well i have OS X 10.3.9 on it now with an OS 9 complement. I tried apple's terminal commands after making a backup of the file that the commands were supposed to change which was …

As for the random terminal sleep issues, some machines can be pretty bad, particularly if they use the magnetic sleep switches. For the Wallstreet, if some hard drives are install…

almeath, If you do decide to try the open firmware trick to flash using the older 2.4 firmware, you may want to first read the cubeowner forum post where Pareis describes his disc…

almeath, The fact that your Sawtooth has boot rom v3.3.4 got me thinking last night about this very question, can trying to revert to an earlier version of the firmware make the m…

The eMac repair program has been going on long before the iPhone 3G was on sale... And before the 1st Gen iPhone was introduced in fact... Click to expand... Do you think I don…

The eMac repair program has been going on long before the iPhone 3G was on sale... And before the 1st Gen iPhone was introduced in fact...

They most likely did it because the eMacs have known issues that Apple originally refused to cover under warranty until they were threatened with legal action. They most likely did…
