What are the specs on your iBook? I have one like it.

It's probably kind of a mixed blessing that it didn't come with a hard drive. My 3400's stock 2gb quantum HD ran REALLY hot, and really loudly compared to the drive I replaced it w…

I'm fairly certain that the PRAM has been removed. It was included in a small bag and it looks like it leaked at some point. I am hoping not inside the unit. Will find out soon …

Sounds like a plan to me! Make sure the power connector hasn't worked a little loose on the MoBo while you're in there. Test the PRAM Battery, maybe?

Picked up a Free Powerbook 3400 that the guy considered non Functional. I turned it on with another power adapter and it booted after holding down the PRAM reset. First time the …

Congrats! Unfortunately, the sound from the LC III means that you have to replace its caps soon. Click to expand... Oh no! I had just guessed it was the hard drive, I hadn't ta…

Memory slot tabs are broken and RAM is held in place with little bit of dough (i think)I will try to remove ALL ram one pair to see if the helps and will add CPU directly to board.…

I was reading some interesting Usenet posts the other day about the maximum clock speeds of a 604 being restricted to 3 times the bus speed.

This is sort of interesting.... The write-up gets the nomenclature wrong, as there never was a 604e that ran at 300Mhz; that distinction belongs to the 604ev, which is a different…

I grew up having used the 475's quite a bit. A good friend of mine had a 575 and I agree those are very neat machines and the display is great. For some reason I really like the 47…

You can use ATX on a tower (will fit fine), but I don't think the desktop version can fit a standard ATX supply in the case.

There are a couple 68040 accelerators for the IIfx, along with the Radius Rocket, thats it.

It might be overheating. The original thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink has almost certainly dried out, if it hasn't been renewed. Also check that the heatsink clip is t…

LEM says not

On a side note. Did they ever make a compatible PPC upgrade for the IIfx? Or is expansion seriously limited due to the unique architecture of the motherboard?

Howdy all I've got a ye olde G3 beige desktop, with a zip drive, 256MB RAM, 8GB disk, etc. OS X 10.2.8. It will work correctly for about 30 mins - an hour, but will then turn off…

That last paragraph is key, and very good news for me, who has a IIfx to get up and running soon.

Make sure you installed the batteries correctly and they're the type that are supposed to be soldered. If I were you, I would install 3.6 V battery holders so you don't have to bo…

I recapped both of my IIx systems and the IIx spare motherboard, they are reliable now. Not realy that many capacitors (or values) needed.

As I have no idea how to test the onboard capacitors I will have to replace them all. oof Click to expand... Well that's a good thing anyway, as they are over 20 years old!
