That's certainly a cheap fix. Be patient with the teardown, and keep track of your screws. BTW, in case it wasn't clear from LC_Guy's reply above, the "Kanga" G3 Powerbook logic …

I would say anything pre 3d

I dunno- I think that's pushing it. Pre-Pentium sounds about right to me. As for game systems, make the cutoff be by bit count on the main processor. 8 bit, say. That would keep th…

If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I think I'm ready to pull the switch on this! I will check and see if they have the 240mhz board; but for $20 + ship, the 200 may be the most cost-e…

Thanks for all the info. Going to spend next weekend maxing out my Radius 81.

KANSAS CITY, MO — December 22, 2009 — Mark Simonsen, employee number three and later owner of Beagle Bros, will be the keynote speaker at KansasFest 2010. At Beagle Bros, whose pop…

Good point, I had already tried it in the beige, though. It didn't seem break anything. I can't think of anything I did to mess up the B&W when installing the G4. When I w…

We'll see how the CPU swap goes before I decide on overclocking. I actually have a Q605 and an LC475 as well as two 68040 donor machines, so I have some room for error. My end goal…

another interesting open application http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/13986 that i had to use in my QS G4 when signed into OS 9 because i could not figure out how t…

stay tuned for more details

Ah yes, I forgot about the 240MHz model.

Haha, looks like I've been beat. Oh well, this thing is still quite a quirky toy. I've got a spare 80GB HDD and I figure, if I can ever find a cable for the external CD, I'll loa…

The other one I want is an early HP OmniBook 300. The early ones were fun, they had a 'pop-out mouse-on-a-stick' (the mouse was permanently attached via a moveable rod, it would s…

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive…

Or better yet, track down a board from a 3400/240, the fastest stock pre-G3 PowerBook ever. (or just track down a Kanga board)

While you have it apart, why not shoot for 225MHz? That would make it the fastest non-G3/G4 Powerbook ever

nb: 40MHz is not always stable though. A heatsink/fan for the 040 would be a good idea. http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html Output Enablers sell some useful parts. …

That Epson is win. Welcome to the retro netbook club

Just checked mine, and I think that it's safe to say that these mice are pin six free

I'm finally getting around to swapping the 68LC040 in my Q605 for a full 68040. I have a 68040 donor machine ready to go, put I have no experience pulling chips. Any advice on wher…

Just lever the the cpu with a thin knife, SLOWLY. I would suggest no more than 1mm or 1/32" before moving on to next side and repeating, the pins are only 3mm / 1/8". Ok you cant r…

The very early sawtooth used the same psu as the B&W. Most sawtooths had two more pins on the connector.

The Gateway probably wins, hands-down, for combination of oldest and "netbook"; although it wasn't really possible to use it as a "netbook" when it was new. The roughly same age, …
