Nice score. I'd like to get my hands on a 17" powerbook one day.

I've been busy the past few weeks with some new items: C600/240 96MB RAM 3.5GB HD USB Card Boots to 9.1 but a bit noisy G4/400 192MB RAM 20 GB HD CDRW No OS; Does not boo…

Yeah, I did an optical drive upgrade on mine; then two weeks later had the hard drive die; then a month later, when I got a MacBook Pro, decided to put the recently-installed optic…

I used to work on eMacs all the time. The only frustrating step was the pigtail wire that runs from the power button to the logic board. They made the wire so short and there is …

AH! It SUCKS to do an eMac Upgrade. There is no shield over that scary huge CRT. Erhh. It took me hours To complete a DVD Drive upgrade on mine and it doesn't work correctly . iB…

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks. Click to expand... Yeah, All iBooks were terrible to work on, clamshell included.

I've noticed that there seems to be ALOT of ebay sellers with powerbook g4's that were used as only desktops.

Congrats in the Al-PB, an excellent machine! May you and the PowerBook enjoy "peace and long life" I enjoy the 1701A bit in the username

iBooks are a nightmare too. I'm glad they've made it easier in the MacBooks.

I just had my first occasion to replace a hard drive in an eMac. My goodness, what a gigantic PIA! It was easy to do, but it took about an hour from start to finish and included s…

The 17" is portable... I bring it places, I had a 15" and same thing it portable. The 12" are nice but a bit too small for me. now there was a HP with, I believe a 21 inch screen…

My games work well under the mac mini, as I sold the G5 on ebay for 750.00 + 35.00 shipping. Given the fact that the G5 was a good computer it was also huge and no-a-days I'd like…

System 7.6.1. is exactly what I am booting, and exactly as shown in your video. Very interesting theory. (I am yet order a new battery, I shall find out in a few weeks)

I couldn't get a ROM 03 into my Woz fast enough. Who cares if it's not original; that, some RAM, a Transwarp and an AE HD make it a wonderful little box.

My Quadra 700 does the exact same thing when booting 7.6.1. (Maybe other OSs but I haven't run any others in a long while.) It chimes, starts just enough to turn the CRT LED green,…

Too much paste is worse then none at all, even a little that gets stuck on the cache leads will short out a chip.

That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

Lolwut? What do you mean it blew up? Pictures?

I wonder, but is it possible the system software doesn't have the correct or needed enabler for the CC? Depending on the system software version, was there ever an enabler require…

how did you manage that :?:

Thanks - turned out to be the thermal paste on the CPU. Bought some. Applied it. And then it blew up! So I'm consigning it to the great scrapyard in the sky xx(

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall. It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

The PRAM battery is definitely NO good. I am going to replace it and see what happens. Thanks.
