Thanks, but I am having a *wee* bit of trouble getting OS X 10.2 onto it. It doesn't seem to want to boot right after the first part of the install. It just gives me the circle with the strike through it. I am told it's bad discs, so I burned another set and hope it works.Nice score on the PB btw.
Ok, I got the system into 10.3.5 . Now doing the update to 10.3.9. I had the video issue, but I solved it by removing the AtiRagoProGM.plugin so it works now
. it's an awesome little laptop and is quite snappy. Although the video leaves much to be desired, it still works good. it's a bit slow when it comes to drawing the screen, but that's fine, as I am not looking for high-end video quality. 4MB video only goes so far
Anyways, I got the ioexperts wifi driver and installed it. I am going to register the card when I get the lombard I have my eyes on. So here's hoping It goes through and registers the card only!!! Maybe I can use the card one two laptops
