just didn't know if there was a good Apple monitor from the mid-90's... Click to expand... Oh sure, there are some good monitors. Really, anything *EXCEPT* the MS 15" is good. …

And also this may be unecessary but they have to be 5 1/4' diskettes.

Any DSDD (Double-sided, double-density) disks should work. Click to expand... Exactly. Sectored-ness (hard or soft) is irrelevant in the Apple's case. Just avoid HD ('High De…

My school still uses some G3 iBooks and I see this hapenning to them VERY soon... And I'll have to arm up with a heat gun. I was trying to fix the BGA by putting a small candle cu…

I'll always love the iBooks though and look forward to the day when I finally have the resources to repair one. (I can do the BGA's on the GPU, just not that little sub-processor c…

I'd be trying another monitor. Seriously, as Gil said, the MS 15" displays were shocking, even back in the day. I bet if you try another monitor, you'll find that there is nothing …

Mine's on its last legs, it's fallen apart and the solder joints have fractured numerous times... it packed up again today. However I still love the computer for the times it did w…

So I picked up an Apple IIe with a Disk ][ from the local Goodwill. I want to buy some disks to use, but my google-fu is failing me. I seem to recall that it requires hard sectore…

(just noticed this may be in the wrong forum, sorry...) I just grabbed a cheap 6400/180 (see post in conquests), came with an M2943 multiple scan monitor. All seems to work well, …

I installed 10.3.9 with xpostfacto things seem to be good, just waiting on my G4 400 CPU. it is alot snappier with 10.3.9 with the G3 @ 400 mhz...

Also as a personal touch for my mommy I modded the glowing apple and made it pink! Looks pretty awesome. Tiger runs on this thing like a champ. Looks brand new now except for 2 …

Congrats on the iBook! Hope yours fairs better than mine did...mine was plagued with problems since the start, and it finally failed a few months ago with the infamous GPU issue.

I used to have a 1.33GHZ iBook, that was a champ and served me awesomley. Great laptops!

check the jumper settings on the drive... It's been a while since i played with scsi stuff, but there might be more than just the scsi id jumpers? Maybe you need to terminate the …

I've got a partially restored Quadra 700. It came with nothing, no RAM, floppy drive, hard drive, or even internal device cables. It now has all the internal devices, maximum RAM…

Congrats! I love my G3 iBook. Has served me well for almost 7 years now and recently got a brand new battery.

I also fixed the KeyBoard by using keys from an old iBook G3 Keyboard. It is now like a hybrid clear and solid keyboard. Very cool. Kinda like Coius's PowerBook Bronze keyboard mod…

The TiBook will be my secondary Laptop, in case my MSI Wind Fails. Also may be my video editing machine if it is 867MHZ or higher. Don't know what model it is.

Lucky! Those are one of the most reliable of iBooks. What are your plans for the TiG4 when you get that?
