The iBook G3 Dual-USB are great machines... if you can find one that doesn't have the dreaded GPU failure. I love my 900MHz iceBook, to be honest. It's really still a fairly capabl…

To turn Dashboard off: defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES To turn Dashboard on: defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO You have to…

How do I end dashboard on 10.4?

Technically, Mac OS did not drop support for 400KB disks with Mac OS 7.6.x. With System 7.5.x, a lot of floppy disk handling shifted from the core OS to PC Exchange, or whatever it…

Trying to compile a system compatibility matrix for floppy media. Technically speaking the beige PowerMac G3 series are the only Macs supported by OS X with a built-in Superdrive a…

I run 10.4 on a 800Mhz G3 iBook and it runs fine. No more sluggish than Jaguar and Panther were.

I have no probs with spotlight on a 466, though dashboard definitely needs to be ditched. Tiger should be right snappy on that unit.

10.4 should be perfectly usable on a 900 MHz iBook. I would probably disable both Spotlight and Dashboard, but even on slow laptop hard disks I know some who persevere with them st…

I was surprised to see that the ibook series stayed with the G3 all the way to 900mhz, and I am just wondering how those run 10.4, and how the high end 900mhz G3 compare against a …

I hope nobody mind some french speaking around here… Salut Joël, je vois que tu as trouvé la source! Tu es entre de bonnes mains, y a des mecs vraiment balèzes par ici, pour t…

I would try it again with your cd on one ata master and 80 gig on other ata master, and your os9 boot as slave to the cd. It should boot from os9 then run xpf and then it will reb…

You'll need the adapter dongle that originally came with the 2100 if you want to do cabled transfers. Personally I'd avoid all that malarky and download NCX. WiFi transfers are m…

You'll need this software http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/connection/ or a similar program and I would imagine a USB to ADB http://www.welovemacs.com/adapters-adb-adapters.html c…

Hello, I bought a Newton MessagePad 2100 and i really like this PDA but i don't know how to connect it to my PowerBook G4 Ti 667 VGA running Mac OS 10.4.11 because i haven't got a…

I downloaded xpostfacto and tried to install tiger on my machine with the dvd drive I installed. It installed some files on the new hard drive I installed then rebooted and the scr…

You might have better luck in the trading post rather than here.

Oh yeah, I noticed that I have two devices on one IDE channel, the CD drive and the Zip drive. I'm thinking about swapping the zip drive for the hard drive and seeing if it recogni…

Well, Got some more parts today. (DVD Drive, RAM, VRAM, and USB 2.0 card) Unfortunately the USB 2.0 card isn't compatible with the beige models. It wouldn't even chime at startup. …

I am running OS X on my PB G3 Lombard and it needs a G4. I know there are upgrades for it out there, but I can't find one for the life of me that wouldn't require a government bai…

I think it would make more sense to get a new 120mm fan instead, though I've read the B&W G3 uses a 2-pin connector not the normal 3 pin. Click to expand... Two pin con…

I would like to make my B&W G3 near-silent, like my iMac. I know it's possible, but I am curious to see if anyone else on here has performed this procedure. This guide tak…

Update... Success! I have two hard drives now on the optical drive ata bus.

An update: I'm short on cash, but I was able to scrape together enough money to buy everything but the new processor and the video card. I also ended up getting a USB 2.0 card beca…

Well I just threw in a 27GB WD on there and it worked without a hitch, even without jumpers! Thanks for the reassurance guys. I tried this before and it didn't work but I found ou…

Yes. The Optical drive will be the master on that bus.
