FYI, for support of large files you need Mac OS 9, an application that is able to use Mac OS 9's new file manager APIs (BTW long filenames are also supported using the same API too…

A pic to illustrate: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be …

Yeah, the G4 zif (sonnet) was critical for getting the video into a manageable file size using that divx codec. As for the sync issue, I was getting really frustrated by it as wel…

Glad the thread and its information could be of assistance. I still have the G3 Minitower, but I sold the G4 ZIF a while back and gave up on importing video from VHS since I could …

After reading through this thread and starting with a stock Beige G3, I went into upgrade frenzy over a period of a year or so. I now have a beige G4 with a sonnet zif running at …

http://www.box.net/shared/6eo0qjhyst That's G4FanControl 0.5. Under Leopard the UI itself is pretty useless (although you may have better luck), otherwise the command line version…

Hello, Apparently Hugh is no longer on this forum. Can anybody that he sent the g4fancontrol 0.5 to please send me a copy? PM me and I'll send you my email to send it to. Thanks.

I contacted yourmacstore and they were able to dig up a last kit for me, doesn't sound like they have more. Contacting Spirica might be the only way now.

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…

They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them. I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…

My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still

Use it to play Civilization! http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/civilizationiii.html Or use it for chatting, surfing non-flash sites, iTunes, DVD watching, …

Ah, thanks. It's got the normal 540c chime. Oh well... Thanks for your help though!

Determine by startup chime. If it has a 540 chime, it is 68k. If it has a 500/PPC chime, it is PowerPC. http://mactracker.dreamhosters.com/

Nope, it doesn't have graphing calculator installed. Once I can get my PC and my 540c to play nice, though, I'll see if I can find a utility to tell me what processor is installed.…

Do you have Graphing Calculator installed? If so, it will give an error when you open it on a 68k Mac. "Sorry, Requires Power Macintosh" or something to that effect.

It may have been a universal install; it appears as if the people who installed the software were from Tiger Foods. :?: They could have just made a universal set of floppies. If…

I believe 7.5.3 has Apple System Profiler. Run that and see what it says for processor. It's very likely that the install was a "Universal" install for any system. Of course, it…

Hello all, I recently acquired a PowerBook 540c. So far, I'm very happy with it, blah blah and blah. Anyways, as I was snooping around the System Folder, I noticed something: a Po…

If you really want to get fancy with your 1 GHz G4, get 10.5 on that system. It's been done by others, but it's not trivial. Click to expand... Yeah, too much work and I want t…

Sonnet Crescendo 1ghz G4 for beige PCI Powermacs. I've been seeing a few of these being sold by Mac dealers on ebay for $225-$250 so grabbed this one because it was only $100. You …
