What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #6

I Love The G5's they are tanks!!! But just B/C they aren't supported doesn't mean they are no good... I really was never into LAGS (Latest and Greatest Syndrome)... one can go br…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #5

Yeah, here in Australia, they commonly go for $800 - $1200...I don't think i've ever seen a G5 go for less than AU$800, ridiculous, if you ask me. Personally I think you paid a go…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #4

yes it was 225.00 USD... I been checking them out on ebay and some (like what I just bought today) go for 600.00 and up... and they want 50.00 or 60.00 for shipping...

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #3

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #2

5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #1

I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #6

The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5

I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…

Radeon 9600 in MDD FW800 G4? — #1

I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed. I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me. I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis card …

SE ROM In Plus — #3

chances are you'll just get a very unhappy frowning mac in the middle of your screen. Click to expand... Not even. No bong, just garbage on the screen.

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #4

None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…

SE ROM In Plus — #2

Anybody tired SE ROMs in a Plus? Any reason not to try in terms of risking damage? There is some software that will only run on an SE. My SEs are packed away or otherwise disassemb…

but the only thing is that this G3 AIO used to install 10.2 natively... not anymore... and I cannot figure it out... I was running Xpostfacto with 10.3.9 then I wiped the HDD and …

Don't know why you never saw that message before, but it's true - the beige G3s need to have OS X installed in the first 8GB of the drive. Re-partition the drive into two partitio…

What do you guys think? — #10

Get an Apple 2, a Commodore 64 or something else that uses a TV for its video output. Matter of fact, a C64 or the much more powerful C128 painted black and set up as if it were th…

Congrats! You now have a very rare piece of apple hardware! I was going to say to lower the price to 40$ as I think that is the golden price before something gets to expensive. I…

iBook G4 — #30

Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…

Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

I'd grab it. As Mike said, Mac TVs themselves are far from common. Only 10,000 were made, maybe a quarter of which would still exist today, and they were never sold outside of the …

I would try to pick it up. Mac TV's themselves aren't exactly common either. A black ADB Mouse could be fabricated in the mean time. Just paint a good condition, but yellowed mous…
