re: Eudora replacement
Thank you, Jay! I've used Eudora since first getting an email account in the days of 48k modems and well before appleisp.net became themacisp.net. I'm currently using Eudora 6.2.4 on a 2009 MacBook Pro 17 and it is the main reason I have not upgraded this machine further than OS 10.6.8. I have eagerly followed threads in this group and others concerning Eudora replacements for OS 10.7 and above with great interest and am finally both eager and excited to know that someone may be willing to give re-coding Eudora a try. I would pay for a Eudora replacement, or provide a substantial sum for donationware. To hear that it would be open-source is pretty incredible and very much appreciated. If this project is to be taken on, my recommendation is that it be initiated as soon as possible.

Re: Mac Mini HDD speed
John, The 7200 RPM drives have faster seek times. There may also be a higher Bus speed and a larger buffer, making data access, transfer and use by software more rapid. So far as price, cyberguys.com has Western Digital IDE/ATA drives in 3.5 diameter. These have the 7200 RPM speed you're looking for and come in 160GB ($53), 250GB ($65) and 500GB ($85) capacities. Hope that helps! I recently got a Mac Mini PPC 1.25 with a 4200 RPM ATA 40 GB HDD. Is there an advantage to putting in a 7200 RPM ATA HDD? I know they're a little scarce but if it increases performance it's worth a try.

Re: Mac Mini HDD speed
Cyberguys also has 2.5 drives, but all of the drives in this size, IDE/ATA and SATA, are 5400 RPM. The 2.5IDE/ATA drives are Western Digital and come in 80GB ($57), 160GB ($72) and 250GB ($88) capacities. Because of the smaller diameter, it seems as though 5400 RPM on a 2.5 drive would be roughly equivalent to a 3.5 drive rotating at 7200 RPM. Bus speed and buffer size are the same for both diameters. The 7200 RPM drives have faster seek times. There may also be a higher Bus speed and a larger buffer, making data access, transfer and use by software more rapid.

Hope that helps! There are not a lot of options in the 2.5 IDE form factor, which is what the early Minis require. As there are so few offerings still available in 2.5 IDE drives, you get what you can find. OWC probably has the widest offerings. -- Bill Bunny Kuhlman -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: All NON Boot Drives are 'Locked' ???
Richard, We had the same problem with the same symptoms and the same inability to make the appropriate changes - four drives were affected. After a relatively lengthy search, we found this thread on the Apple forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1961253start=0tstart=0. The third post, the one from V.K., is the one which worked for us. Make sure you do a copy and paste on the two Terminal commands he provides. Input the first command line, enter password, and then input the second command line. All of our HDs (one internal, three external) were unlocked immediately. Hopefully this procedure will work for you, too. Hello, I've encountered a weird issue. There are little paddlelocks on most of my drives. I think it's a permissions issue of some sort I've never encountered before. My boot partition on the internal drive is fine, but the other boot partition and the user data partition won't let me access them at all. Says I don't have enough access priviledges. The same issue with my 800gig raid external drive too. I can't access or modify the 'locked' drives with drive utility when booted from an install disk either. When I do a Get Info and look at the sharing and permissions section, all the listings there have a 'custom' indicator in the popup menu. The custom indicator won't change to anything else using the popup menu either. This is very very weird. The 'ignore ownership' check box is marked in the get info window, but the orange paddlelock is also there, I had to click on it and enter my admin password to do the tasks I listed above. What the heck is going on? I'm locked out of all my software, data, data archives, software archives. I tried a reinstall (the boot drive is 'sacrificial' and the user folder is kept on the user partition. NO Help. Quite confused here.
