I finally got my iMac G4 up and running. I installed 9.2.2 on a USB external hard drive via my G3. Starting up the G4 with the button pressed, the G4 did recognize the USB hard dr…

What model iMac G4 is this? I put in my 700MHz iMac G4 a pioneer that was in my early model LaCie D2(non dual layer) and it worked just fine.

I had this exact problem not but a month ago. Something about this particular iMac i guess. Nothing I did worked. I tried every trick I could find: booting from various install …

Compatible 512 MB modules must have a total of 16 chips, 8 on each side.

Apologies ahead of time for my ignorance on the details of which models are affected by what I'm about to say, but... ... isn't there some issue with some PPC Macs not liking the …

Could it be an issue with the CAS latency of the RAM? I know some Macs from that generation are rather fussy, and prefer 2-2-2 RAM.

So I've got my 450MHz AGP Sawtooth running. However it is only recognizing 1GB of RAM. According to LEM and everymac.com it will accept 2GB. I have a 512MB and 3 256MB cards ins…

just the basics of the 2 technologies suggest that an active matrix would use more power, but that doesnt mean that they didnt find a way around that (and according to the post ab…

Further digging in the "PowerBook" sections of my ever-useful old copies of The Macintosh Bible and Macintosh and Power Macintosh Secrets has revealed that the commentators du jour…

Do the greyscale active matrix screens in the PowerBook 1xx series consume significantly more power than the passive matrix displays? I know that the early colour LCDs would quickl…

cool, I went to my dad's house and got his "the applesoft tutorial", which has been sitting in the same drawer since his apple //e was brand new except for a tiny wrinkle on the d…

Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project. I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

Competition starts in two days. Sign up... Focus... Flounder.

Using the "set-defaults" command with resets seemed to bring the FireWire back on a 12" G4 867 MHz for me. It was having a similar problem recognizing drives at the volume select …

I think it was boot-usb? I was actually talking about it to a friend saturday night, he couldn't remember the exact command but he remember his issue well. Two iBook G4s, one coul…

Well. ~Coxy, you were correct. I tried a USB hard drive, zip drive, and CD drive. No Luck. The Mac would see only the USB CD drive, but would not start the disk. I tried OS 8.1, 9.…

When will you be posting the Apple II stuff on there that you have? Click to expand... Hopefully in July or August. I need to update the Vault page, though. I've done more work…
