You can't use a mini VGA --> VGA adapter as this results in washed out colours.

Remember the pinouts posted on bodnar's site are for a completely different model - the ATI-based eMac 800Mhz+. The nVidia-based eMac 700/800Mhz models are different beasts comple…
I really do want to go for a case that looks... good. :lol: So there's no chance it'll be a classic Mac case. Besides, if I found a 610/660/6100 case I have a 6100 board that nee…
Would it fit in an LC case?

The board is probably about the same size as a Macintosh LC board, but there is nowhere near enough room in there for an optical …
hey're marked as "L" on the circuit board, so I assume that's what they are). How often do those things go bad? Do they hiss/whistle?

For the slimline case:
Pros:
*Custom goodness for you to have your way with.
*Small form
*Easily transportable
*Not super heavy
*Cooler running
Cons:
*No more integral disp…

Hack it into a slimline case. The CRT is dodgy and you've already damaged the Airport slot, so use it as an opportunity to build something different. And treat it as a learning exe…

1.42ghz eMacs? Not a bad spec at all, my friend. 133mhz frontside bus with DDR memory and a 1.42ghz G4 is by no means a slouch of a system.
The eMac that does boot could just need…
I was playing around with the Emac that did boot and the video came on. It boots to the loading screen and stays there. The apple screen with the spinning pinwheel. Left it runn…
See if you can get one working unit. From there see if the problems are related to one specific component. The G3 iMacs commonly bad flyback transformers which would allow the comp…
This link sources a few different places you can get it. Also for a few different Apple laptops. I went with Digikey.

That battery reset actually is written for the clamshell as well. But thats the only iBook compatible.

My thoughts exactly. I had Leopard on my dual 450 G4 with 1.12GB of ram and the Radeon 7000, it was alright, but it gets annoying after a while. Leopard seems to chew on hard drive…

Tried it on a G4 450 with PCI Radeon Mac Edition + 1GB RAM. It ran like an absolute dog compared to 10.4. It's not especially fast on my 1.33 Ghz G4 and that's way above the spec…
AFAIK, there is no reset app on the clamshell -- the one that I'm familiar with works with the earlier G3 powerbooks. On the clamshell, only an extension gets installed, and it's …
Folks,
I have the same problem as Didius, but different.
Couple of months ago, I rescued a 'dead' iBook (G3/300) at an AUSOM meeting, I was told by the person that gave it to me,…
It was a very good deal. My Pismo is so much brighter now! It also was becoming a bit pink in the left corner which was a sign that it maybe wouldn't have lasted a whole lot long…
