I've got the Docs on both slots in GttMFH:Second Edition. You might find it online somewhere, if not, I can copy the pages to pic-n-post for you. The ROM Slot is actually one of t…

Tell me the next time she wants to burn a DVD. I'll help her out... for an iPad. lol

I thought you said you were giving one away for free! Dang't...

Only on a truly ancient system. On anything faster than about 200 MHz, decompressing pictures on a webpage should be trivial. On a 100-200 MHz system, it should only be noticeabl…

Jerk! Seriously, I loved my 1.07 GHz G4 iBook. They're great little machines, and fun to take apart. Enjoy it!

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Using my friend's Blackberry to connect to the internet was greatly helped by Turbo mode. However, does rendering of images take up much CPU power, …

You're going to make all of us "dead portable" owners jealous!

Good luck. I'm tempted to drag my Portable out to play, but alas I'm out of town this weekend. I'll do it when I get back.

This page http://labs.opera.com/news/2009/03/13/ implies that Turbo Mode compresses the images, but the page lays out the same. Thus, it's more for connections that are bandwidth…

Not bad at all. I still have my iBook G4 (1.33), though I'm now using my TiBook/867 a lot more (bigger screen, and I'm trying to eat my dogfood more with Classilla -- between Class…

Lucky SOB...

Use it to play Civilization! http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/civilizationiii.html Or use it for chatting, surfing non-flash sites, iTunes, DVD watching, …

Are you referring to the "oldworld rom" or openfirmware, whatever its called? Even though there is no AGP in these, I'd still put it in the G3 category because it is A) a G3 and …

Does the portable even work?

Great! What computer are you coming from?

I've been on this quest to resurrect a Portable from motherboard death. A well-known portable collector gave me a box of motherboards from the non-backlit and the backlit series. I…

Man I have a Amiga 4000 in my storage unit. Video Toaster boards, OS 3.9, the Flyer board and this card called the Farajouda (sp) card that provides S-Video in/out for the Toaster.…

I'd like to see if anyone else can test this theory... I installed Opera 10 on my 1GHz G4 iBook and enabled "Turbo Mode" which renders the pages on Opera's servers, then sends a mu…

Hey ya'll! I just got a free iBook G4 for helping a friend migrate data from it to her MacBook, then connecting her BlackBerry to her MacBook! Specs: 1.07GHz G4 w/12" Screen 25…

Yes. The 512K will access the 800K drive as a 400K drive with the 64K ROMs. You can also format it as a bootable 800K MFS drive which is an amazingly useful thing! Follow these ins…

With the help of Byrd, I recently did a successful ROM switch from my 'dead analogue board Mac Plus' to my 'dead ROM Mac Plus'. Of course one mac had to lose, now I have a vegetabl…

Very nice score! That thing sounds like quite the beast. Especially with the DVD-ROM . Replace the HDD and add another 256mb of RAM and you're flying. The pismos are great perfo…

It is nice to have the original box/docs/software. The dead HD should be easy enough to replace.

Got a FREE pismo today! An old man gave it to me, i was thinking spare parts but then i got this: PowerBook G3 Pismo 400 MHz 256MB ram with a broken hard drive with a working! …

It was my fault actually, I had my private messages disabled. Just changed the setting back again. I'll take the discussion back into PM, should work now.
