Enjoy the Pismo! I used to have a 500MHz one but Cory has it now. They really are wonderful machines. I use to run 10.4 on mine with dual batteries (8+ hours FTW!) and 1GB of RAM…

A CD copy?*cough* BitTorrent *cough* Click to expand... This board does not support software piracy.

it is great now that it is running tiger also, the cd part of the drive works—just not the dvd

The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated. The same thing happens to Power Macintosh 6500 CPU fans, and the really small fans on certain ATI Vide…

this model did have a dvd drive, it is written on the bottom of the computer and on the drive itself. i tried to put an OS9 cd in it, but it still did not work. btw, i have the RE…

A CD copy? *cough* BitTorrent *cough*

I received an external Firewire drive with mine, unfortunately it's a CD, not DVD. You used to be able to get Tiger on CDROM, the gig was you bought the DVD then returned it for CD…

...Which is why it's called "Cheetah"... Its just that fast! :lol: On a side note, the cats keep getting smaller... What'll 10.7 be? Mac OS X House Cat? :lol:

400mhz, 64mb, 6gb hardrive, os10.0.3- $50! it still has a working battery that is supposed to hold almost 3hrs! i already upped the ram to 1gb, and it will get Tiger later tonight…

I still have my BeigeG3MT and I will have it for many years to come as far I know right now. It's not my daily driver - it is my link to the past. Some of us here romanticize or …

My LC III runs through something similar when i turn it on. it happy macs, then reatarts andboots normally.\ :?: Click to expand... That means it needs a good PRAM battery AFAI…

7300 in the bedroom, G4 MDD dual 1.25GHz OS 9 development system at the workstation. Another 7300 also runs the gopher server (gopher.floodgap.com).

I have a variety of PCI Macs from c. 1995-97, which (excluding my beige G3s, which are PCI too, of course) comprise a 6500, 7200, 7500, 8600/200MP, 2 x 8600/300, and a 9500. I also…

If I could get my 9500 working again, I'd sure be interested in it.

Yes - love my 9600 here, still packs a punch. Cheap to upgrade and max out if you take time searching for parts. Problem was of course, the vast amount of machines and similar mo…

Is there much interest in PCI Powermacs these days? Seems like 68K Compacts and Quadras are still popular, and G4 towers and newer are also, what about the 6x00, 7500-9600?

I sent you an email, dita. It should give you some tips to try. If you need System 6 or 7 on floppy disks, let me know. I still think it could be the hard drive. Drive "stictio…

and actually, I think I may have a (unknown working condition) spare! 8-o This is turning out to be just awesome.

There aren't any. Cardbus requires a PCI-based motherboard, and the 1400 is Nubus based.

It's a powered accept/eject mechanism, like a VCR, so yeah, it does. Luckily 99% of the time it's just one cap that's blown

The logic board has circuitry that divides the clock signal in half. I would need to supply a 16MHz clock to the logic board in order to run the processor at 8 MHz.

It could well be, see here for the Duo Dock "click of death" and route of repair: http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/%7Ecleary/computers/duo.html ... if you're new to soldering, I'd pr…

Hmm... does the bad PSU problem prevent the Duo from being loaded into the Dock? I honestly didn't know that. :scrambled: Oh well; I'm about to start being able to solder, so i…
