The iMac G3 tray load and iMac G4's I must say are the two harder ones to get drives out of. The slot load on the other hand is much simpler.

A few points to add to the good advice others have contributed: - As folks have said, Tiger must be installed on the first partition, and the partition should be smaller than 7.45…

I need to put a new drive in my imac G4. How do I get it open?

I believe the other one is Delphi. Click to expand... yeah that sounds about right.

There were also two different types of cooling units, one by Panasonic and one by...somebody else, i forget who, the one by Panasonic actually works brilliantly and has a much lowe…

Not even all the G4's could boot into OS9 directly, you just had classic support under OSX. Click to expand... I think the last gen MDD were the non OS 9. Click to expand...…

After getting this up and running, I am now on a roll. I just got a troublesome quicksilver up and running. It was originally not booting, or booting to openfirmware prompt and fr…

I did not look at them that closely but that is a definite possibility. Either way, it was a benefit since the two ram chips originally in the Lombard were not suitable for the un…

Looking at the name plate was my first place to look however it was just a 1400c label. That website worked for me and I found that the machine I have is a 1400c 133mhz while the …

Wallstreet and Lombard both have 66MHz system busses and can use PC66 SO-DIMMs. If someone went the cheap route on the Wallstreet and only used bare-minimum spec PC66 SDRAM (yes, …

Umm, doesn't the machine's badge tell you that? It should say one of the following: 1400cs/117 1400c/117 1400cs/133 1400c/133 1400cs/166 1400c/166 The 2nd number (after the…

I reseated the CPU to no go. I took the RAM out and put it into my Lombard along with a new 20GB HD, instant boot. Works great. I installed the old Lombard RAM which apparently …

IIRC the 166Mhz CPU only worked in 1400/166 models, so if that works in there you'd assume it was originally specced to this. JB

Do the old "disconnect the PRAM battery", and reseat the CPU card - it goes in with a "thunk" sound. JB

When i put the my duo 2300c into the original duo dock after it has been sitting for a few weeks it boots just fine and runs for about a minute then shuts down. Each time i start i…

I was given a Pismo stock except the HD was smaller. After aquiring a fully loaded Wallstreet 14" with hinges not doing so well. I gutted it intended on making a good pismo out o…

I got a G3 upgraded Powerbook 1400c a few days ago and it came with 2 133mhz and 1 166mhz in addition to the G3 chip inside. Is there any way to tell what the original CPU was? T…

Well not all G5s are liquid cooled, basically if its clock speed is 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0, regardless of processor count, its air-cooled and thus has no chance of spontaneous combustion.…

I have a few old and reliable G3 and my G4 powerbook to help me with my Classic *fix* but honestly I've played around with Apple's new gear at their Store and it's so zippy compare…

I'm back, but until I re-learn how to embed a URL or get around to copy/pasting my '''fritter return to the web announcement in the lounge, you folks are SOL on the full story.... …
