Success! After destroying my first CF-IDE adapter, I got two new ones in the mail and finally got around to putting a 1GB CF drive in. I booted with the case off with both the SCS…

If I get this up and running, I'll definitely keep an eye out for an upgrade kit, equant -- thanks. It is too bad that the TCP/IP connection isn't persistent; I wonder why they mad…

I've had an eMate for well I don't know. I got it new after they discontinued, so 10 years? I've used it for many things, and am quite fond of it. I do think the HWR is a bit qu…

Didn't read the page, but the bits I glossed over reflect my recollections: http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/nondestructively_resizing_volumes I don't know if you need an Intel…

how can i partition my hd without deleting the info mac 10.4.X

If you do have any plroblems getting it up and running or need extra parts then this chappie, http://newtonsales.com/ does sales and repairs. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of m…

I deeply appreciate the tips, beachycove. I will perform the hard reset dance at the first opportunity. It would be nice to get it working. It looks like a neat little machine for…

I have the full 1GB in my B&W so I know what you mean.

haha it is all pretty much nostalgia, but it is my hobby! My beige is 128MB of being maxed out!

The eMate is a great machine for its intended uses. Accept none of the usual insults regarding your new toy. I have fiddled with several of these over the past months, and while m…

Thanks, Rodus! That website seems to be *the* Newton place -- I'll be spending a lot of time there, I see (assuming that I resurrect this unit). As for surfing, I've got my expect…

I've found Newtscape to be the best with NetHopper a very close second, a word of warning though, surfing on an eMate is going to be slooooow. It's slow on my 2000 which has a 162…

It sure does -- many thanks, ChristTrekker. Have you tried any of these? I'm up for a certain amount of experimentation, but I'd also like to benefit from the collective wisdom of …

A little Googling finds browsers called Courier and LunaSuite. The first is GPL, the second is discontinued. Does that help at all?

For $4 I got my first emate. Doesn't work at the moment, but assuming that it can be induced to do so at some point, what choices are there for browsers? I understand that there's …

Yes g4's exist for Nubus, a slow one not worth bothering with (240Mhz?). Any apps that would make use of a G4 would choke on a Nubus machine. If you already have the CPU then stic…

You can slap a G4 into an old Nubus PPC machine and it will still be slow Click to expand... You can get a G4 for a nubus mac?????

to coiusI also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work be…

if it still doesnt work, you should try the atx power supply hack. although it might just be safer to get your hands on something like a quicksilver or some g4 with a bigger power…

Very nice!!

Thu. Sep 4th 2008 12:40 AM - Up & Running I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…

The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…

I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.

haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…
