Where did you get the 10 pack from? I leave batteries in the units I use once in a while, but anything put into long term storage has the battery removed.

Do you have Graphing Calculator installed? If so, it will give an error when you open it on a 68k Mac. "Sorry, Requires Power Macintosh" or something to that effect.

Even 720p is pushing it for a G4.

System Profiler is notorious for miscomputing CPU speeds for third-party cards. I'd run Metronome (you can download it from Sonnet) to get the card's actual speed.

Here's a link to a site still selling the replacement cases. $449 is certainly an optimistic starting price on that auction. *shrug* People are funny enough that I wouldn't bet ag…

Wow! That's a good price! Do you leave all of your systems setup and plugged in? If not, I wouldn't bother leaving a battery in them anyway. I've lost several computers to expl…

Since I needed a bunch I decided to go with a bulk purchase and managed to find 10 packs for $28 shipped. Nearly every beige Powermac and Quadra I have thinks it's 1956. 8-o

PowerLogix made some replacement G4 cube cases that came in were black, white and I believe silver.

When I put the 1ghz G4 in my 7500 it wouldn't power up at first. It's a good thing I got an instruction manual because in the manual it says when you remove the old CPU you have to…

I'm surprised Ericsson didn't sue for trademark infringement.

Ah, good. 9.2.2 is needed for the last update to the ATi drivers so I just hoped it could be done. I've also heard that 9.2.x is faster than 9.1. So now I just have to get OS9Helpe…

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/G…

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not …

I've got pix on my camera, but I've misplaced my card reader and USB cable for my camera. And I have no idea how or where to upload them to the 'net anyway As to the model number…

I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up

Pics or it did not happen Wait which model number? I want to look it up!

Folks, Went to an AUSOM members-only swap meet on the weekend, didn't pick up a much mac stuff, a couple of Pismo CD and DVD drive units, a couple of games, stuff, boxes of stuff,…

I've just had a message from the person I bought the PAL Encoder card from. He says's he's found the paperwork for the Encoder card and is posting it on. Will add to the thread w…

When I first tried to power it up the PS would only click and the PS fan would make a feeble attempt to run. Thought I had been screwed with a DOA, but after some head scratching …

Hi, me again. We have a Quicksilver G4 at my school, and I've recently set it up as a browsing machine. If I'm correct, its a 933 MHz Model with 128 MB RAM, not 100% sure on the H…

Thanks for the replies, guys. The iBook seems to work when it wants, but so far its doing what I've asked it to do, I just wish it would stop doing these random "bombs". I might co…

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.
