Can't mount remote HD's

Hello All, I have an eMac (OS 10.4.11, 1 GB) with a large capacity external HD. It talks to my NetGear wireless router via Airport Extreme. I had a G4 Sawtooth (OS 10.4.11, 1.5 GB, Sonnet 1.3GHz dual proc). It talks to my NetGear router via cat-5 cable. Whenever I need files from the eMac's HD

Re: New internal hard drive for Power Mac G4

Thank you, Clark. They can work with drives larger than 128Gb but only up to a size of 128Gb (without patches). So a 160 GB hard drive compatible in other respects would at least work (and be seen as a 128 GB HD) in a Sawtooth Power Mac G4? Or get a (somewhat) newer PowerMac that does sup

ipod(s) version 4 onwards require 10.5 , so there is no way round the registration, also the ipods software will not be up-to-date to use with 10.4 and cannot be updated manually. You will need 10.5 on the ac to complete n use or try in find a older ipod say on eBay to use it. There are specs in
