Congrats! IIci's are one of the best classic Macs ever IMO. Your IIci seems to be an ex-internal Apple computer, which is even more cool. :O

Just joined here after acquiring my IIci. My second mac, after a core duo macbook. Kinda fun to play around with. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next…

Doesn't it have clips on the under-side of the board? (All of the 5x00/6x00 machines I've had do).

No OS X? How can you stand it?! At LEAST upgrade to Panther!

A while back, I determined that the installation issues with my PM 5500/250 I had were due to dried CPU grease. I'm stuck on how to take out the heatsink and fan assembly though. A…

From personal experience, a Sonnet Tempo SATA card will boot just great to OS 9 or any version of OS X.

Trash don't do OS X Click to expand... You got dat right! :approve: I'll look into all the different SATA <-> whatever adapters and install one. It took over tw…

What's the best version of Word for Mac to run in Mac OS 10.4.11? I was going to poke around and see if I could find a used copy of Office 2003, but I want to make sure that's the …

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... Dunno, ask alk, my guess would be VRAM . . . :-/ . . . and maybe the LCD ASIC. Whatcha want, egg in your…

If you're running at least Tiger, my experience is that almost any cheap-o USB 2.0 card for PCs will work just fine in a Mac. Virtually any FireWire 400 card will work fine.

Thanks, Never, that is exactly the advice I was looking for. I do have Word 98 and it runs in classic mode on this Pismo, but I'm having odd trouble with key delay and repeating le…

Hi, I use a 20" G4 iMac and 12" G4 PowerBook both running Tiger's last update that you mention, 10.4.11, and running Office 2004 for Mac's Word, as well as Excel and PowerPoint. I …

It would only be piracy if you used the CD or DVDs to install the same software license on TWO machines at the same time. Click to expand... What if he installs Tiger on a Powe…

I dont know from a os-mac-ect perspective, but 2000, and 2003 are good office packages, 2007 is good too, if you get used to that (whatever they call it) interface and set all the …

There's no USB2.0 support under OS 9. I'm not sure of the situation with SATA cards, but a little searching would probably turn up something. Try xlr8yourmac and the apple suppor…

Mustang EVT PtotoBook I guess it's fitting that “my Eleanor” is the Mustang EVT, the prototype of a souped up 5300ce. I've had two run-ins with this machine of myth. The first tim…

Yes there was - it was briefly marketed as an upgrade for the Beige G3 (not slot compatible with AGP graphics G4s). I think it was pulled for power and/or reliability issues. You…

...but upgrading would require pulling money out of my MacBook savings!

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…
