    Performance Suggestion:

    This is just an idea: Back in the day, when Macs only had MB of RAM rather than GB, there were techniques to increase performance speed. For example, it was possible on the Performa series to install more RAM than the Mac's System could actually address. That extra RAM was useless to...

    Windows 7 Startup Repair When Configuring Parallels for the First Time

    Round and Round... Parallels Support has been, bluntly, passing the buck on this one. I've been emailing with them for a week, and all they say is "Apple doesn't officially support Windows 7 for Boot Camp yet" : (therefore we don't support Boot Camp access either). According to the error...

    Windows 7 Boot Camp on Parallels 5

    Yes, I'm having the same problem. I installed Windows 7 in Boot Camp. Now, of course, since Parallels 5 won't WORK with Boot Camp, I'm stuck. See, the Registration code was used up when I installed in Boot Camp, back when I thought Parallels/Boot Camp would work. Now I can't use...

    Corrupting my Boot Camp with Parallels

    I have to wonder if I'm having a similar problem. I have used both Boot Camp and Parallels 4.0; Parallels is convenient, but Boot Camp is solid by comparison. I need to be able to run a Windows .icm color correction profile that isn't compatible with Mac OS X at work. Ideally I'd...

    PCI Parallel port for old dongle

    Hi ! I was about to ask a similar question. I have a MacBook Pro with Express Card slot. There's an Express Card with Parallel port I've seen. The way I figure it, if I use Boot Camp and install the Express Card, it should install in the Windows environment. Thus, there's a fair...

    I have working RS-232 serial...

    Dongles... This is great ! I was about to post a related question. I have a MBPro, 2Ghz, and it has an Expresscard slot. I want to direct-drive the serial port for our CNC machine at work. The software that generates the HPGL files uses a Parallel port dongle, so I was wondering if...
