Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

IIRC 200gb or smaller partitions can only be read by os9 say you have a 600gig drive and it is partitioned in 200gb and 400gb it would boot fine off the 200gb partition but absolut…

I'm sure others who have personal experience with such machines can give you a 'from personal experience' answer, but here's my understanding: OS 9 will only recognize partitions …

Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Whee! My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem. Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

Any chance you OS 9.x partition is the first partition set? You might be up against the OSX 8 Gig startup volume limitation... Try repartitioning, and installing OS 9 on to a par…

For some reason I can only boot into OS9, if I select OSX in startup disk the mac will chime and it will not output video. Don't know why...

My Quicksilver is currently using a PCI card since it gave up its AGP GeForce2 MX for my Cube. (16MB Rage, but that machine is in server duty and only used over screen sharing,…

I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…

Via a local kijiji seller: a 400MHz G4 AGP Graphics with 1GB RAM and a nice, quiet 20GB hard drive. It was filthy (smoker and dust) so it was disassembled and washed and is drying …

There were a handful of external monitor adapters for the SE but they were nothing like the ones made for the SE/30. One was by Radius for use with their portrait monitor. There wa…

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.

It needs to have the DVD Extension and Disc Authoring though. Click to expand... Are you sure? ISTR reading that once the disk is formatted (HFS or HFS+) it can be mounted rea…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something?

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…

dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

Look up: Richard Martin Belleville, MI 48111 on LEMswap, he has tons of working g4 macs in lots cheap, pickup only if you are in that area.
