Strangely the one used previously worked at one time as well. Click to expand... Entropy always increases.

I would love to own one solely because I want to use my ADB keyboards. That does work in OS X right?

^^or by using an external firewire or USB2 + pci card I have to say I love the B&W, I got one on ebay only a couple of years back simply cos I remember when they were rele…

Yes. ATA controllers made before LBA48 was introduced (around 2002) cannot address more than 128 GB of disk space. You can work around this by using a card.

These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. Click to expand... Is this really true? Obviously 128GB was huge 10 years ago, but I still don't see any reason for that sort…

I thought about to post the same topic yesterday. These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. ZIF CPU upgrades up to 1100 MHZ are available. The 300mhz model is a bit slo…

I tried another ethernet cable and it now works. Strangely the one used previously worked at one time as well.

I have always liked the B&W G3 Machines. I think they had more personality in terms of case coloring than the later Yikes! and Sawtooth machines. For me I have installed a …

I have 2 B&Ws in use, one with a G4-450. Both are very nice machines. I remember looking at them back in early 2001 when I decided to buy a 8500 powermac and beef it up wit…

Well it lacks the fundamental aspect of the hinge down motherboard, which was amazing.

"wow, this is the future of the Mac" Click to expand... And the Pro still has the same basic case design, wow.

Well, Cory, I've had Windows Server 2008 (basically a beefed up Server version of Vista) on a PIII Celeron 600 with 384MB of RAM! Its...not pleasant, but not as bad as you'd ex…

I've actually used Vista on a PIII Celeron, 800MHz with 512mb of memory. The easiest way to describe it is that it can happen, but that it's maybe not the most pleasant thing ever…

Or Vista on a PIII

You can drop a G4 in one of these and use Leopard. That's some pretty good longevity. Kind of like Tiger on a 1996-era 7500 with a G3/G4 card.

Just as a heads up, on Jan 5th 1999 was the day the PowerMac G3 blue/white systems were announced. This pertains to the 300, 350 and 400MHz models, although the 450 was really only…

i use to use a Pioneer DVR-110D with a Radeon 7000 PCI in a Beige G3 AIO running OS 9.2.2 with the help of the Apple DVD patch on OS9forever.com and it worked great. in OS X the Ap…

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try and let you know. I already tried unplugging the battery and that wasn't it.

This may be obvious but maybe I missed something... When you added the RAM, did you take out the processor daughter card (it's got that funky heatsink appendage thing with it) to …

Some initial feedback is coming from the NewtonTalk list. I'll wait a couple of days and then I'll PM you the contributions I've got. Cheers, Rick

Is the Blue and White PowerMac G4 a previously unknown prototype hidden in Cupertino's labs? Click to expand... It was originally a Rev 1 G3/350, then the motherboard was repla…

No problem there, I'd be using the Newton exclusively for blogging (and PIM), no surfing of web or checking of email... As for encryption, I'm not sure what the hotspots around to…

^^I'm guessing, weird Apple prototypes aside, that it's a B&W G3 with a G4 Zif upgrade.

Is the Blue and White PowerMac G4 a previously unknown prototype hidden in Cupertino's labs?

As regards to surfing the Web with the Newton, I agree with Rodus. The options are limited and even in the best case scenario, you won't get farther than text-only browsing (à la L…
