Yeah, sound crackling seems to be common among the 3400c. Me and my brother's PB3400c make a "crackle" sound only during startup, when it's loading the sound extension. Perfectly f…

If you installed System 7.1, 7.1 Pro or 7.1.2, then you should also install System Update 3.0 System Update 3.0

Seems to be a grounding issue. if I pull the power plug and run it from battery, it completely stops. Faulty PSU perhaps?

That "copy" of Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 is likely an updater for 1.1 or 1.1.1, not a full version. Apple Personal Diagnostics was sold as commercial software, your best bet…

That's strange. I never noticed that the apple was "upside-down" when you carry the bag by its handles.

Wow! That is an awesome find, thanks for sharing the photos with us!

Now here's a good question. What would cause the speakers on the lid of the 3400c to "Crackle"? Like with static. I fixed the issue I told the seller about with the screen artifa…

I have found on Apple's site Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 but it requires Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1 or 1.1.1 Anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the Apple Personal D…

System Update 3.0 does not change the version number of FInder or System. From my experience I got it installed on my Colour Classic, the FInder and System are still version 7.1

Got it working—I connected the iMac with target disk mode to my G4 tower, booted the tower into 9.1 copied over the system folder from the tower, then ran the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updat…

Sorry to hijack... Will Classilla support HTML 5? Click to expand... It supports some of it already, but a lot of it will be a long time coming, if ever. For example, , and t…

OS 9.1 is supported on x100 series Macs so long as you use an original Mac OS 9.1 install CD. You cannot use a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.04 CD + the downloadable 9.1 updater. If you don't h…

9.0.x yes, and I think 9.1. 9.2.x, no.

Just want to let you know, I got the laptop (Will write the guy a PM after this) and right now, I am on wifi posting through Classilla. Btw, classichasclass did a really good job …

Very insightful comments trag, thank you. I played a bit with the CE pins before, attempting to make a direct connection to ground which didn't help. I think I'll test the voltag…

I just bought an iMac G4 on eBay with a blank hard disk and no CDs. It only has 128mb of RAM so I want to put OS 9 on it (It's the 700mhz model that shipped with 9.2.2 and 10.1.2 i…

IIRC, I got to 7.1.3 by installing 7.1 and then running the updater for the .3. I probably still have it on my archive volume. Click to expand... That update didn't happen to b…

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3. Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

The SCSI card that I will eventually use is the ATTO SE IVD, but it si currently not installed. Click to expand... IIRC, neither the Sonnet, nor the NewerTech upgrades were com…

Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

I plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…
