Re: Need help with OWC Mercury Elite-AL 2 Bay FW800 OX912 enclosure - 15 years ago
Should have been one master, one slave. EXCEPT.... if mixing and matching drives, especially WD drives - I've had nothing but trial and error solutions a few times. WD drives don't play nice with other brands on the same bus frequently. We used to run into that with G4 Cubes and optical drive upgrades. Glad you got it working.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: Dang! Philips DVP642 is biting the dust... - 15 years ago
Been there, fixed that. Love my DVP642, given a number as xmas gifts too. My own had the capacitor problem about a year ago. Takes 10 minutes to fix.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: Has anyone used an 8 core? - 15 years ago
Are you using CS2 or CS3? Either should be fine, definitely need more RAM than 2.5GB in a Mac Pro though. 4 is what I would set as a minimum.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: Cousin of Zoidberg's latest: dropped his MacBook - 15 years ago
Pull the internal 3 screw panel that conceals the HD, and the RAM. Pull the HD out. Reinsert it. It may have jarred loose is all (fingers crossed)by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: Is eSATA going to replace FireWire and USB? - 15 years ago
Doubtful. For one, eSATA does not provide power to devices. So bus power is out of the question. FW800 is still awesome. At the lower half of the page, compare the results: I'd prefer FW800 over eSATA for portability, and compatibility - but definitely the best of all worlds is a Quad case like I linked to above. Can take it ANYWHERE and hook up to any computer.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: WATCH IT! 32 inch Widescreen LCD HDTV - With HDMI $499 FREE SHIPPING! - 15 years ago
Big thing is finding a LCD TV that will properly display it's full resolution on a Mac. The Vizio we had in here of an employee's last week would still leave a 1" black border around the screen - and I'm a purist, I'd rather NOT have to hack the resolution to get it to display properly. A LCD TV is not good for a computer screen replacement unless you sit 5' away from the screen.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: COPY THAT! Xerox Phaser 6120/N COLOR Laser Printer $233.41 - 15 years ago
Only thing - know going in, expensive supplies. $150 for an imaging drum (20K black / 10K color life expectancy), and $140 for color / $100 for black (4K life averages). Other than that, stunning output. Saw them at MacWorld, and have been thinking about it for home. No duplexer really hurts though ($375).by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: Mac Mini fan is out of control! - 16 years ago
Run hardware test yet? Reset the SMC controller? Could be that the thermal sensor bad, or the wire in the front of the mini to the left of the remote control is not plugged in. That is exactly what the mini does when it's not plugged in. Other than that, is it still under warranty?by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: Airport Extreme/Airport Disk - OWC enclosure? - 16 years ago
Just tested our miniStack V2 on Thursday - no problems at all. So it's definitely not a combined bridge problem. FWIW we thought the docs on Apple's site were less than stellar, and have created our own- but they are in word format, will be putting them into HTML and on our site early next week. If you still can't get it working, drop me an email Monday and I'll send you a PDF of the docs aby OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: Anyone use Instapak to ship computer equipment? - 16 years ago
Works great. For a duo that is small and light though a few good layers of bubble wrap and a sturdy double wall box would be more than adequate. Instapack is more suited to heavy, dense items like desktops, towers, and monitors.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: RIP my 40gb iPod - 16 years ago
Take it apart, unplug the hard drive cable from the logic board, straighten it out, put it back. Had more than one come back to life with just doing that.by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: RAID setup - 16 years ago
You just posted your question in the other thread 3 hours ago Speed, redundant backup, or both is absolutely correct- rz's answer is spot on. Only thing is you'd be speed limited on that iMac. If you had 4 drives in a Mac Pro, I'd say RAID is a great idea. But considering you're tied to one FireWire bus in that iMac, I'd say sure to 2 drives, but not all 4. The wiki is a great source of inby OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
Re: Problem setting up RAID with OWC SATA card - 16 years ago
I've found that quitting Disk Utility and relaunching it sets things straight doing exactly what you're doing. (I think it's a bug in DU). Softraid works every time. Glad you got it working!by OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals

Re: Help me cook a steak - 16 years ago
Oh COME ON! I grilled out last night - and it was -12 here in Northern IL! Superbowl will do tha tto you I guess. If it 's a thick one, then definitely pan seared is the way to go. Get a good old black skillet - HOT HOT HOT, sear it, and lock in the flavor. Excellent technique - used it a few times, I would rub with garlic, and the Montreal Steak seasoning is fantastic stuff as wellby OWC Jamie - Tips and Deals
