I've never dealt with an AGP Mac before, but I know for a fact that a PC with an AGP slot will quite happily run with only a PCI video card, so I can't see how a Mac would be any d…

Via a local kijiji seller: a 400MHz G4 AGP Graphics with 1GB RAM and a nice, quiet 20GB hard drive. It was filthy (smoker and dust) so it was disassembled and washed and is drying …

There were a handful of external monitor adapters for the SE but they were nothing like the ones made for the SE/30. One was by Radius for use with their portrait monitor. There wa…

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch... I could have sworn I read somewhere that openSUSE was dropping PPC support. Ubuntu is community-maintained now, but it's very formidable (I recomm…

You can put linux on about anything Some toasters, some fridges, my old 386-16. My oldest mac with linux was a Performa 6300 I think. Been a long time since I booted that mac…

Do not remove the band -- there's no non-destructive way to do it, and no real non-destructive way to reuse it, unfortunately.

I get the idea some people here only use Classilla occasionally, when they're using their older Macs. I just wanted to mention that I use my old Mac (8500 upgraded with 400 MHz Son…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

I've actually found Netscape 7.02 pretty darn usable on my Wallstreet. The integrated chat and email still work and I rarely get a crash.

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something?

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…

dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

I still say Suse Linux PPC is the way to go. Many things JUST WORK right of the box with that Distro. Ubuntu is good as well. Arch Linux, and then if you want to customize EVERY…

I am sure you are sick and tired of hearing this, but the fact that you are re-working such a key piece of software for the (real) Macintosh platform is hugely appreciated. Classic…
