When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa?
I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS gut…

Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

Because there is no PowerPC code in Snow Leopard? (well, not much anyway...while there's still some Universal stuff, none of the core OS code is PPC anymore)

I noticed Leopard on there and this got me thinking...
Why doesn't someone write up a script or something that will remove x86 code so as to have our own powerpc Snow Leopard?

I can't imagine the "heat gun" method (which I've tried to some success on an iBook 800 - nut need to do it again) would actually melt the solder on the BGA array, but rather sligh…

Yeah, they're really different beasts
- Faulty iBook G4 chip: about ten legs, repaired easily enough
- Faulty iBook G3 video chipset: about three hundred, inaccessible

Posting from my phone so I'll keep this simple. The iBook is back from surgery, currently in intensive care but the procedure otherwise appeared to be a success. Just need to keep …

Will probably attempt the repair today. I have 2 chances to get this right (2 logic boards) but i'd like to get it right the first time around. Although we don't have the fine tip …

My iBook has the same problem.
I might be tempted to rip it open and re-solder the GPU when I have some time. I've only had it a few weeks before it failed, but during that time I…

Nice. Just FYI, you won't be able to make 800k or 400k Mac floppies on that USB drive.

I came across two external drives today, first is a USB2 CD-RW from goodwill for $6. Normally they have no computer stuff, but I found it in the bottom of a bin with the original c…

Well... the newest iBook exhibited a system lockup due to that chip this morning. Until now it had a pretty good run, 26 hours and counting without a hitch then as soon as it power…

Hey,
Using hot glue to fix that little chip on iBook G4 isn't what I'd do - it'll just fail again within time and be a right royal bugger to remove (and you'll probably rip off the…

I love my ibook it is an 800mhz g3 ibook, I'd really love to have a G4 ibook to replace it, but at the price I'd find a g4 ibook in I'd probally just get an msi wind (if only they …

I am keeping one eye out for a cheap one of those. I also have the 12" iBook G3 600 and I really like it. I got it to use when traveling. But I'd like to get the G4 because, well, …
