First a bit of back story - Skip ahead if you want to get to the goods
I did some work for a local church years back involving restoring a few older computers (Pentium IIs and …
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!
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.
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…
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…

Really! 8-o
I thought that they were worth a little more than that, considering that it's working.

Once again mars478, you've failed to have patience. All you had to do was let that machine sit for 1-2 weeks to completely dry out and adjust to room temperature. In trying to test…
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…
I was just trying to offer some advice for him as I felt that the drying time was not long enough.
That and I was just trying to flesh out what the poster above me was saying, is …
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…
