Also tried installing OS 9 from the iBook, using Target Disk Mode (mounted the Pismo drive on the iBook's desktop), but the installer stalled when checking the disk! What can I do?…

@sircabulon: no, my disks are retail versions, although one says "PowerMac G4 install", and the other "iMac install" on the volume name. But they installed perfectly on the G3 iBoo…

do your discs say "iBook" anywhere on them?

I have just grown accustomed to keeping the tray loading drive in unless i actually need to burn a disc.

Did you use the startup disk prefpane? Also try key combination Apple+option+shift+delete to ignore the internal HD at startup. Holding C often times doesn't work from my experie…

Did you try holding down Option after the machine was turned on/restarted with the CD in the drive? It should pop up with that menu that presents a choice between boot devices. If…

Hello all, I'm having some trouble on installing Mac OS 9 on my Pismo. Recently I downgraded the thing from Tiger to Panther (it was dragging itself in every app, although it has …

Thanks very much!

The crack that has just appeared in the tiny strip of plastic in the center of the front edge, between the clicker and the latch, this bothers me more. I shoulda got a bezel in th…

Anyone have any expereince upgrading their Cube's video card? Mine's got the stock Rage128. I saw a couple of articles on other sites, but wondered if you fine people have done "…

Ah, sweet. I just also discovered ADTPro, which works a treat on the platinum. It's kinda like the A2GS except you need a disk drive, but I do like the loading of prodos over seria…

Dust bothers me. I have a cat sitting on my lap as I type. He likes to sniff at the exposed CD drive when it's spinning. This, too, bothers me.

I also would like to see this become an open source project, which it is not as of now. Click to expand... It is now. Blurry has bounced back and forth a bit between Sourcefor…

As for the games, I think they are fixed, which is too bad because I could see this as huge potential for other apps, not just games. Click to expand... That's exactly what I w…

Yeah, the lighting made it tricky to see, next time just put on a desk lamp. Though great video!

yeah, I was using the camera on my PSP, and I remember it telling me it ran out of space. If I had a bigger memory card, I would be able to do a longer version. As for the games, …

Pretty cool, though the video cuts off early. Does the game server allow you to add your own games or is the list fixed?

I finally got this working!! For anyone who is curious as to what it looks like, I made a video of it on youtube. It's running on my Platinum //e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X…

Ya, I'm pretty sure that most are either hacks or sold together with a drive as an upgrade/complete kit (from the likes of MCE). I'm content to leave mine exposed. But then, rough…

I have the same challenge before me. I'm considering taking the existing bezel and Dremeling a slot in it, or moulding a new one out of something or other.

I've had this happen before and it seems to be caused by humidity or getting dirty. Especially if your hands aren't completely dry or have something on them. I've heard that loti…

Not that I have ever heard of. Maybe MCE?

Try downloading Sidetrack. You can set parameters for how much forgiveness it has for spurious trackpad signals.

Is there any place to get a slot loading bezel for a Lombard/Pismo expansion bay?
