I have a dual 1ghz quick silver with 1.5gigs of ram and it can't do any 720p video i have tried I mainl tried 720p mkv files. It was close, but it skipped and if video doesn't play…

Um.... What about the 68kMLA Wiki?

That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which versio…

Good IDEA!

What if there was a wiki about old macs where we combined Jag's House, Gamba, and others links into one place to make finding info easier? It would be similar to the 68kMLA wiki b…

One little loophole for those who want to upgrade an x100 to 9.1 and don't have a 9.1 CD - remove the HDD from the Mac and connect it to a newer machine, and run the OS 9.1 updater…

Sawtooth's are great machines. Mine is a 450MHz machine and it runs Tiger quite nicely. While I would like to upgrade it, I won't. Why? I mainly use it for OS 9. That OS just fl…

I'm late to this party. So the object is to run both the Duo's LCD and an external monitor plugged into the dock? I thought the dock & mini-dock had their own video chip &a…

The 6100 supports up to 9.1, but you must install it from a 9.1 disc. You cannot boot a 6100 from a 9.0 install disc (even a retail one), so you can't install 9.0 or update to 9.1 …

I think the PMU may have been corrupted also. I know you have reset it but maybe not waited the 5 seconds. Here is the power manager reset for the Lombard: PowerBook G3 Series (…

I personally only care up to the point that it helps keep the community active and it is nice to see people doing this sort of thing. But aside from that it is hard to get involved…

There's some issues with it due to hardware incompatibilities (I think it's based off the SAM440ep install disc), but it'd be fun to at least get some form of AmigaOS4 running on a…

While you're trying out stuff, you could also give the hacked AmigOS 4.0 install CD that works on the G4 Mac Mini a go. See how well it works. I got it off your server so you shoul…

All you are doing is taking off the very thin layer of yellowed exposed surface, which after a few years will yellow again anyway. The bad part is you can expose blotchyness and mo…

Use to have this problem on CRT monitors when using certain adapters, or having the refresh rate set to a rate the monitor could not deal with. Problem was fixed by simply changing…

It really is worth it. Click to expand... I concur.

If you turn the computer on with the back removed in a darkened room, can you see a blue electrical discharge ("corona discharge") around the top of the EHT transformer? If so, th…

Follow-up in a year or two, and then maybe I'll consider if there's still no reports of brittleness or cracking. Click to expand... What's with the continued fears here? To me…

No, I haven't seen any evidence of that. The screen's bright and clear; there was no wobble at all, as far as I could tell. If a deaf man were to start up the Plus, he would perc…

thats not really fair, an extra year or 2 on already decomposing ~20 year old plastic Its just removing a thin film of chemicals that have already leeched out of the plastic onto …

For the skeptics and hold-outs... CAN RETROBRIGHT REALLY MAKE PLASTICS BRITTLE? If the plastic had become dangerously brittle due to RetroBright deyellowing, you would expect that…

Can't beat the price! If you end up with an empty 5x0 after all this, hands up for the shell. Click to expand... I would like to see a picture of your workshop, Bunsen. And a …

Depends on the nature of the "fizzling" sound. Could be a grounding problem. If the sound reoccurs, try opening it up and loosening and retightening the grounding plate screws and…

That's sort of the case with my Performa 578. Except, the fizzling sound stops when you have an active window open on the desktop - if you don't, then the fizzling sound returns.
