Trying to compile a system compatibility matrix for floppy media. Technically speaking the beige PowerMac G3 series are the only Macs supported by OS X with a built-in Superdrive a…

I run 10.4 on a 800Mhz G3 iBook and it runs fine. No more sluggish than Jaguar and Panther were.

I have no probs with spotlight on a 466, though dashboard definitely needs to be ditched. Tiger should be right snappy on that unit.

10.4 should be perfectly usable on a 900 MHz iBook. I would probably disable both Spotlight and Dashboard, but even on slow laptop hard disks I know some who persevere with them st…

I was surprised to see that the ibook series stayed with the G3 all the way to 900mhz, and I am just wondering how those run 10.4, and how the high end 900mhz G3 compare against a …

Thank you very much.

I found that last night, sadly, its all slot-load. :-/

I hope nobody mind some french speaking around here… Salut Joël, je vois que tu as trouvé la source! Tu es entre de bonnes mains, y a des mecs vraiment balèzes par ici, pour t…

I need the service manual. Serching high and low only gives me the slot load. I have removed the CRT completely and now I don't remember what the non standard looking cables are an…

I would try it again with your cd on one ata master and 80 gig on other ata master, and your os9 boot as slave to the cd. It should boot from os9 then run xpf and then it will reb…

You'll need the adapter dongle that originally came with the 2100 if you want to do cabled transfers. Personally I'd avoid all that malarky and download NCX. WiFi transfers are m…

You'll need this software http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/connection/ or a similar program and I would imagine a USB to ADB http://www.welovemacs.com/adapters-adb-adapters.html c…

Hello, I bought a Newton MessagePad 2100 and i really like this PDA but i don't know how to connect it to my PowerBook G4 Ti 667 VGA running Mac OS 10.4.11 because i haven't got a…

Looks like completely disconnecting the pMU did wonders! It boots now!

I downloaded xpostfacto and tried to install tiger on my machine with the dvd drive I installed. It installed some files on the new hard drive I installed then rebooted and the scr…

You might have better luck in the trading post rather than here.

It ended at AUD $664.32. I sure hope the person who bought knew about this item in-depth, otherwise he's in for some real disappointment!

True, but I would like to use OS 7 (which can't happen on a G3)

If you would like extra speed and battery life, I would recomend the G3. I used to have one, which didn't cost me too much, and the single battery would last a good few hours. As n…

I honestly don't know if this is worth it except to hardcore collectors. The IIc lcd is really quite horrible to actually use, almost unusable I'd say. If you must have a nice clas…

Fail. Plan B...

Oh yeah, I noticed that I have two devices on one IDE channel, the CD drive and the Zip drive. I'm thinking about swapping the zip drive for the hard drive and seeing if it recogni…

Try VLC? Click to expand... VLC is OS X only and will not work under OS9. I wish it did though. Click to expand... xx(
