I've had the same problem with a beige G3 tower running X.2, and with a ATI Rage 128 pci card installed.
It seems to wake sometimes, and not others.

My Beige G3 seems to suspend itself, I've tried to tell it not to.
But to wake it what am I supposed to press? Power key on keyboard does nothing and power key on front of machine…
Tonight I set up my gigabit ethernet G4 with my new monitor, and very soon decided to nuke the 10.2.8 install with panther, which is what I happened to have lying around. Anyway, a…
It is a separate large beige part - looks like a brick. You can see one in the picture of this auction:

No, I don't have a power supply...
Would I be looking for something like this?

All you need to hook it up to a regular TV is a composite video cable (the yellow RCA-type video cable). You probably have one of these laying around somewhere but if you don't you…

Hi,
Okay, I just now bought this Apple IIc on eBay:

Okay, great! Thanks!
I've just been outbid on a Macintosh Plus that I was going for on eBay, so I decided to go for an Apple IIc instead. (I'm still going for a Plus, of course,…

Documentation for the II family was incredible. The Red Book told you almost everything about how the computer worked -- the only other thing that you needed was the 6502 manual.

As others have said, the Apple II is and always was a hobbyist system. In fact, the Apple II series used to come with a little booklet entitled "A Touch of AppleSoft BASIC" which e…

Luddite is correct, they are much more of a hobbiest system. They are great to program on because they include both BASIC and the mini-assembler, and the limited resources don't o…

Hi,
No matter where I look, I keep hearing great things about the Apple ][ series of computers. So what exactly makes them that great? My oldest computer is a Mac SE, so obvious…

There are a few different PowerPC upgrades out there for the 500 series. I think you must have a unit with the Apple card; when you shipped your 5xx to Apple to have the PowerPC d…
The upgrade cards themselves are very rare and probably mostly lurk inside long-forgotten 500 series PowerBooks. I'm still blown away by how cheaply you got it!

The backup battery is powerful enough to maintain a powerbook in sleep mode for as much as a couple of days; they are rather robust when functional, in other words. The way the pow…
