Yeah, that happens... Sorry

AND NOW I HAVE THE CLICK OF DEATH!! :O >

The best one I had was not really the same class (it was my grandmother.) She complained that one day her iBook just stopped running, and nothing she could do could get it running…

... I can't believe that, with such a long history of failures, laptop manufacturers haven't devised a more robust method of getting power. ... Then again, it's absolutely brillian…

I just set up one of my IIe's on my desk. I have it sitting under my 20" Dell LCD, which has a composite input, and setup a serial connection (Keyspan PDA Serial-USB adapter) to my…

you still need to make sure that the drivers are installed. if not the game server wont see the port

never played with anything more than a IIe. Have always wanted a gs, of course. -digital

for those that do not know, to boot a IIe (and I had to remember how to do this), when you flip on the power, you get Apple //e at the top of the screen, it is scanning for a disk.…

after a month of waiting, I finally got the damn thing sometime while I was away the past 3 days. It works just fine, has a 5.25 disk controller card in slot 6, and a Super Serial …

MagSafe is indeed wonderful. I wish more portable devices had something similar. That said, the pre-MagSafe connectors still seem underdesigned for no particularly sane reason (ot…

Glad you got it working.

Until it catches fire...one thing that i'm going to be incredibly paranoid about when i get my MacBook (no, i'm not dissing MacBooks...i'm going to OWN one in a month or so!)

Yes, it's surprising how many 'books (and windows laptops) have been afflicted with this same problem. I can't believe that, with such a long history of failures, laptop manufactur…

Nicely done! The power connector fault is one I've seen countless times though it often means there's more free/cheap "broken" machines for those who know how to fix them! I'm sti…

So a friend of a friend hears that I'm wacky for macs, and gives me a dead clamshell ibook that he had gotten from still someone else long ago, thinking he'd get around to fixing i…

You'll probably want to stick with ADB on that machine as the USB card requires drivers (it doesn't have drivers in the ROM like later machines) to work and thus won't work until t…

hello from the beige. I popped 10.2.8 on it tonight. Runs like a champ with 384mb, quite a nice rock stable machine, until my dad figures out how to KP the thing. He already locked…

alright, I got it all set up, hooked up, and I am typing on it now in iCab 3.03 under OS 9.2.2. One issue I am having is I can not get the Deskjet 812c to work. It's hooked to the…

Beige's are great machines. I have one that has been working great for me for years. Good quality machine. Almost as good as my 8500, almost.

all I know is my head is spinning with all of these video card names. I know about them all, but when you list them all in one post, and connect them, that's a major brain fart …

People say "Rage IIc", but they really mean Rage II+DVD (the two are virtually the same thing, and the underlying 2D/3D acceleration of the II+DVD is the same as the IIc). I've ne…

The BIV would be a Rage IIc...the Rage II was basically a redesigned Mach64. On top of that, those were the only three chips that Apple used on the Beige G3s: The Rage IIc, Rage II…

I installed the ATI utilities, and it recognises the PCi card as a Rage Pro. The built in stuff is a Mach64, and ASP identifies that as having 4mb of VRAM. No idea how much the car…
