I'm super bored and I have no other use for this eMac right now. So why not let people log into it with VNC and mess around with OS X? 75.17.80.165 port 5901 (display 1) No pas…

That sounds... really unlikely, but that's just me.

The eMac repair program has been going on long before the iPhone 3G was on sale... And before the 1st Gen iPhone was introduced in fact... Click to expand... Do you think I don…

What's cool is neither eMac qualified under the program but Apple fixed them anyway because they did exhibit the actual problem, which is the bulging capacitors. Click to expand…

They most likely did it because the eMacs have known issues that Apple originally refused to cover under warranty until they were threatened with legal action. They most likely did…

The date on my boot ROM is 8 August 2000 - definitely late in the producton run for a 400mhz model. I'm ready to run ROM update 2.4 (3.2.4) using open firmware, but I have a quest…

Typing this on a 1.42 GHz eMac, one of four I got in a pallet along with other stuff for about $25 total. Apple has fixed two eMacs free of charge after I called their support lin…

all of it works on my beige with an ATI 9200 in it. Looking at the dates, this computer came out in 99 and apple didn't take Open GL until later. Click to expand... Yeah, but …

According to the Japanese site that lists the various Sawtooth boot rom versions, $0003.31f1 (v3.3.1) appeared on the Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet model. Technically, I would cons…

Thank you ccmac for your extremely detailed responses. I was tempted to put this one into the "too hard" basket, but this has roused my curiosity now. I'm going to keep at this for…

You should be able to temporarily disable Energy Saver by holding shift at startup, though. Have you tried this yet? If it works fine with out extensions, you can do a split-half…

Well thought. If Energy Saver is doing the dirty in this case, the most certain salvation is going to be to get hold of the PB's HDD in SCSI Disk Mode (or Target Disk Mode in this…

Tiger didn't have the greatest support for aged ATI chipsets. Perhaps you should try a downgrade to Panther - that version essentially uses modified OS 9 drivers/resource files for…

The Lombard has an ATI 3D accelerated chipset Click to expand... Yeah, but there a varying degrees of acceleration and of OpenGL support...

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the graphics cards in these old Powerbooks have any 3D acceleration to speak of, and they do only have 8MB of VRAM. Have you checked the sy…

I have never been able to open Those Apps. They are only games though, but I would still like them to work. Stepmania and supertux are two that just open, readjust the resolution…

The drive is in, but the bezel fits not. I believe this, and my habit of two-fisted typing with my Mac on my lap has caused enough case flex to lead to the appearance of said crac…

Did it previously do so? The Lombard's graphics card is its most outdated component.

My Lombard (400 Mhz) Will not open anything that uses Open GL. Anyone know a fix? I am running Tiger.
