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…

I have a G3 B&W sitting in the basement (don't we all). Click to expand... I have a Gigabit Ethernet G4 in the basement, BEAT THAT! ;D

Hi everyone, I'm posting from my iMac G3! I'm currently running Mac OS 9.2 on it, but since I'm running it, I can only download software compatible for it. I want to be able to pl…

An IrDA port is just a serial port, I think, so it should be trivial to programme. The bondi iMac I took apart certainly had its IrDA ports connected to a standard mini-DIN serial …

now that i think about it, I am probably wrong because i seem to remember it being a bug with xpostfacto

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…

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…

I don't know but I like the idea. It would drive my wife nuts! :lol:

Panther runs fine on 512mb RAM (the system holds about 128 at idle). As with any machine, the faster the CPU, the better. At least a 400 for decent speed and FireWire capabilities.…

None of the iMac G3's have USB 2....

X.3.9 Panther IMHO, its overheads are less then Tiger and you still get most of the functionality. Just make sure you've taken the RAM up to 1GB. I'm assuming here that you mean …

Good to know! Thanks for posting your experience

As far as I have found, wire connected Fast Ethernet upgrades for the PowerBook 1400 are recommended rarely. Some years ago I have got a cheap 10/100 Fast Ethernet PC card from a P…
