If for some reason you don't want to close the lid (or if the lid is missing) you can force clamshell mode by setting a small magnet in the area of the trackpad. (That's how the sy…

if you are using an external keyboard and mouse, try to go into clamshell mode, boot it w/ the screen open, and once it has booted,close it, then wake it up w/ an external keyboard…

It also sounds like you could have a bad down converter in it. Put the drive in another computer and see if it spins up. If the down converter is going bad, the drive could just b…

Well it arrived today. The LCD has several large cracks and the only part of the screen that is readable is about a 5" by 1" strip in the upper left corner. Unfortunately, OS X doe…

I think the WGS may have started with 100, but the one I have is the "speed bump" 110. There is a "technically" faster point with the Radius; the internal SCSI buss is faster than…

Just got the A OK to take the B&W G3 in the lab home! I am going to combine both of them to make a great server! WooHoo!

If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it. Click to expand... So…

I would have to concur. I KNOW I have that document you are referencing SOMEWHERE in my collection picked up along my career as a performance engineer. Hmm.... IF most drives tha…

Probably doable with SwitchResX or similar.

those early Macs use drives that are specific to Macs and you can't use non-Mac drives in them. Yanking the hard drive and scrapping it renders the whole machine useless. Click …

did you even have to write it, I just thought your awesomeness made it plop out on the desktop one day! Click to expand... No, that was lunch. Sorry about the mess.

You could mount it in a closet on on the underside of your desk as a server. I always thought a headless Powerbook would make a good ultra-thin "XServe."

Goodness!!!!! Does that key hack work on the Quadra 950????? Mine takes forever and a day to start up since it's got the full 256 megs of ram installed. I wish I bought more ram…
