I have iMac G3s starting at about $20. If you want to load YouTube though you would need at least a 500 MHz iMac G3 with OS X, and at least 512 MB RAM, and then you would still nee…

Hey, I created this account in case I get an iMac G3, and me and my brother share a PC, so as you can see I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to computers. :-/ If you have any…

I picked up a g5 dual 2ghz today it came with no ram, the fans in front of the g5s are missing, no video card and no ram (it does have a super drive though). Now i've looked up an…

After a night of test installations today I managed to install a stable version of 9.1+ onto a 7200 with Sonnet G3/400/1MB L2/224MB RAM, ATI Rage, 1GB Harddisk and a TEAC CD burner…

PMed you johnboy. =)

Yeah stupid me, I meant tip. Some of the joints are quite small. Tomlee: Yes data suggests otherwise. I may actually be selling the Classic 2! I got an offer from Classic Mac 500

I always liked working on my PB 170 (when it was alive) but I absolutely abhored my PowerBook 190. That thing broke so often, it was not even funny. I lost my homework everytime i…

The Duo 210 (and I imagine others in the line) is quite easy also.

Without, in any way, contesting the ease of take-apart/repair in the PB140 and higher (I don't own a PB100), I feel obliged to advance the PB500 and PB1400 as coming out of the sam…

I have to agree, the PB1xx series are my favourite machine to work on, take the two case pieces apart and everything's right in front of you. Speaking of replacing the LCD pane…

Hi, In a recent post I commented on having to strip down my Powerbook 2400c to replace a scratched/dim LCD panel with one I purchased on eBay for .99c many moons ago. I finally g…

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Click to expand... I would offer quite different advice. To get this particular connector to solder properly requires a fairly robust i…

A little late but.... You are using low density memory only right? The cheaper high density modules won't work.

The tape trick only tells the drive (and OS) that it is dealing with double-density media, and only works reasonably well if the disk has never, ever been formatted or otherwise wr…

Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

The SE's over in the IT department at the moment. The IT systems administrator said it "bought back a lot of memories" so I let them keep it for the night.

I'm willing to bet you have a MiniScribe hard drive. These drives were prone to failure in the first place and seem to be failing at an alarmingly high rate as of late due to age (…
