I have an eMac 800. Much louder than my fanless iMac "Fireball. The only noise it makes is the Quantum Fireball 6.99GB harddrive

Congratulations on a hack well done, comrade! . . . you have a good plan in place for both fixes and you've earned you battle scars! :rambo: Why, in this day and age, do peo…

Well, it's certainly a good candidate for a mod. Considering how many Mac Pluses there are out there, I would suggest that it won't be missed. Throwing it away is a waste though. L…

I reseated everything one last time, and it turns on now! :scrambled:

Its actually pretty simple. You just install Netbsd on a machine with OF 1.0.5 and it does all of it for you. One thats done, you set your boot device to /path/to/:0 and it works. …

look up the pins (or you could just run a screw driver over the pins) where the button connectors connect to the board and try starting it that way.

Yes there was - it was briefly marketed as an upgrade for the Beige G3 (not slot compatible with AGP graphics G4s). I think it was pulled for power and/or reliability issues. You…

it can natively boot linux/bsd without needing to bootstrap from within MacOS (as can any machine with of1.0.5) Click to expand... Is that right? Awesome. How do you get that…

why is it in this day and age there are still lots of people that don't own cameras? it's not hard to get an inexpensive one new that doesn't suck terribly or buy one that doesn't …

Maybe the button is faulty?

I'm running a Power Mac 7500 with a Sonnet Crescendo G3/500, 224MB RAM, 2 SCSI hard drives and Mac OS 9.1. It has been a faithful machine to me for the past 5 years. I will be lo…

My Sawtooth won't turn on! I have replaced every component other than the logic board and power supply with spares. When I press the power button, nothing happens. Is it the logic …

I'll try to take a picture. I don't own a camera, but I can borrow one from work.

I kind of love the PCI PPC era because of the clones. Apple's decisions in this era as far as chassis layout and design is enough to make anyone dislike them on that basis alone an…

Turned out great. Click to expand... Thanks for sharing a photo. :O

I successfully applied the hires 640x480 hack on my Color Classic. I've never even soldered before. Turned out great. My next step is to solder on a resister so I can expan…

...but upgrading would require pulling money out of my MacBook savings!

So MLA, what should I do with it? Click to expand... Well, it's certainly a good candidate for a mod. Considering how many Mac Pluses there are out there, I would suggest that …

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

Nope. No red button. Only two buttons near the PRAM battery.

How do you reset the MoBo? Click to expand... If memory serves me right, there is a red button that is labeled "PRAM RESET" on the motherboard. While the G3 is unplugged, hold …

Yes but the one near the processor Lights up and then turns off. This makes me think its the processor. Well whatever if it is. At the lab we have a few 350MHZ ZIFs How do you res…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…

(or see if anyone on here has a rom flasher and is willing to make some for you)

er... get a ROM flasher and some ROM chips, and make ROMs?
