If you just want to install the applications from the iMac G5 system disc unto the iMac G3, give Pacifist a try (the link is in my previous post). If you're trying to install Tige…

I managed to get ahold of a Panther disk (thanks to one of my pals). When I inset it everything is okay, but when I hit "Restart" so the installation can begin, it give me a messag…

If you just want the apps, use Pacifist. I've done this with older OS X 10.2 OEM discs in order to get AppleWorks to convert a document from .wrk to .doc and I was able to extract…

I forgot to mention that the G3 has a DVD reader Drive thingamabob.

Wait a minute.... Get XPostFacto and try the disk or if you just want toe apps find the terminal command to enable hidden files and look through the packages you want installed.

Unfortunately, the disk is exclusively for the iMac G5. All grey-colored Apple install discs are. You'll need a reatail 10.2 or 10.3 disc to install onto the beige G3. 10.3 will ne…

Our iMac G5 came with software disks, as all Macintosh computers. I took the "Mac OS X Install Disk 1" disk and I put it into the G5 (which now runs 10.5.3). Inside I saw the Insta…

I may be able to obtain a logic board from a 600 MHz G3 iMac cheaply. Can this be put into my 400 MHz iMac? If so, what (if any) modifications are necessary to do so? Thanks.

Sonnet works (for instance, the 500 MHz Encore) from 8.1 to 10.4 with XPostFacto. Click to expand... But this is for the beige, right?

I don't know. Maybe some game would conflict with it's drivers, which will also slow the whole system down. I heard that it would also restric mac os versions I can use. I need ful…

If I took a faster processor, it would have to be from 3rd party manufacturers, which I don't like very much and could lead me to incompatibility problems. Click to expand... W…

Also, if you want better speed, use 10.3.9, and stay away from 10.2, and 10.4 Click to expand... I only have Mac OS 9.2.2 and 8.6 installed. It's just what I need for now. And…

one of the problems you could be having, is interfearance inside the CPU itself. If you get it too fast, you may be causing electricity to cause interfearance from the heat INSIDE…

What is the maximum voltage for that CPU?

Here's an idea. Settle in at 450mhz and stop pushing it to 500 before you fry it. Bumping a 400mhz chip to 500mhz is a 25% overclock, which is really pushing it with air cooling. Y…

Could PSU be the source of the problems? the computer freezes at 43°C when running at 500mhz.

That's an interesting and rare bit of kit. I think the CF-IDE adapter you reference requires yet another adapter to work. You want to be sure that the IDE interface is specificall…

It'll work a treat, I've tried a couple of very generic looking ones with a Sandisk 1 and 2GB CF card which allow for booting, both on a PB3400 and 5300 (don't use it on that reall…

Hello guys, So I have this Macintosh Freestyle Tablet (basically a PowerBook 5300). The problem is the hard drive overheated I believe and has been acting funky ever-since. Altern…

That is the Open Firmware boot selector.. It shows you the bootable volumes. Clicking the circular arrow refreshes the menu choices indeed, f.e. because you put a CD in the drive…

Hi, I posted earlier about the PowerBook G4 that gets stuck on the loading screen. I'm not sure what version the laptop is, but everymac.com said that some versions of the laptop…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan? Click to expand... Only the fan screwed to the original B&W rev.2 Heatsink. If I get a heatpiped one, I'm afr…
