Target Disk Mode Question (iBook OS loading) — #3

Thanks, G. Solved it by creating a bootable flash drive and that worked well. Your solution would probably have worked too. (I need to also test my firewire cable, it may be defect…

Target Disk Mode Question (iBook OS loading) — #2

Can you simply reverse things, IE, put the G3 into target disk mode, boot the G4 off the install disk, and select the G3's hard disk as the install target? Last time I checked that…

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 …

Free fan control utility — #10

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…

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…

Oh, man! A truly virgin 1400. — #15

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 …

Oh, man! A truly virgin 1400. — #14

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…

Has a PowerPC upgrade been installed? — #8

My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still

MicroConversions GameWizard for iMac G3 — #6

Now how would that work? The Voodoo 2 was a 3D-only chip. It didn't have a 2D engine, and used the same pass-through cable setup as the Voodoo 1. Did you route the onboard video…
