There's some issues with it due to hardware incompatibilities (I think it's based off the SAM440ep install disc), but it'd be fun to at least get some form of AmigaOS4 running on a…

While you're trying out stuff, you could also give the hacked AmigOS 4.0 install CD that works on the G4 Mac Mini a go. See how well it works. I got it off your server so you shoul…

All you are doing is taking off the very thin layer of yellowed exposed surface, which after a few years will yellow again anyway. The bad part is you can expose blotchyness and mo…

If you turn the computer on with the back removed in a darkened room, can you see a blue electrical discharge ("corona discharge") around the top of the EHT transformer? If so, th…

No, I haven't seen any evidence of that. The screen's bright and clear; there was no wobble at all, as far as I could tell. If a deaf man were to start up the Plus, he would perc…

For the skeptics and hold-outs... CAN RETROBRIGHT REALLY MAKE PLASTICS BRITTLE? If the plastic had become dangerously brittle due to RetroBright deyellowing, you would expect that…

Depends on the nature of the "fizzling" sound. Could be a grounding problem. If the sound reoccurs, try opening it up and loosening and retightening the grounding plate screws and…

Why did I say wheelie bin? Because that's what HE said. Turned out to be a large tub, about three quarters full. I'm kind of glad in a way, because, I wouldn't have had the spac…

PowerPCs do boot from USB. I have used an external DVD Drive and they all have booted perfectlty.

Hi all, I know at some point I've seen some youtube video of a problem like this, so I thought I'd run this by you guys. Last night I decided to turn on my Macintosh Plus. Howev…

According to my research, the G4 Mini requires 10.4. At this point I'm not sure if I'll bother with that or just get linux back on there. Seems that whichever method I choose I'll …

I thought the G3s and up had autosensing ports, so either a straight or crossover cable would work. Click to expand... I don't think anything in Apple's product line without Gi…
