I selected 3 for “Logic” and selected 1 again for the “All” function so I can run all of the available tests. You are brought to a “Home” screen showing you the list of the many tests you can run. Press the number next to the machine, for example in my case I was using a Macintosh Classic, so I selected 1 for Classic. The LCD screen will display which ROM card is in Slot A and will show an “Identify CPU” screen, listing the computers it’s compatible with. Insert a 9-volt battery (after removing the ports section) or attach your AC cord, turn the unit on via the switch on the left. These cables are all male-to-male and are regular cables, no special adapters needed.

To start using the TechStep shut off your Mac and the TechStep and connect a 25-pin SCSI cable, Serial Cable (Modem port works best for me) and an ADB cable running from your Mac to your TechStep. There are additional ROM packs, but these are very hard to come by. Volume 2 works with Macintosh LCD, LCD II, and Classic II models. Volume 1 works with Macintosh Classic, SE, SE/30, II, IIx, and IIcx models. Two were included with my unit “CPU Tests, Vol 1, v. Each ROM has a sticker which lists which machines it is compatible with. These are similar to GameBoy cartridges, the TechStep can hold two at a time. The TechStep uses ROM packs to load the computer diagnostic information. The unit can run off of it’s AC power adapter or a single 9 volt battery, mine did not come with an adapter but the battery works just fine. Also on the left side of the unit is an AC adapter port, the On/Off switch, and a secondary Serial port used for transferring diagnostic reports to a healthy Mac. On the back of the device are a few ports to connect to the computer: 25-pin SCSI, ADB (2 ports), Modem serial, Printer serial, and 3.5mm Stereo Mini-Jack. The numbered keypad has some text on it also to help you navigate around. The TechStep has a little LCD screen which displays only text. The Mac actually boots off of this device, the device can then run tests on the Power Supply, RAM, Motherboard, Drives, or Ports. The purpose of this tool is to test a Mac’s components. I recently picked up one of these on eBay for about $25. The tool was only sold privately to authorized Apple dealers, but later on Apple released it publicly for a price of $999. Have you ever heard of an Apple TechStep? Well this was a tool used in the early 1990’s by an Apple Tech to test a Macintosh computer.

Especially for Grandma which doesn’t have a computer and already knows how to use a DVD player.

Yes Apple may be running toward the notion of digital download videos, but making DVDs is still one of the easiest ways to share videos with your family. I would like a template of the chapter titles and visual button placement/theme to stay the same, and just edit the content. I would also love the ability to use a previous project and replace just the main video. Yes the themes are older and Apple probably isn’t going to fix them, but why include them if they’re broken? It’s very frustrating, especially when working with a load of similar projects.
Sadly they remain in version 7.1 – it seems 7.1 was just made to possibly be compatible with the new version of iMovie. I hoped they would have fixed these issues. This didn’t seem the case, however the Apple Store site mentions that iDVD is now version 7.1, instead of the current 7.0.4. I hoped that since iLife ’11 included iDVD they would have updated it. The only thing you can edit is the name of the menu itself. Losing all of your custom placement, frames, and editing.
The only way for you to edit the text is to temporarily switch themes, edit the text, and switch back. So after you’ve arranged the chapters, changed the frames, moved the boxes where you want them – you can’t edit the text. You can select the button, you can right-click on it, but no matter what you do, you can not change the text. One frustrating example is that if you choose an older theme, such as the ‘Watercolor’ theme (which is nice for family DVDs) it is impossible to edit the text in the chapters menu! Or other places as well. The problem is that iDVD version 7.0.4 (the latest version from iLife ’09) is riddled with bugs. They love being able to have their VHS home videos on DVD with chapters and nice menus. Recently I’ve been converting a bunch of home video VHS tapes from my family and my girlfriend’s family. I use iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto very often. Apple recently announced their new version of their iLife suite.
