Re: QuadDoubler

Dear Quadraphiles: Sorry I'm coming late to this party, but this time of year is pretty busy for us clergy-types, so I've been behind on my e-mail. The pickle alluded to my experience with QuadDoublers yesterday when he wrote: If it has its own clock generator (where's Rob Johanssen when you

Replacement fan for HD case

2002-10-28 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Dear Quadrphiles: I am looking for a replacement fan for an external hard drive case. The existing fan is making some vibrating noises indicative that the bearings are going. Also, I'd like to get a fan that will move more air, as this case has a Barracuda in it and runs on the hot side. The

CD burning on a Q950

2002-08-12 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Dear quadraphiles: I just acquired an HP 9600 external SCSI CD-RW. I got it on eBay for what I thought was a good deal. It came with the cables, but no software. What do I need to make this work? I'd like to burn using my Q950 under OS 8.1, as well as be able to hook it up to one of my newer

Re: Networking over a LAN; sharing files and printers

Quadraphiles: The pickle sagely opined at 14:10 today: Install LocalTalk Bridge on the 950 and you should be OK, but the LocalTalked Macs won't be able to get on-line via TCP/IP without extra software or a MacIP router. No, that was *in*correctly pointed out to be irrelevant. It's the

Lettering on a custom painted Quadra

2002-05-25 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Hello Quadraphiles: I am considering giving my beloved Q950 a custom paint job (jet black) when it becomes my UberServer. I've read enough about other custom paint jobs to know what paints to use, etc. But does anyone know of or has anyone come up with a solution for re-labeling the Mac?

Quadraphiles: If my Q950 has hung or frozen (like it does so frequently with Netscape), it won't re-boot with the three-fingered salute, either. Pax, Rob Johansen -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A |

Browser performance in overclocked Quadras?

2002-05-13 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Dear Quadraphiles: I am currently experimenting with a Newer Tech Overdrive 50 mHz CPU upgrade for my Q 950. I am running OS 7.6.1, with 196 MB RAM. I got this gadget on eBay, unfortunately the seller had no documentation for the gadget. The Overdrive strongly resembles a Sonnet QuadDoubler: it

Re: speed of iCab (was Browser performance on overclocked Quadras)

2002-05-13 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Quadraphiles: Quoth the pickle: Are you using iCab on a dialup or broadband? I had my first experience with iCab on a 68K coupled with broadband (on a C650, without an accelerator) two days ago. It's quite literally almost as fast as a PII-266 Dell laptop that I was competing against. I

Virus transmission and protection?

2002-05-10 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Dear Quadraphiles: I hadn't really given much attention to the issue of viruses and protecting myself from them until recently. I figured as a Mac user, on a network behind a firewall, I was immune to the plethora of Windows viruses out there. But recently I sent an e-mail, from my Mac (Q

Source for Hard drive mounting screws?

2002-03-19 Thread Robert J. Johansen
Dear quadraphiles: Does anyone know of a source I could get the unusual size screws used to mount most hard drives in their brackets? I believe these screws are called 6-32 UNC. No hardware stores seem to stock them, and the nitwits at the local computer stores didn't even seem to know what I
