yes it was 225.00 USD... I been checking them out on ebay and some (like what I just bought today) go for 600.00 and up...
and they want 50.00 or 60.00 for shipping...
If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…
5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…
I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…
The .pkg"->ncu is new to me. I have used Packtype (and occasionally Packager) for years, but had never heard of the other utility. Thanks for the lead.
The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…
The name of the application you want is called, with the quote marks ".pkg"->NCU just as stated above, its drag and drop and works flawlessly. Its easily one of the greates…
I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed.
I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me.
I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis card …
None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…

You probably need the packager or packtype utility, for which Google is your friend. Something happens in the download these days, even on MacOS9, which corrupts the file.
Very si…
As you may have seen in the Conquests forum, I just got an eMate 300, which is my first Newton. I ask that you please bare with me, as I am a total Newton noob.
I found some pa…
but the only thing is that this G3 AIO used to install 10.2 natively... not anymore... and I cannot figure it out...
I was running Xpostfacto with 10.3.9 then I wiped the HDD and …
Don't know why you never saw that message before, but it's true - the beige G3s need to have OS X installed in the first 8GB of the drive.
Re-partition the drive into two partitio…
since doing a cpu upgrade to my powermac G3 AIO.... I was going to sell it but decided to keep it. I formatted the drive, zeroed out all data... installed OS 9.2.2 then went to ins…
Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…
Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…
Monolingual.app will remove Intel or PPC code as well as unwanted languages.
From the terminal, ditto will also remove an architecture. For example to thin iTunes:

I have often heard the claim that the Apple /// was intentionally crippled, usually for marketing reasons and always with the implication that it did not have to be done. But is t…
