how can i partition my hd without deleting the info mac 10.4.X

I have the full 1GB in my B&W so I know what you mean.

haha it is all pretty much nostalgia, but it is my hobby! My beige is 128MB of being maxed out!

Yes g4's exist for Nubus, a slow one not worth bothering with (240Mhz?). Any apps that would make use of a G4 would choke on a Nubus machine. If you already have the CPU then stic…

You can slap a G4 into an old Nubus PPC machine and it will still be slow Click to expand... You can get a G4 for a nubus mac?????

to coiusI also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work be…

if it still doesnt work, you should try the atx power supply hack. although it might just be safer to get your hands on something like a quicksilver or some g4 with a bigger power…

Very nice!!

Thu. Sep 4th 2008 12:40 AM - Up & Running I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…

The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…

Choose an iMac with USB, and then get any of many USB/serial adapters. Keyspan springs readily to mind, and they have been at it since at least 1998. The adapters fetch up to USD…

I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I'm thinking of getting an older iMac, so I can retire my aging 9500.. I like using my laserwriter 16/600...and stylewriter 2400... but you can't use 'em offhand with the imac...…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.

haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

On the other hand, what is it with beige motherboards dying? I replaced the one in mine twice over the years. Both times the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 bootin…

If you really just want to own a G3 iMac, and particularly if it's one of the more collectable color variations, like "Flower Power" or "Blue Dalmation", sure, go ahead. Try not to…

My recent switch from three 500MHz/1GB iMacs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger to a single G4 DA (quickly upgraded from 466 to 533 to 733MHz) was to be able to drive a 20-in ADC di…

Say what? I distinctly recall MacAddict doing an article on various machine upgrades. They upgraded on and painted it to look like a marshall amp. Click to expand... That was …

You can test the Lombard internal fan by itself. Disconnect it and make a drawing of the three wire colors and where they go into the plug housing. Then if necessary remove the c…

Perhaps you can find a 5V point somewhere and connect the internal fan directly to that. Maybe on the USB port. It won't be temperature controlled, but at least it'll run. It wo…

I finally have my Lombard up and running (mostly). However it will overheat if left alone since the cooling fan never comes on. Currently I'm using one of those PC slot fans to d…

AvalancheSJ, it's still worth shopping around for a cheap G4 as you should be able to find one in your price bracket if you hunt. The FSB does make a fair bit of difference and th…
