all of it works on my beige with an ATI 9200 in it. Looking at the dates, this computer came out in 99 and apple didn't take Open GL until later. Click to expand... Yeah, but …

Write a decent ad, making sure all the upgrades are well described. I should think you'd get more than $150 for it, but then I'm in a different market to you and prices are not al…

Tiger didn't have the greatest support for aged ATI chipsets. Perhaps you should try a downgrade to Panther - that version essentially uses modified OS 9 drivers/resource files for…

On eBay you might be able to net as much as $150, maybe more. The battery helps alot, as does the ram and HDD. Shipping international probably wouldn't make much difference, they'r…

I am looking to see what I would get (and possibly any offers) for a PowerBook G3 Lombard with the following specs: PowerBook G3 Lombard. 333Mhz G3 w/ 512k WORKING L2 Cache 512M…

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it was a lime iBook... yeah, in fact I'm positive...

The Lombard has an ATI 3D accelerated chipset Click to expand... Yeah, but there a varying degrees of acceleration and of OpenGL support...

The Lombard has an ATI 3D accelerated chipset

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the graphics cards in these old Powerbooks have any 3D acceleration to speak of, and they do only have 8MB of VRAM. Have you checked the sy…

I have never been able to open Those Apps. They are only games though, but I would still like them to work. Stepmania and supertux are two that just open, readjust the resolution…

Oh yeah. No problem

The drive is in, but the bezel fits not. I believe this, and my habit of two-fisted typing with my Mac on my lap has caused enough case flex to lead to the appearance of said crac…

Did it previously do so? The Lombard's graphics card is its most outdated component.

My Lombard (400 Mhz) Will not open anything that uses Open GL. Anyone know a fix? I am running Tiger.

If you choose to format, you should also "zero all data" for a better format. I believe that this process maps out any new bad blocks that have appeared on the disk.

Also tried installing OS 9 from the iBook, using Target Disk Mode (mounted the Pismo drive on the iBook's desktop), but the installer stalled when checking the disk! What can I do?…

@sircabulon: no, my disks are retail versions, although one says "PowerMac G4 install", and the other "iMac install" on the volume name. But they installed perfectly on the G3 iBoo…

do your discs say "iBook" anywhere on them?

I have just grown accustomed to keeping the tray loading drive in unless i actually need to burn a disc.

Did you use the startup disk prefpane? Also try key combination Apple+option+shift+delete to ignore the internal HD at startup. Holding C often times doesn't work from my experie…

Did you try holding down Option after the machine was turned on/restarted with the CD in the drive? It should pop up with that menu that presents a choice between boot devices. If…
