Would be nice to run OS/X - sadly 64mb of ram won't be a pleasant experience :'( or maybe it won't install. Got it running with the 40GB drive - its running very nicely on OS …

Your talking about if he wanted to install OS X. OS 9 or 8 don't have the 8GB partition limitation.

Oops! The disk image for King's Quest disk 1 came back with errors & ADTPRO labels the disk as being "I/O Errors." I have a utility that will try to get bad blocks out on m…

On the tray loaders the two limitations are that the OS has to be on the first partition which is 8gb or less, the second is the mac can't recognize the full capacity of a HD if it…

You might want to check the jumpers - I find that with my iMac, the HDD must be set to Master or Single drive, otherwise I can't boot from the drive.

It should boot ok as blixanz says, the OS needs to be on the first partition of the drive which must be under 8GB or your system will become very ubnstable. Try installing the dri…

That is only the case when installing OS X. It should boot. Are you booting from a install CD?

Have one of my tray-load iMacs going now and have put a 40GB drive in to replace its' old 4GB. Drive has not been partitioned. Can't exactly boot into Mac OS :-/ - just hangs a…

My G4's have been wonky like that before. Just leave everything unplugged from the machine without battery for a couple days. Then try again.

I know what you mean about grasping at straws.... I've tried a few already.. pram, nvram, cleaned everything using Onyx. I hope its not a duff card as these are hard to find....…

It should work fine. Did the G4 start reliably before you put in the 6200? Also, apparently this card shouldn't be taped so make sure there is no tape on the gold connectors. It…

Hey folks, if I can bring up this topic again... I have a G4 450 "Sawtooth" I have flashed a 6200 wang video card and it will not always boot. Some times the system boots with …

How long is a piece of string? As with any saleable item that can be imagined, your card is worth only as much as someone else is willing to pay for it. You may be able to glean…

How much is a 128MB stick worth? I have one in a broken machine and it might need to be sold if I can't get a replacement machine to use. Thanks.

I cleared the G4 DA by removing its drives (three of them) to a G4 MDD, where they work properly and without any grizzles or KPs. The one unfortunate response was OS 9.2.2's inabi…

I'm not sure if OS X sort of ear-marks certain kexts during install for potentially faster loading or something. Dunno. If you're using an SDR RAM eMac, then the architectures sho…

Try installing Tiger and then use Migration Assitant to transfer the files. The install still thinks your on the eMac witch can cause problems in the innards of OS X. I usually get…

A while back I was attempting to clean up a newly-bought 'not working' iBook G3/600 in target disk mode from an eMac. It was a successful exercise, but the next night, when Retros…

I'm preparing a G4 as in the title for my wife, who currently uses an eMac/1GHz, so that she can use an ADC Cinema Display HD (23") with it. Erase and install (using a SuperDuper!…

Copper, brass or bronze, depending on the hardness desired, but most often brass. If the rusted metal is the bright steel (which relies on its polished surface to resist rust) of …

There is indeed something better, and it's designed for the purpose. It looks just like a toothbrush, except the brush bit is made of brass (or copper?) wires. I can't recall whe…

Soldering should work. Those tabs are welded to the cells, but intended for you to solder them at the far end either to each other or into a PC board. The batteries will see the …

A little Googling has turned up V150H button cells as replacements for the V110H cells originally in 2400c backup batteries. The V150Hs appear to be simply higher capacity successo…
