I came across a pile of emacs. They had been tossed off a truck, I picked up a couple of them as I dumped my stuff off. They are 2005 models with 1.42ghz cpu's. . THey are c…

now that i think about it, I am probably wrong because i seem to remember it being a bug with xpostfacto

This link sources a few different places you can get it. Also for a few different Apple laptops. I went with Digikey. http://www.jkllamps.com/laptop.cfm VERY inexpensive and th…

you would have to use os 9 because it is disabled in osx Click to expand... Are you sure? I've never used it but I have IrDA options in Network system preferences and Internet…

So, a few days ago, my PowerBook G4 started acting funny, not wanting to sleep, freezing on waking from sleep, etc. Then finally, it locked up during the boot sequence and never ca…

Hell, my newton used to control my Sony TV... I bet it can be done...

Where did you get the bulb?

There was a utility to do this with Windows laptops I saw a while ago... can't remember the name.

I thought you meant, that the Battery Reset was not written for the Clamshell. Excuse me while I go shoot myself.

That battery reset actually is written for the clamshell as well. But thats the only iBook compatible. Click to expand... I have no idea what you're saying. The OP was talking …

Like trick it into thinking your sending a file but it is actually the code to change the the channel or something.

You might need some sort of direct hardware access to do that because it isn't a typical serial signal. I really don't know where to start, though. IrDA can also receive IR signa…

My thoughts exactly. I had Leopard on my dual 450 G4 with 1.12GB of ram and the Radeon 7000, it was alright, but it gets annoying after a while. Leopard seems to chew on hard drive…

Tried it on a G4 450 with PCI Radeon Mac Edition + 1GB RAM. It ran like an absolute dog compared to 10.4. It's not especially fast on my 1.33 Ghz G4 and that's way above the spec…

AFAIK, there is no reset app on the clamshell -- the one that I'm familiar with works with the earlier G3 powerbooks. On the clamshell, only an extension gets installed, and it's …

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes? Click to expand... Presumably you need an IrDA Communications Tool…

I have been considering Leopard on my 800mhz TiBook and my wife's dual 500 G4. The dual 500 has a PCI 32mb radeon 7000 in it and 1.25 gigs of ram. The TiBook has 768mb of ram, thou…

I don't know but I like the idea. It would drive my wife nuts! :lol:

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes?

Folks, I have the same problem as Didius, but different. Couple of months ago, I rescued a 'dead' iBook (G3/300) at an AUSOM meeting, I was told by the person that gave it to me,…

It was a very good deal. My Pismo is so much brighter now! It also was becoming a bit pink in the left corner which was a sign that it maybe wouldn't have lasted a whole lot long…

Well done -- congratulations! As you noted, it's not so much hard as it is tedious, with lots of little steps along the way. But it's well worth doing, given that a $10 tube can re…

SUCCESS! It was a tricky thing to do, but everything worked fine. I agree that you should work slowly and carefully. I managed to not break either bulb (old & new). The…
