I assume that a feature like that would not have been consistent with Apple's desired image for the Macintosh. If you look at all their old ads, they touted it as a revolutionary …

Just get one of those damaged screw remover kits. Once you have the screw out, use a dremel to give it a slot across the top of the head so you can use a regular old flat head scre…

if you have a plastic coat hanger you can clip a piece off of it, cut it down to size, melt the end abit and let it cool while pressing on the screw head basically making a custom…

IIRC it is the wallstreet and PDQ that are not supposed to be run with the lid closed since they use the keyboard as part of the cooling system.

ha, i forgot about those, i have a "berry" one somewhere

Just be aware that the machine is not designed to run with the lid closed Click to expand... From the Pismo technote... The computer includes 8 MB of video memory, which…

I'm fairly sure most PowerBooks can do that - if I have an external monitor/keyboard/mouse on my PowerBook 1400, and I press the power key on the external keyboard with the lid clo…

Well, this was totally unexpected. I'm in the process of changing the layout of my room. I decided to arrange my desk so that I place my Pismo on the rolling shelf, more suited f…

I finally got my iMac G4 up and running. I installed 9.2.2 on a USB external hard drive via my G3. Starting up the G4 with the button pressed, the G4 did recognize the USB hard dr…

Well, since my reason for doing it is frivolous, I don't want to do anything drastic. I think the only way to get them out would be with a teeny-weeny drill. I asked at the closes…

I know this is a little old and disregard if you already have it working, but I did this to load leopard onto my emac take the hdd out and put it in another apple (or external wha…

I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in Click to expand... It isn't a matter of the FCC allowing it or otherwise. It …

It arrived ten years after the 128K and was called the Lacie ADB FM Tuner. It was powered by ADB and used whatever amplifier system was available.

Jeez .... I had absolutely ZERO idea that the FCC wouldn't allow a Macintosh computer with a radio built in lol :b&w:

sometimes you can pull or angle and pull on cases while trying to back the screw out, effectively pinching it enough so it can unscrew

Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The o…

... if the Macintosh 512K computer came with an AM/FM/SW radio built in. A coax jack on the back -- near the powerswitch -- for you to plug the included, rubbertipped telescope an…

What model iMac G4 is this? I put in my 700MHz iMac G4 a pioneer that was in my early model LaCie D2(non dual layer) and it worked just fine.
