I got a powerbook G3 lombard here, and its dead as dead can be dead..... Here was the issue. some kind of liquid was spilled in it, and immidiately he pulled the power and battery…

Are you using a video card?

Trying to get said machine on line, and the one problem is that the video image on the monitor is offset to the right by about an inch and a half. I know it's not the monitor, beca…

Ah jt, good to see you getting back to your old mischief :b&w: I'll be watching with interest, but you knew that

Never actually seen a lime or tangerine iMac in real life... oddly enough those would be my first choice after graphite. Click to expand... Wow, my very first Mac was a Lime 26…

The G3 card works *sometimes* in the 7300. I have a 604e in it right now, and you have to press the power button, wait a few second, toggle the power again, before it will show vid…

You have a 9500, does the G3 card work in it? If it works well there then it's likely a problem with your RAM, motherboard or possibly power supply. If it doesn't work all the time…

A 6.5mm stereo headphone jack will fit, but won't line up with the internal contacts. To correct this, I have heard that all you need is a small rubber grommet around the base of …

The pinout is the same as all the Duos and PowerBooks that use a "stereo headphone" plug. Tip - serial data for intelligent PSU, n.c. for other PSUs Ring - Common negative Sleev…

I was messing around with TvPad on my Newton the other day and thought, "Hey, how cool would it be if someone were to write a Newton app that controlled Front Row on the Mac!?" Th…

Wally's ASP OS9 highlights (292/83 MHz 14" model): Memory overview Disk cache: 8160K Virtual memory: 513 MB Used on volume: PwrBkG3_2 Built-in memory: 512 MB Location …

OOPSIE! Forgot to mention the purpose of these shots. Most of the MLA must be scratching their heads and muttering What the . . . :?: In some other threads a few of us were…

Let me know if you need another G3 DaughterCard. I have one for $15 + Shipping I would be willing to send you. Cheapest shipping of course. Already has 400Mhz G3 in it, and has …

I now have a little collection of tray loaders! The Strawberry(pink) Imac is working well, I bumped the ram to 256mb, I use it on the net for a few days and then hitch up the Lime…

I think this is one of the more uncommon colours from the flavour era. Click to expand... I have 2 pink ones, 1 Indgo 1 Blue berry I think the pink ones are more popular

That would explain it. I will confirm it if it works. Right now I am just letting it sit for a couple of weeks before I start to clean and tinker.

Even the 1987 Mac II used a temperature-responsive fan. Clear the dust and blockage away, and that might make the fan throttle down.

Looks like an Inwin case with a custom motherboard tray (they slide out completely so you can put in the motherboard and cards then mount it).

The Mac II and IIx used one version of the PSU; the "real" IIfx used a revised version (with variable speed fans?). Part numbers are:661-0375 Power Supply Mac II, IIx 120watt 661-…

While the G5 can still be useful, there's already an OS and software it won't run. The Mac Mini is faster than his G5. The MacPro of course would be a lot better but it's 4 times t…

What's even more messed up is that right before I graduated, the school bought even more clones and those new clones used a slightly smaller version of the desktop version of that …

I would not switch to a Mac mini: - slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non…

Still going strong, why get a mini? a newer vid card for the G5, more memory and a faster HDD... come to about 250.00 and more speed... That is what I did and my G5 screams... 16…
