I liked my iBook G3 while it worked. The dreaded GPU issue is now showing it's ugly head. I thought about repairing the mobo, but the hinge is also bent. Being a G3 I will more th…

Even Tantalum capacitors have a service life just like Aluminum electrolytic. While the aluminum ones might leak with age they generally fail open (no big deal) while tantalums fai…

One last question - wouldn't Tantalum capacitors normalize the audio to an extent because of their high ESR ratings? Click to expand... If you had actually used the 'Search' fe…

Yeah, I was thinking that it would be better to buy a 2.5mm minijack socket rather than desolder it from the iLamp board, but it's all a bit of a moot point anyway because I sold o…

Question then comes down to. What I am thinking of that requires hard sectored disks. Click to expand... I can't imagine what you're thinking of. ;-) Hard sectoring refers t…

Nice! I remember when those first came out. :beige:

Posting from my Cube now. It was loaded with 10.4.something, and Software Update is doing its magic in the background. Seems like this came along just in time, as my iMac has jus…

P.S.: I remember there was a little piece of software called "Disk Light". It does exactly what the name says, i.e. it visualises the harddisk access with the impression of a flic…

Consider to stick with System 7.1 for the PB 180. I think it feels more snappy and runs very reliable. It is possible to replace several extensions or control panels with more re…

The new Sandisk Extreme III CF card (specified transfer rate 30 Mb/s) should do well, as it supports UDMA. This thing is pretty fast, better than any old harddisk drive. The 2 GB…
