Dead Pismo! — #4

Awesome find! Yea I got two Pismos (since sold one) that were both DOA but I unplugged the PRAM battery and they work! The 500 mHz's are the best and harder to find, congrats!

Dead Pismo! — #3

You were right! I unplugged the pram battery and it booted right up!! It has 256mb of ram and is 500mhz!! The harddrive I put in is 20gb with O.S.9.2. I will get a new p…

Remove the PRAM battery. It may be too dead and will cause it to not boot. Just remove the keyboard and the CD/DVD drive and you will see it on the right hand side.

Dead Pismo! — #1

Just picked up a very nice looking pismo. The first one I have had! No hardrive. Plugged it in. Nothing. Checked and reset the ram, added a hardrive. Checked all the cables unde…

G4 MDD 1.25Ghz — #10

I don't think "HD 1080" and "G4" can be said in the same sentence; you basically need an Intel Mac to do this sort of stuff. Still, it makes for a wonderful server/general use mac…

Mac-VGA adaptor help! — #15

IIRC, there was something funky about the video signal and PRAM batteries on the pizzaboxen. Search posts by Danamania and whatever other teems might be necessary to find the answe…

AlphaSmart — #2

I used to use an AlphaSmart 3000 (translucent case, released around the same time as the iMac) in elementary and middle school, because of my poor ability to write. They are pretty…

Well the adapter worked before... Click to expand... Try multiple VGA monitors.

The original beige model; got it for free! It doesn't work ATM though.

Apple 2GS Woz — #7

It'd probably be worth more if it still has the original letter from Woz.

G4 MDD 1.25Ghz — #9

They can handle HD right? If so then that could be a set top box. Put 3 500GB drives and you're set. :beige:

Apple 2GS Woz — #5

Would the keyboard, mouse, and monitor add any value to it?

Apple 2GS Woz — #4

I was willing to pay up to $40 for one. Now I might not get it. :'( Click to expand... If you're willing, and you want it, then go ahead. Just beware that you would likely b…

Apple 2GS Woz — #3

Really! 8-o I thought that they were worth a little more than that, considering that it's working. I was willing to pay up to $40 for one. Now I might not get it. :'( How…

Apple 2GS Woz — #2

About $10. Unless you're some sort of insane Apple-collecting freak, then God only knows how much it's "worth."

Apple 2GS Woz — #1

How much would a Apple 2GS Woz edition be worth with a 2.5" and 5.25" floppy drives and nice condition case? Thanks

7100 vs 6100 — #16

That shouldn't be a problem. I've got a box here with darn near 100 sticks of 72-pin RAM. Should the OP need some, I am more than sure could dig him up a pair of matched 32MB or ma…

G4 MDD 1.25Ghz — #8

Those are great machines. I bet OS 9 at 1.58GHz flies! A dual CPU upgrade would make OS X feel like butter on that machine. If you have cash, I wonder if you could get a SATA car…
