Does anyone have the pinout info? Or a link to the Apple manual that has it? I've checked every manual i could get my hands on and none go into that level of detail. I've done th…

This is great! Can't believe I missed this thread 2 years ago. I wanted to do this 3-years ago, but couldn't figure out how to get VGA out of the mono monitor on my Classic. I g…

I'm too tired to look it up. The signal pins are exposed through the motherboard connector, which will accept a VGA signal once the high-res mod is done. The pin out of the connec…

Hi nextse7en, are you able to post the pinout schematic for VGA -> Color Classic CRT? Been trying to do this awesome mod myself. The charm is truly in keeping the original…

omfg, Sonnet- the "it just works people", I will totally check that out when my kids are awake... they get a little annoyed when I sneak into their rooms at night to use their comp…

I'll continue the digression. Regarding your 7447 and the CPU Plugins problem. I have found this Japanese retailer that from the rough Google English translation seems to say they …

of course lba-48 is optional, I included it as much as an example of how to set multiple variables as anything else. It does seem to work on my sawtooth, (Uni North Rev 3 btw), bu…

There is also a similiar discussion here http://www.cubeowner.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12512 at the cubeowner forum about how to manually edit the open firmware to allow OS 9…

Thanks, that's exactly the detail I wanted. I notice you have added a new line enabling the lba-48 property. Can this line be considered optional and be omitted from the patch if …

Note- I've updated the patch slightly based on some research... the Sawtooth 8.6 only seems to like 7400 and 7410 processor models. Reading some opensource PPC code online lead m…

Thanks for the firmware patch. I can't wait to try it out on my 7455 upgraded sawtooth. However, I have never done any open firmware editing before and I was wondering if you could…

... I should mention that Sawtooth G4 shipped with PowerPC G4 7410 7400series CPU and that OS 8.6 doesn't like upgraded 7445 7450 7455 or whatever (it shows up as a bootable choice…

Hi Trag, many thanks for your reply. I would very carefully examine the area around the 53C80 chip for damage/corrosion from the leaking capacitors. Click to expand... T…

Hi all, After washing and recapping my SE/30´s mobo, it now starts with a loud, clear "bong" -- no more SimasiMac! Here it is, connected via LocalTalk to my Quadra 700 (as AppleSh…

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…

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 …

So after nearly a year, I'm reconsidering working on this iBook again. I just wanted to see if there were any second opinions about whats wrong with it. For a flashback, this mach…

There used to be arguments among memory upgraders about whether to use sockets or not. There are some 128K boards which just don't have enough juice to drive the extra capacitance …

I just went and bought a new screen for my PowerBook G4 today! Now all I have to do is wait 3-4 days. Finally, I'll be able to use it as a laptop, except I don't have a battery…
