It may have been a universal install; it appears as if the people who installed the software were from Tiger Foods. :?: They could have just made a universal set of floppies. If…

I believe 7.5.3 has Apple System Profiler. Run that and see what it says for processor. It's very likely that the install was a "Universal" install for any system. Of course, it…

Hello all, I recently acquired a PowerBook 540c. So far, I'm very happy with it, blah blah and blah. Anyways, as I was snooping around the System Folder, I noticed something: a Po…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Congratulations on that iBook G3! The 500 or 600MHz (Rage128) models are the pair of dualUSB iBooks I'll still admit to having wanted when they were new, and I'll also admit I woul…

If you really want to get fancy with your 1 GHz G4, get 10.5 on that system. It's been done by others, but it's not trivial. Click to expand... Yeah, too much work and I want t…

Sonnet Crescendo 1ghz G4 for beige PCI Powermacs. I've been seeing a few of these being sold by Mac dealers on ebay for $225-$250 so grabbed this one because it was only $100. You …

Sweet That bad boy deserves a worthy host - may I suggest your 9500? Click to expand... I was thinking that, too. I was originally going to put it in the 9600 when it gets …

Well, spanking it, dropping it and tapping it gently with a sledgehammer didn't help. Salvation came in the form of a PB160 with a bad screen that generously donated its hard…

I also noticed there is a dealer selling new G3 500 upgrades for the 7500 et al Macs for $199.95. That's kinda stupid since Sonnet still has stock of those for $50. 8-o Click t…

Not bad! I could use one of those in my beige G3, but I'm too cheap. Click to expand... This is the one for the earlier Macs, not the G3 ZIF socket. There was a 1ghz upgrade fo…

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them. Click to expand... I have …

I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

I've been eyeing these off at $10-$12 apiece - if I found them at $6 I'd probably do just as you have done. Click to expand... Yeah, when I saw how many he had at the price I h…

What's also nice is I can use my standard VGA monitors now instead of the special Mac connector monitors. I don't have enough Mac monitors to put one on each of my Macs but I have …

They are nice, I have 3 or 4 of them in PCI macs. The 64 bit slots on B&W G3's make those cards about as fast as the 2x AGP ones.

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…
