Quick update. I opened up the 2400 which was a substantial task. The hard disk had been upgraded at some stage in the past an was not touching its heatsink. Also the thermal past…

Yes you can get iMovie 2 for OS 9.

I want to be able to play the videos from a camcorder, but the only software that can play it is for Mac OS 10! Click to expand... Wasn't an older version of iMovie available f…

I definitely find Tiger better - better Web browsing, faster, better functionality, and more up-to-date security updates and the like. If you have less than 384MB RAM, or a CPU sl…

Bump the RAM to at least 512 megs and pop tiger on 'em. I run Tiger on my G3/500/512 PowerBook, and it's extremely zippy

I had, until recently, near 'nuff identical (8/2001 and 3/2002) Indigo iMac/500s, with 768 and 1024MB of RAM, side-by-side on my desk and running 10.3.9/9.2.2 and 10.4.11/9.2.2 on …

Just for the sake of disagreement, I've found Tiger much better than Panther on my iMacs/iBook (even with a meagre 512 MB). Aside from being a lot more stable (in my experience) th…

Hell, my newton used to control my Sony TV... I bet it can be done...

There was a utility to do this with Windows laptops I saw a while ago... can't remember the name.

Like trick it into thinking your sending a file but it is actually the code to change the the channel or something.

You might need some sort of direct hardware access to do that because it isn't a typical serial signal. I really don't know where to start, though. IrDA can also receive IR signa…

The flickering is a sign of insufficient voltage. Either the battery is marginal, or the power regulator board has a problem. The crashing could also be due to power instability. …

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes? Click to expand... Presumably you need an IrDA Communications Tool…

Using OF commands, after amending the settings for thermal-info I got the fan to turn on straight after booting, by setting them to 01010200 00000000 01010200 00000000. With the o…

I've got a 2400c spec'd very similarly to yours. My NUpwr is the 240MHz variety. Anywho, I couldn't say anything for sure about the first issue. It could be that something's aging…
