Yeah, I would stick with Tiger on anything slower than a 1GHz G4 - and even then I'd prefer a DP G4, plenty of RAM, and a decent video card. M

For future reference, if your discs just keep ejecting rather than starting up, try disconnecting the keyboard. I was using a PC keyboard which kept ejecting the drive on boot for…

400mhz Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet. Just had a logic board replacement and needs the operating system reinstalled. It won't boot from CD though. Disc in, every time it starts up…

Popped the bugger out, shot it with compressed air, shot a little air inside the machine, popped out the tray and gently sprayed in there a bit, popped it back in, and boom! That …

Mind sharing the technics?

Nevermind, some 'persuasive techniques' managed to get it working fine

Well, I've found issue number two; the pismo seems to be fine with DVDs, but it refuses to do anything with CDs, kinda obliterating my hopes of Jaguar. Has anybody experienced one …

Nice... I am a HUGE Evangelion fan and have posters all over my walls pertaining to the series. I am trying to track down the "The Rebuild of Evangelion" and think I found a copy …

While my formerly recycled PowerBook G4/500 is disassembled to JB Weld a broken hinge (it was easy to get the display apart, as most of the old adhesive had since lost its grip), I…

Have a Dual 800 pulled from a QS trying to get fully working 100% in a DA anyone have any other suggestions for getting the L3 cache to work/show up? I have done the 12v wire hook…

Curses, I was hoping to avoid that... Anybody know a good source for pismo batteries?

You have taken all of the normal steps to revive a dead battery. Regrettably, it is no more. It is pining for the fjords. It is an ex-battery. Re-celling a lithium-ion battery is …

LiIons are a pain. I've got some for my 3400 and 2400 that still hold at least an hour's charge, and several for Lombards/Pismos/iBooks that are dead as hell. I'm pretty sure that…

I just got myself a Pismo (poke around conquests ), and my only problem with it is that the battery is flat as a board. It shows up as empty and fully charged; if I pull it out …

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.

Just the VGA signal. I'm assuming you're talking about a tray load iMac. Click to expand... Why yes. Yes I am [] ]'>

Just the VGA signal. I'm assuming you're talking about a tray load iMac.

Read the help doc and found out that when the vga monitor is hooked up a to a monitor, a dialog box shows up in the monitor and sound panel. The powerbook is not seeing the monitor…

Could anybody tell me how to use Mac-On-Mac. I can't really figure it out. It has very little documentation. Thanks

Is the display cable on the inside that connects to the hunk of iMac carry any electricity or just the VGA signal?

The 9 ROM needs the OS 9 extensions and libs... so you'll get Mac OS 9 in the end.

Well I did the opposite. I placed the Mac OS 9.0.1 ROM image in the 8.6 system folder. It actually booted up with the Mac OS 8.6 welcome screen. That was short lived however, it wa…

G4 Required. The ZIF upgrade will get the system over the line but Apple has removed the kernel extensions for Gossamer and Heathrow so you will still only see a kernel panic. You…

When it does fail, you can hook it up to another monitor, or put it's hard disc into a b/w g3 or similarly old G4 tower.

My Grape iMac's CRT fails? The screen is rather dim but clear, it was burn in a bit. And it sometimes shows up red, witch I know in LCD's that the backlight is going so something e…
