For future reference, if your discs just keep ejecting rather than starting up, try disconnecting the keyboard. I was using a PC keyboard which kept ejecting the drive on boot for…

Nice... I am a HUGE Evangelion fan and have posters all over my walls pertaining to the series. I am trying to track down the "The Rebuild of Evangelion" and think I found a copy …

While my formerly recycled PowerBook G4/500 is disassembled to JB Weld a broken hinge (it was easy to get the display apart, as most of the old adhesive had since lost its grip), I…

Have a Dual 800 pulled from a QS trying to get fully working 100% in a DA anyone have any other suggestions for getting the L3 cache to work/show up? I have done the 12v wire hook…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.

Just the VGA signal. I'm assuming you're talking about a tray load iMac. Click to expand... Why yes. Yes I am [] ]'>

Could anybody tell me how to use Mac-On-Mac. I can't really figure it out. It has very little documentation. Thanks

Is the display cable on the inside that connects to the hunk of iMac carry any electricity or just the VGA signal?

The 9 ROM needs the OS 9 extensions and libs... so you'll get Mac OS 9 in the end.

Well I did the opposite. I placed the Mac OS 9.0.1 ROM image in the 8.6 system folder. It actually booted up with the Mac OS 8.6 welcome screen. That was short lived however, it wa…

G4 Required. The ZIF upgrade will get the system over the line but Apple has removed the kernel extensions for Gossamer and Heathrow so you will still only see a kernel panic. You…

When it does fail, you can hook it up to another monitor, or put it's hard disc into a b/w g3 or similarly old G4 tower.

My Grape iMac's CRT fails? The screen is rather dim but clear, it was burn in a bit. And it sometimes shows up red, witch I know in LCD's that the backlight is going so something e…

Does anyone know what would happen if I was to copy the Mac OS ROM file from the 8.6 CD while started up in 10.3.9 to the OS 9 system folder over the ROM version 9.0.1. Would that …

If it makes you feel any better, all but one of the iceBooks I've purchased from eBay had no less than three replacement Ethernet ID stickers under the keyboard, while some have ha…

Leopard must have a G4 to run but it can run on an upgraded beige: http://lowendmac.com/mail/0801mb/0130.html second letter.

You absolutely need a G4 to run Leopard from what I understand. Luckily you can drop in a G4 ZIF as long as it's 66 MHz bus compatible. The oldest I've heard is Leopard on a G4 up…

I will soon be getting a G3 AIO from Mike (thanks!) and I paln on upgrading it ot at least a 500mhz G3, maybe a 1ghz chip. How can I get leopard to run on this?

thanks anyway

But mine works, just missing the sleep magnet :/

I thought about turning it into a headless server. Chuck a flavor of Linux on it, a DynDNS client and I'd be all set. They are noiseless and don't produce much heat. Hey, actually…
