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. ht…

that may very well be, but G5's are still not cheap and considering how much more powerful even the first-gen 32bit Intels are (unless you plan on getting a last-generation G5, whi…

Intel. I'm not even sure why a G5 is still a consideration at this point. Unless you just really like the PPC platform, 2 internal HD limit, purchased obsolescence, and knifing y…

What I did when I had this problem is take the hard drive out, put it into a tiger capable mac, then install tiger on that first partition, before the user setup process, just tak…

I did the same install on a beige G3 some back and had a couple of problems. I had to format a partition not at but slightly under 8 gb and it had to be the first partition on the …

I wonder if I should partition the whole 80gb drive into 7.5gb partitions and see what that does. Click to expand... You'd just end up with a whole lot of 7.5GB patitions, whic…

Just tried it. Screwed around with the drive configuration and got the same results as before. I wonder if I should partition the whole 80gb drive into 7.5gb partitions and see wha…

try making is something like 7.5GB. that's probably the problem.

Ok, so if you read my buildup thread, you know that I have a 300 MHZ beige G3 minitower that I'm trying to install tiger on. It has 768 MB ram, rev. c ROM (recognizes second hard d…

Didn't the Quad G5's have the max RAM of 16GB? Click to expand... You're right. All the older ones topped out at 4 or 8Gb.

It's cropped up a few times on the Apple Discussions from time to time.

I never heard of that being possible. Maybe you'll want to go with an external solution.

I heard it's plausible but no one has made software for it.

Hi I have a old but cool Powerbook G3 Pismo and an Apple remote. Since the Pismo has an Irda port I wonder if I could pair my remote with my Pismo.

Can you approach it from the server side? Can you add VT emulation config files to your home directory and profile?

I always use a hard disk -- one that is usable but disposable -- for 12V and 5V testing. It is easy to make a test cable (with tapping points to measure voltages) from salvaged wir…

Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clut…

Quad G5 sounds so cool...just to say you have it. Nonetheless, an Intel Mac Pro will be on my radar in the next few months. No immediate plans as they are pricey but just gorgeous.…
