Beware. Some of the iMac G4 (later models before switching to the G5 processor) used DDR RAM on both the very bottom and inside. So make sure you have a model that uses SDRAM PC1…

Thank You. Well, everything's going well, except that I can't get off this metal shelf from the back side of the 7100. Two clips are holding it. I don't want to break it up.

Indeed, Merry Christmas and all the best to you lot this holiday season!

Yea I knew they only had one slot in the I-book I even just meses my 9 installed but that is another story and the added ram runs ines fine

merry xmas fellow RCers! :-*

The internal drive is an IDE, which doesn't seem to struggle much at all with the recording process. I have 50GB SCSI drives that could work a little better, but I haven't tried th…

I think you just need a phillips and flat head screwdriver. The screws in the back allow the top of the case to come off. the metal shelf holding the cdrom , HD, and floppy comes o…

Hey all, how to completely deassemble Power Macintosh 7100?

Hi, i don't know if somebody can help me, I have an old imac 350 MHz blueberry with 256 MB of RAM, I recently bought a 512 MB SDRAM 100MHz DIMM 3.3V ..... but when I put it on the…

If you don't mind my asking, is the drive to which you are capturing an IDE drive or scsi drive? I've been thinking of using my beige G3 in a similar manner (I have an old analogue…

Actually, the tray loading iMacs required a minimum of PC66 too, exactly the same as the clamshell iBook. It was the slot-load iMacs that required PC100. So yeah, any RAM from you…

It's not too much of a worry, I have the hard disk on a sled at the moment that just snaps right into the Power Mac G3, and when I want to do the transfer, I power the system down,…

Ok thanks it just sucks with the 64mb of ram, yea I'm going to open my imac, later thanks

The iBook (Firewire) takes PC-66 SO-DIMM RAM. iMacs (the old ones) take PC-100 SO-DIMM RAM, and since PC-100 is backwards compatible with PC-66. Yes the iMac ram will work in the i…

Well would Ram from a tray loading I-mac Work in an Clam shell I book? I just mine and it only has stock ram, (the built in) Also This is a 366Mh Ibook with Fire wire so yea, Als…

cant say for 68k but would doubt it - the version being used for the WWU is a universal binary so you are in if you have a PPC Mac thats good enough.check out the doom-retrochallen…

. Here's the review, and here's the manufacturer's page (archive) Note that they claimed that only their own "modified" G4 ZIFs would work properly. I see XLR8 also recommended …

chesty i will miss you so!

I should have added that not all 8139 cards work; only certain revisions (which I can't recall sorry) JB

I looked a little for that upgrade. I couldn't find it. Anyone want to point me toward it. I have heard rumor of it for a while. I remember doing a bit more research on it a long t…

It has to do PAL, otherwise I wouldn't be getting any colour input from my VCR. It was a case of switching to PAL in software and away it went. If there's one issue still holding …

Some good news, the Wings AV card will most certainly capture at 640x480 and possibly even higher. I'm pretty sure I just saw it pull video in at 800x600. Click to expand... Wh…
