I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

I tried Ubuntu a couple of times on my iBook and iMac over the years. It's been a while but I think I had video problems with both (the iMac for sure). Kubuntu especially was very …

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/…

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you go…

Carbon isn't modern?

given that situation yes

So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

There should be a reset button on the back. Check out this page http://www.pda-soft.de/2x00_disassemble.html to ensure it clears everything you want it to...

I am giving my Newton MP 2100 to a friend and I want to remove any and all personal data on it beforehand. Is there an easy way to reset it back to factory settings/data. I do no…

You say you didn't notice a difference in Virtual PC. Did VPC claim to be dual-aware? If so, probably what you'd need to do then is test out running two virtual PCs on each the dua…

Liberation in hostile territory - nice work.

Great "iMac" Find :lol:

Congrats, even thought the guy was kind of a ****head himself! Without motivating myself to go downstairs and turn on one of my compact Mac's, I believe the occasional "static pip…

I posted a wanted ad for vintage macs on freecycle just recently since my curiosity about the old things has gotten the better of me. Hello. If you have any old macs you wan…

Has anyone used one of these with a beige PCI Powermac?

I saw an old review of a prototype G4 upgrade from Daystar that had 2m cache vs 1m cache in the production model and the results weren't impressive. Running about 20 apps and bench…

Your English is fine. Thankyou for the extra information. Dual have 2MB L3 cache per processor.Single have 1MB L3 cahe per processor. Click to expand... I would expect …

I managed to land a gigger, though I'm "still" using my 867MHz G4 for most of my portable OS 9 needs. The 1400, bless its heart, just doesn't have the battery life to take it on th…

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

I managed to get it working after some research. It looks like Western Digital drives can't be used with the jumper in the neutral position. They must be assigned as either master …

I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…

If the Hard Drive was previously used in a PC it might have (somehow) changed something so Device Setup no longer recognizes it. Or something like that. If you have a Mac OS X CD …
