Well, an update, though not one I'm happy about. I think I may have found the problem. I found a section of the logic board towards the very front, near the front latch, that loo…

It's possible it has a grounding problem because my iBook clamshell did not have the ground wire screwed into the metal shield and I could not get a charge or use the power adapter…

The iBook G4 may have been (relatively) free of the bad GPU issue, but it still had a fairly common issue: cracked solder joints, typically in the power section. There are some web…

I've got an iBook G4 (different iBook than the display plagued one) that has some sort of electrical gremlin going on. It's experiencing a few odd symptoms that have pointed to a …

How does it manage the stack? The basic 6502's 256 bytes in page 1 isn't much. Presumably it manages an additional psuedo 16 bit stack ptr. I managed to compile my favourite text e…

I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW. Click to expand... The Orca compiler you're thinking of is Orca/C and you can find it here: …

Have you looked into cc65? You ought to be able to build it on a Mac, and it supports Apple II as a target.

Curious if anyone knows of any cross compiler or Apple II Dev tools that run on 68k macs? Thanks, Nathan

I'd go with a firmware update. Its unlikely that OS X would have anything to do with it - despite the fact that I primarily run my iMac under Mac OS X, it will quite happily boot o…

You might be able to instal directly in Open Firmware.

Might be a firmware update, yeah.

Good news: I got a hold of ROM 2.5.1, on an installation CD for a G4 system. [] ]'> Bad news: The CD won't boot my G4! [xx(] ]'> According to the system profile…

Blame Apple. Top secret fees, overpriced docs. Apple wanted 895 dollars for the programming manuals for newton. DOCUMENTATION! Microsoft that same time frame gave away cdroms ful…

Please consider that some authors do not want their software to be freely developed after they have abandoned it. It is all fine and dandy to label them as greedy because of that,…

Just so you know, from a message sent to the NewtonTalk mailing list on June 14th: Dear Newton Users, I'm pleased to announced that ATA Support can now be downloaded in a f…

I have a USB2 PCMCIA card that I can use if that particular change is made.

For my Lombard I just pulled 5v from the pads on the bottom of the mobo from the USB ports. They are nice and exposed and it is super easy. I have never used much more than a keybo…

I've heard of some people (like this one) using the +5v from the PCMCIA card cage to run the fan off of a little switch they've installed. May be worth trying, or googling for othe…

Can't say I know the inside of the Lombard too well so I might be well and truly off the mark here but is there any sort of thermal sensor that's tripping (or in this case not trip…

I replaced the fan and it was spinning OK when installed. Heck even the original one looked OK.

Can you spin the fan with your hand? Check the connections.

Is there any sort of utility to turn on the internal fan on a Lombard? This thing is overheating and locking up. The cooling fan is not turning on at all. I'm working on a new s…
