Hey, If you want, you can HAVE my iBook. It is a 500MHz. say $120 +the price of shipping?

If yours is also the GPU's departure from this hateful existence, or at least a letting go from the MLB, find trag's post here about using modelling clay to protect adjacent compon…

If you have nothing to lose, might as well try the "home BGA reflow" procedure. Get yourself a heat gun and some bourbon (ok, sake will do). The drink's for you, the heat gun's for…

So my G3 800 iBook's logic board bought the farm the other day. This is the second one it's had, too. Of course Apple's repair program has long ended, so now I have a scratched, wh…

For 8.6 and later MOM/MOL doesn't need a ROM image.

My assumption would be that you can't use a 68k ROM with a PPC emulator... good luck, as you'll need somebody to rip a ROM image from an older PPC mac, maybe a 8100? Or even better…

If I get this up and running, I'll definitely keep an eye out for an upgrade kit, equant -- thanks. It is too bad that the TCP/IP connection isn't persistent; I wonder why they mad…

I've had an eMate for well I don't know. I got it new after they discontinued, so 10 years? I've used it for many things, and am quite fond of it. I do think the HWR is a bit qu…

If you do have any plroblems getting it up and running or need extra parts then this chappie, http://newtonsales.com/ does sales and repairs. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of m…

I deeply appreciate the tips, beachycove. I will perform the hard reset dance at the first opportunity. It would be nice to get it working. It looks like a neat little machine for…

The eMate is a great machine for its intended uses. Accept none of the usual insults regarding your new toy. I have fiddled with several of these over the past months, and while m…

Thanks, Rodus! That website seems to be *the* Newton place -- I'll be spending a lot of time there, I see (assuming that I resurrect this unit). As for surfing, I've got my expect…

I've found Newtscape to be the best with NetHopper a very close second, a word of warning though, surfing on an eMate is going to be slooooow. It's slow on my 2000 which has a 162…

It sure does -- many thanks, ChristTrekker. Have you tried any of these? I'm up for a certain amount of experimentation, but I'd also like to benefit from the collective wisdom of …

A little Googling finds browsers called Courier and LunaSuite. The first is GPL, the second is discontinued. Does that help at all?

For $4 I got my first emate. Doesn't work at the moment, but assuming that it can be induced to do so at some point, what choices are there for browsers? I understand that there's …

I copied the ROM image from my 68k Performa. Does anyone know how to get the QuickSliver machine running off that, or if that's even what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who has r…

/me thinks about 7.6.1 on a dual 533 G4 ...

I installed Mac OS 8.6 on my Sawtooth first with MOM, as long as it worked, it worked good, alas after a while opening any window in the guest OS would stall the VM.

You can call them emulators, or you can call them virtual machines, or you can call them compatibility environments. The point is that they run PPC code on PPCs, so the don't have…

No I don't. I just have the QuickSilver, a G5 and a Performa 630 CD which has 8.1 on it. I have a friend who I believe has an 8.6.1 borg disc. He has an iMac G3, plus another iMac …

Do you have access to an old G3/Sawtooth that you could stick the drive in, install System 8 and then stick the drive back in the Quicksilver?

Are you sure MacOnMac is not an emulator. It says it is on it's own site. http://maconmac.bastix.net By the way the site is down. I used the Internet Wayback Machine to view it. ht…
