I tried reseating the chips and no luck. I'm not sure how to clean the sockets honestly. The problem is also present on the composite output. The monitor is an Apple RGB monitor …

I think this is on! Perhaps June will be PowerPC month .

Looks like the AppleColor RGB monitor the IIgs is paired with normally. There is no character ROM on a IIgs, it is stored in the main ROM. Have you performed a self-test? Hold down…

I use my 3 G4 iBooks (2), PowerBook (1) and my G4 Tower for everything everyday since I acquired them long ago. I do have a iMac Intel Mini but do not have a working PSU for it. S…

What kind of monitor is this? Have you tried it on a Composite Monitor? If not, check your VGA Settings. 

Hi folks... I have a technical question (?) on Chris Lawson's VGA mod of the Color Classic.: http://colourclassicfaq.com/general/vga.html First, I would like to quote a post mad…

I'd remove the socketed chips, clean contacts and reseat first

I've had a "Mystic" VGA-modded Colour Classic with LC575 board which has been running fine for a decade, and it's one of my most used 68K Macs.  I was also given a "Takky" VGA-modd…

You can find 10" "flatscreen" monitors out there, but you'll have two problems to overcome. The flat screen won't fit the very curvy bezel that housed the very not-flatscreen Sony …

Well it increases the current tails in the horizontal output circuitry so it swings the beam harder.  But the problem with this, it adds stress to the sweep circuitry so eventuall…

My main machine is an upgraded Quicksilver G4, which I am using right now. With a 1.6ghz 7447A, a SATA card( with 10000rpm WD's), a Radeon 9000 and an usb card, it can handle youtu…

I thought about this. Can you tell me which one is it? Just so you know, I also replaced the VGC chip and it made no difference. Thanks!! Pitou

My guess would be something with the character ROM?

Hello, I have an issue with an Apple IIgs. The text is kind of doubled in Text mode. When I boot a system disk, in graphic mode, everything is fine. I have some experience in elec…

Well, it *is* a challenge after all. 

when i use my 1.42 Ghz iBook G4 with maxed out RAM the machine does ok with youtube sometimes its a little strange though

I have read that the flyback transformer in the Color Classic was slightly undersized to began with.  And then, because of venting issues, it became slightly hotter then it would l…

A few months ago.

I used my 1 GHz TiBook for awhile, but it got rather frustrating, because it kept kernel panicking if I did anything intensive (which brought up the temperatures, making me think i…

I don't own a CC and haven't done this modification, but I've looked at the horizontal sweep circuits of the B&W compacts in some detail. I think the CRT shouldn't be your…

Well I paid US$70-80 for it, like 10 months ago! Edit: When did you buy yours?

Kinda high IMO. I paid $20 for my 500MHz unit, in mint condition. Just had a dead PRAM preventing boot.

What about http://www.gainsaver.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?&CCode=1015^Apple&CCode=3398^Mac+Laptops&ACode=G4&CCode=3407^PowerBooks&cICode=43669…

10.4 and 10.5 won't be amazing on it since that GPU doesn't support CoreImage and it's capped at 1GB ram, but it would probably be a fairly good challenge.

Would a Titanium PowerBook G4 work? 867 MHz/1 GHz. Can boot every Mac OS from 9 to 10.5!
