Very nice. If I may ask though, why 10.2.8? A machine like that is just crying for 10.3 or 10.4...not to mention that you'll be able to run more modern software, too

Nice. I love my BeigeG3MT. Maybe not as much as my 8500, but still plenty of love left over for sharing.

ReallyCool Dude! Talk like that got me almost ran off another fourm.The G5 Intel Elite would tell you to kick that crap to the curb like they did me. I say stick it to the man an…

Over the past couple days or so I've been working on a G3 mini tower I picked up on ebay for $30 shipped. So far all I've done is clean it up a bit, get it running, and check to se…

I do it on my iMac all the time. Power: i would hope so Mini-DVI: connected to 18"CRT Ethernet: wired to PowerMac G4 for uber fast transfers Firewire 800: don't have anything t…

Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use. Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back: Power: Duh! Ethernet: Crossover cable to a customer's laptop, with the MacBook acting as a bridge…

I had all the ports of my PowerBook 150 (SCSI Ethernet, Localtalk to PB 180 and Power). I also had all the ports on my Acer Aspire One filled (Power, VGA, Ethernet, USB DVD-ROM, i…

Just another one of those curiosity threads, but who has actually managed to use all the ports on their 'Book? I just managed it a little earlier, and things got a little scrambled…

Yes, please clarify that. Thanks!

AFAIK, the Pismo has only one CCFL, at the bottom. In fact, I can't think of a 'book of that age that uses more than one. Coius -- do you have a list of which "older" books you're…

meh, for that price, you can't go wrong. Also, doing a replacement on backlights is a BIG thing. Very hard to do, so if you aren't in for spending a few hours doing it, go ahead. …

I'm going to take the plunge and get a backlight for my Pismo. Does this look like a trustworthy seller? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-LCD-CCFL-Backlight-APPLE-Powerbook-G3-14-1-WXGA_W0…

G4s in (most) any form are great machines. I'm still rocking out with a dual 500MHz G4 tower as my main desktop, happily chugging away at Leopard. My main portable is also a PowerB…

My presto plus in the CC worked fine. But as stated I sold My CC on ebay... just too many computers on my desk... I kept my G4 Dual 1.42 and got rid of everything else.. the CC, e…

I use my QS 1ghz DP as a webserver, but before I got my Mac pro I used it daily - it was plenty capable in leopard!

Speaking of Photoshop... I don't think that would be a problem, even CS4 should be able to run fairly well if my experiences with it on Windows machines translate over (I'm runnin…

^^does it have the LC040 or the full 040 with FPU. I'd stick it in the CC, the speed boost and extra RAM will make it a sweet little machine. As for the OP's question, the 9700 i…

The 9700 Pro was a great card for the PC, should be great for a mac too. What do you think of that Presto Plus in the Color classic? I have a Presto plus in a LC 550 and was wonde…

What does everyone think of a Radeon 9700 Pro? Any good? I Bought one on ebay the other day.

If there are no drivers and the Mac doesn't recognize it at all, then unfortunately the only workaround will be to find a different wireless adapter. One that I use with a lot of s…

To clarify: 800k floppies were used on even older Macs than the 636. They're different to PC 720k floppies and not interchangeable. The USB floppy drives will only read and writ…
