The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find. You can fl…

400mhz, 64mb, 6gb hardrive, os10.0.3- $50! it still has a working battery that is supposed to hold almost 3hrs! i already upped the ram to 1gb, and it will get Tiger later tonight…

Right... It seems to be a pretty good battery, I think my seller was actually quite conservative in his description. I'm going to treat it well and see how the runtime goes. LiIon…

If the battery holds any charge at all, cycle it through a few full charge/discharge use cycles, and you might find it improves.

Wow! I got it last night...nice clean 400mhz Pismo with 512k ram...dual boot...wonderful machine! I think I'm in love with Mac all over again! Booted it up last night, the airport …

I still have my BeigeG3MT and I will have it for many years to come as far I know right now. It's not my daily driver - it is my link to the past. Some of us here romanticize or …

Just about the only kind of memory that doesn't work in a slot-loading iMac is "high density" stuff. You can get just about any crappy old double-sided 512 MB stick and put it in …

My LC III runs through something similar when i turn it on. it happy macs, then reatarts andboots normally.\ :?: Click to expand... That means it needs a good PRAM battery AFAI…

7300 in the bedroom, G4 MDD dual 1.25GHz OS 9 development system at the workstation. Another 7300 also runs the gopher server (gopher.floodgap.com).

I still use my 350MHz iMac Summer 2000 "Fireball", with its upgraded 320MB RAM. The 6.99GB Quantum Fireball is a bit limiting though.

I have a variety of PCI Macs from c. 1995-97, which (excluding my beige G3s, which are PCI too, of course) comprise a 6500, 7200, 7500, 8600/200MP, 2 x 8600/300, and a 9500. I also…

If I could get my 9500 working again, I'd sure be interested in it.

oh, just a quick last question: do you think a completely working powerbook duo 2300c (with charger and a battery that still holds charge for 30-40 minutes) for a g3 ibook is a fai…

Yes - love my 9600 here, still packs a punch. Cheap to upgrade and max out if you take time searching for parts. Problem was of course, the vast amount of machines and similar mo…

Is there much interest in PCI Powermacs these days? Seems like 68K Compacts and Quadras are still popular, and G4 towers and newer are also, what about the 6x00, 7500-9600?

theoretically pc XXx should be fully compatible with all systems using sd ram, the only two exceptions i have ever ran into is the occasional mac, and almost all Intel boards of th…

I sent you an email, dita. It should give you some tips to try. If you need System 6 or 7 on floppy disks, let me know. I still think it could be the hard drive. Drive "stictio…

That's about in line with average prices, considering I bought a dual 2.7 G5 for $550 on eBay sans video card and HDD. Whoever was saying 1500 was way out. You can get an early M…

and actually, I think I may have a (unknown working condition) spare! 8-o This is turning out to be just awesome.

There aren't any. Cardbus requires a PCI-based motherboard, and the 1400 is Nubus based.

It's a powered accept/eject mechanism, like a VCR, so yeah, it does. Luckily 99% of the time it's just one cap that's blown

Aw yyyyeeeahhhh!! I visited one of those guys once. Out in the countryside. He had two barns, a concrete shed, and a converted concrete water tank, all full of Macs.

The logic board has circuitry that divides the clock signal in half. I would need to supply a 16MHz clock to the logic board in order to run the processor at 8 MHz.
