It had 10.4 and I wiped it because it had a bunch of teacher crap. I plan to put 9 on one partition and 10.5 on the other. I've restarted the Machine a few times, and the CRT is …

It has now been several years since I last opened up a 400K drive, so my memory is foggy on certain details. But I can say with certainty that two things make direct contact with t…

Check the video cable connector, I've heard just insulating it with electrical tape can fix alot of bs depending on what is up with yours. (google a bunch, dont dye on crt, etc...)

What's it running? I guess X.3

Very nice Mine has a undecided CRT, It is sometimes DIM and sometime Bright... [Edit] Since I cant edit my OP I'll put it here: Pictures:

Hopefully you don't have as many problems w/ your eMac as I do w/ mine. My eMac is "special". Here is the ritual of getting it started up: 1. Cross fingers and press power butto…

Hey everyone! Just got my eMac 700. It was a teachers and had a trillion stickers. I haven't powered it up, but dang this thing is heavy!!! I might put OS 9 on it :beige: I'll…

You're very right, and I respect your decision. Sorry if I have been rude. However, a better idea would be to advertise here on the Trading Post, the 68KMLA's own stop for sell…

Hi all, I'm back from a leave of absence from these forums; I stopped posting for a while following a few problems between me and certain other members here. I'm back in the hope…

It seems that MediaWiki doesn't allow uploading of ZIP files due to security issues. Why specifically do you need to use ZIPs?

ZIPs are in the list of allowed extensions... so I'm not sure what the problem is really...

It's a setting in mediawiki, I had to configure mine at stenoweb.net/wiki/ specifically to allow PDF files for example. TL could probably change the setting, what is it that neces…

Yes, I fear that your TiBook has developed a problem with the BGA joints under the graphics chip. This problem is unfortunately widespread (the early iBooks were infamously prone t…

Hello z, Thanks for this, I can't say I'm technically experienced enough to have even imagined that if the drive may be on its way out that it would still write in some formats bu…

My thoughts on posts like these are the same as a few people have mentioned. Essentially, don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. In my years on this board, which are (wi…

I understand the hoarding issue, it is something many of us have faced - myself included. I have since paired down my collection to these: 8600 BeigeG3MT Sawtooth PB5300cs iBo…
