Dead G4 (Sawtooth) AGP — #5
The PMU of the Sawtooth and later Macs is a little more all-encompassing than the PMUs of older PowerBooks. Newer PMUs are rather more wide-ranging, and Apple describes them as 'c…

I just caught up on this thread. I'm going to have to dig up some of my supposedly "dead" beige motherboards and try TechTool on them. Thanks for the tip Driverguru.

It was the IDE interface. What makes me 100% sure is that it connected in a different spot on the motherboard as the 270c's hard drive -- a spot that was absent in the 270c but pr…

Was that on the SCSI or the IDE header?
The reason I ask is that if it was a SCSI disk, it's very likely (at that size) that it's a…

I'm taking the plunge one step at a time -- Just bought a CF-IDE adapter, etc. and will see how that goes. Next step would be the battery re-cell, then the RAM. I'm not sure if I…

I wouldn't paint it unless it needs the paint, as that would basically kill it as a mint specimen.
As for the CF card, a re-celled battery and more ram, it's a question of how dee…
