Firewire and USB External optical drive case
Hello, I am looking for an external dvd drive case which has firewire and USB. so i can use it on my mac and PC (firewire port less). In 3 months of checking ebay.co.uk i have only seen one turn up. Has firewire disappeared over in the states as it seems to have over here? Do any specialist mac dealers still sell them? thanks for your time Martin N Mac Mini, Moderator of MiniDisc,amithlonopen,bwfc Yahoogroups -- 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: External HD / Firewire problem with Mac G4 Cube
Diskwarrior has frequently rescued a disk for me in similar situations ; recently a 2TB drive which became unrepairable by OS X utilities it built a read only directory which enabled me to pull off a TB of vital information before I had to reformat the disk!

Transition Manager
I have acquired a G5. In reading about it I have stumbled onto something called Transition Manager. From what I understand this program is supposed to transfer all of your settings from your old Mac to your new Mac. Supposedly, it will transfer programs, too. Does anyone have experience with this? I have some software that came installed on my old DA G4 that I don't have the original discs. I think they are all OS X Power PC software. Will these transfer to the G5? I have also become aware of a patch that will modify the Rom on a G% so it will run OS 9. Does anyone know anything about this. Is this worth messing with? Finally, I bought an UPS, and happily it has already paid for itself. I had one of those winking on an off power surges like the one that blew out the power supply to my DA G4 last year. My DA went through this untouched. However, the G5 seems to suck too much power for this thing. It came with an 80gig HD and it seemed to run OK. I got a 400gig HD for it and once I tried doing more involved stuff with it the UPS shut down. The UPS isn't all that big, 425 watts, I think. How big an UPS do I need need for the G5 and a 23 inch flatscreen?

Re: Can you Burn DVD/CDs on PowerMac G3 400MHz?
I suppose everything has a price at which it will sell, but I'd recommend a G4 as the lowest level Mac worth buying. The 1.25 GHz MDD G4 are going for $150 or less and if I may say, are the sweet spot for MIPS/$ when it comes to old Macs. It will run Leopard fairly well, and I still use mine for digitizing video (via an external digitizer thru firewire). To directly answer the question, yes, the G3 burns just fine.

Is the G3 sufficient? - Browsing: yes and no. On heavy sites, or full with scripts and the like, it will be slw. If you have patience, it's ok. ;-) (heck, I often found my G4 1,4 GHz slow while browsing - now with the G5 2,7 GHz it's fine) - Word Processor and Excel: ok, maybe somehow slow on long/big docs. - CD/DVD burning: ok (with the limit aforementioned, not at the max possible speed) - Photo editing: it depends on how big your pictures are. If they are in the range of a common digital camera, it's ok (e.g.: a 5-10MB picture is ok, a 100MB file would be slow) - Games: that's the problem. If you mean older games from the 1990s, or 2D, it might do (especially with a good graphic card). If you mean newer 3D games, not really. 3D games are the heaviest apps, performance-wise. Keep in mind the old built-in graphic cards G3 and G4 had (like Ati Rage or the like), had abysmal performance in gaming.

Re: Can you Burn DVD/CDs on PowerMac G3 400MHz?
It'll do what you ask provided you have the software. If you're thinking of making DVDs with a camcorder then it'd technically do it but you'd be looking at days to render a full length video. And that's with regular video, you'd grow old waiting for it to render HD video Unless it's a local ebay item that you can pick up I'd think that the cost of buying and shipping it would be more than it's worth.
