thats a very nice little book the smal form facor and almost endless battery life ( 6 hours on mine ) is what i like the most on these icebooks mine is just a G3 600 thoug…

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2007101815375480 It's much easier to look at this way.

I know, my history with iBook G4s isn't all that fantastic. In my nature though I had to try... this little machine is another victim of the "fractured solder syndrome" that plague…

ADC was doomed from the start because it powered the monitor. That means laptop users have to buy bulky extrenally-powered converter boxes and it also means yet-more auxiliary powe…

Leopard should run just fine on that card. While the Ti3200 is indeed far faster and a more capable GPU than the Rage128 card it came with, I am concerned that it may not support c…

I always thought it had something to do with the VRAM. If you had too much VRAM you could not take the Mac down to black and white. I think the cutoff was 2 MB. I remember that my…

If I wasn't going to install that fan, then i'd never have opened the case, and i'd never have adjusted the voltages. Simple....I somehow doubt i'll attempt the installation again.…

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen any PCI based Mac that could go down to 16 colors or B&W. The lowest you can go is 256 greys.

12v DC does not melt a fan.. you sure you did not bump the AC by accident? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. Followed the guide to the word, it failed, and I yanked the powe…

Unfortunately the only reason I opened the case was to install a fan... and in the process of hooking up that fan I blew the fan and the fuses in quite a spectacular way. Click …

The limit of ADC is the single-link DVI resolution of 1920x1200. Power isn't the limit, Apple had a 17" CRT that ran off ADC. (By the way, the power isn't being supplied over the…

I've been thinking about this for a little while now, and it seems to me that in my old Elementary school, there were candy iMacs that could go all the way down to Black & …

That anode cap is indeed a pain to remove. I usually use a small pair of pliers (from an eyeglass repair kit) to get the clip on one side pressed in and then use the pliers to remo…

Last night I opened my 512k to record all its capacitors (I think I've found a way around my worries about lead, so now I'll be ready to replace those capacitors!!! ). But anyw…

It was a good idea, but it can't be in sizes larger than 22" iirc, but I absolutely love my 17" adc.

Well I made some adjustments, including as suggested to the voltage, and here are the results. 1. When powering up the Mac from a Cold Start (such as turning it on after being …

I'm not sure if they still have older Macs, but I remember a shop in Columbus called Macmobile. I had walked by the store in 2001 and there were a ton of old Macs in the window, in…

The Quadra 700 isn't a bad choice if you add an accelerator card. It's the same size as the IIcx/IIci and has the benefit of being able to be used as a minitower or as a desktop (d…
