now at half that price Click to expand... Bargain! [)] ]'>

Yeah, like that's gonna happen. They are like $250-$300 each in bulk according to Freescales' site. Click to expand... Well, they did eventually make a 40Mhz 68LC040, which is …

It's possible of course that the bad part is a cache RAM chip instead of the G4. Click to expand... ARG!!! Why can't I just let it die in peace? It worked for about three days…

http://www.box.net/shared/6eo0qjhyst That's G4FanControl 0.5. Under Leopard the UI itself is pretty useless (although you may have better luck), otherwise the command line version…

Similar experience with my Sawtooth running a 1.2GHz PLX CPU. In my case the DIP switches which set the buss multiplier evidently glitched and it went to 1.6GHz, which is way overc…

Hello, Apparently Hugh is no longer on this forum. Can anybody that he sent the g4fancontrol 0.5 to please send me a copy? PM me and I'll send you my email to send it to. Thanks.

I'm glad I did that to the CPU card I got for my MDD then. Damn thing seems to run hot enough as it is.

Regardless of whether a machine appears fine, you should replace the foil between the CPUs and the heat sink the first time you take the heat sink off. Heat sink compound is alway…

I am amazed that it didn't happen sooner! My MDD was regularly +150F, yet it didn't complain for five years. Meanwhile I had a feature creep situation with a project for recasing i…

So the problem was the CPU daughtercard? It seems this is a common issue with overheating. I've experienced it viewtopic.php?f=13&t=13430 And other have too viewtopic.php…

IT'S ALIVE!!! I collected all of my MDD bits together tonight and set about methodically testing. First I tried combinations of RAM sticks - they can't all have gone bad! And unli…

The most primitive stand alone Apple LCD was the blue & white 15" Studio Display at 1024x768. It is a multi-sync display so it will display 640x480. The earliest LCDs from …

My, that's pretty.

The closest "match" you'll be able to find is likely IBM's first LCD desktop display, the 9507, which was meant to go with their low power PS/2e desktop computer. (Which was basic…

I happened upon this thread and thought I would add my two cents. Hope this is useful and not a "me too" sort of deal. I have a IIci that I made out of two IIcis, and I was think…

I contacted yourmacstore and they were able to dig up a last kit for me, doesn't sound like they have more. Contacting Spirica might be the only way now.

Yeah, definately something to look into. For now, I'm just saving the iBook as a rainy day project xx( .

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…

They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them. I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …

LCGUY beat me to it. It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X. So yes, it does belong in this list.

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…
