Don't try to pry one side out completely before the others. You'll bend some pins. You need to work around the CPU and try to pry all sides up a little at a time until it comes loo…

Lucky you, my verdict with that was the interface dying.

Wow nice score! Wanna sell it???? Click to expand... I think I'll keep it for the moment. ;^) So, upon trying the "boot to OS 9" experiment, when I boot a system file dragged …

Wow nice score! Wanna sell it????

the 1.42x2MDD I briefly had was very very snappy. Even my 1X2G4 QS was a very snappy machine. In all fairness I was using an 800mhz ibook g3 as my other osx machine at the time, bu…

So, I picked up the machine yesterday afternoon. The complete inventory of stuff in it was as follows: 2x 1.25Ghz CPU 2 GB RAM Airport 250 GB HD 1x Radeon 9000 Pro AGP with DV…

the MDD has absolutely no problems at all running large IDE hard drives; In fact, I believe that the MDD came in a server configuration with a set of large hard disks in it at some…

OS 9 can work with large drives up to 2TB if you find a copy of MacOS ROM version 9.5 or later. The ROM file that came on the MDD's CD or an iMac/iBook G4 or other late version of …

IIRC 200gb or smaller partitions can only be read by os9 say you have a 600gig drive and it is partitioned in 200gb and 400gb it would boot fine off the 200gb partition but absolut…

I'm sure others who have personal experience with such machines can give you a 'from personal experience' answer, but here's my understanding: OS 9 will only recognize partitions …

Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

First things first, regardless of what you may hear from him, we don't hate him. There's no major vendetta against him, no conspiracy theories, or anything like that. Really, we wa…

Whee! My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem. Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

I think it is a fair considering Mike has been contributing to 68mla for over 2 years. A summary of the decision would silence all rumors and questions regarding the situation and…

Ok I am fairly sure I am crossing a line here. I don't mean any disrespect, but I am going to cross it anyway. I've been apart of this community getting close to 10 years now. In …

It needs to have the DVD Extension and Disc Authoring though. Click to expand... Are you sure? ISTR reading that once the disk is formatted (HFS or HFS+) it can be mounted rea…

today i went to start up my powermac G4 and it didn't boot, so i zapped the pram and tried again...no dice. so took it out of my computer and put it in my B&W G3 and it did…

You're right, a 6200 needs OS 10.4.3 or later. If yours works like mine, OS9 will give you 256 colors at the native display resolution, no choice. I have a 6200 in my Cube, and it'…

I have a GF6200 256MB AGP in my Digital Audio. It will not work with my 10.4.0 disc (it is said that you need 10.4.3 IIRC) but works fine in the mid to later 10.4s and 10.5. In OS…

Yes, the G4 Cube is 2X AGP at 100 MHz. I tried a couple of times to flash a PCI 6200 card for my B&W with Sonnet G4 500MHz. Both times, the card worked in the PC, flashed n…

It's perfect.

The contrast between the pixelated Mac image and the smooth anti-aliased, yet retro Chicago font is part of the unique unreproducible artistic expression.
