Or Vista on a PIII

You can drop a G4 in one of these and use Leopard. That's some pretty good longevity. Kind of like Tiger on a 1996-era 7500 with a G3/G4 card.

Just as a heads up, on Jan 5th 1999 was the day the PowerMac G3 blue/white systems were announced. This pertains to the 300, 350 and 400MHz models, although the 450 was really only…

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try and let you know. I already tried unplugging the battery and that wasn't it.

This may be obvious but maybe I missed something... When you added the RAM, did you take out the processor daughter card (it's got that funky heatsink appendage thing with it) to …

Thank you very much for the reply, it cleared a few things up for me. Still how would I be able to play the midi drum set in real time? Just like a real drum set? Through a compu…

Mac MIDI goes to the serial port, not ADB. There are lots of designs out there for making your own interface, or you can hunt one up on ebay for not too many dollars. Forget ProT…

Thanks for reply, thats great news! german is no problem for me neither making my own pcb. Anyway what software do you use with the midi interface, and what hardware do you plug in…

I built two of Mac RS422 to MIDI interface devices using the description given in the c't magazine. This interface works very well (powered from serial port, 1 x MIDI in, 2 x MIDI …

Is the Blue and White PowerMac G4 a previously unknown prototype hidden in Cupertino's labs? Click to expand... It was originally a Rev 1 G3/350, then the motherboard was repla…

I have read reports in the past of the onboard ethernet for Yosemitie and Yikes (the worst culprits) boards going very wrong, it may be time to get a PCI ethernet card. I'm assumi…

For the last few weeks the built-in ethernet on this little beast has not provided an IP address. Renewing the DHCP lease does nothing as well. I've tried different Cat5 ethernet…

Is your memory fast enough? Click to expand... Yes it is, "512 MB 64x64 PC-133 CL2" is what the sticker says. Comes from OWC. i did notice something though. When I put the kerb…

There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still …

Tried disconnecting the PRAM the battery, nothing still. I installed the RAM correctly. I'm still lost!!! I tried checking for things that might be dosconnected, but nothing.
