I set it up like you said, 80 gb drive as master on primary bus, dvdrw as master on secondary bus with the os9 drive as slave to the cd drive. I made two partitions on the 80gb, on…

So I have a copy of 10.1 Unlimited Client Server and I thought it would be a hoot to install it on my Yosemite as it is very quiet, sucks up a max of 200w and has a monitor power p…

My friends 1.07GHz iBook had a weird issue last week with its stock drive. After the grey loading screen, it would just sit at the blue screen and you can hear the hard drive tryi…

Last night I picked up my old iBook I sold to my old room mate over a year ago. The HD has died, again. Both models were the Toshiba MK3021GAS 30 GB notebook hard drive. First t…

Eef, if there was a hole blown in the lobo, sounds like the poor little thing has been put out to pasture. I'd nose around for another lobo for it to see if you can breathe some li…

Like there isn't enough of those, however this is different. I just installed Panther onto it and all was well. My mom uses it today and all is well, she shuts it down and then she…

Hmm, forgot to mention I'm using 9.2.2. Other than using external speakers through the headphone jack, I'm coming up short.

Seems to me all G3 macs have their sound over the top, it is annoying. The only thing I would suggest is Hear, but I don't know if that works on Tiger.

My Blueberry G3's sound is entirely too loud, even on the lowest volume setting. Any way to get it quieter? I have to turn the sound down on each program, which is annoying, and an…

I got one of my friends to tell me how he did it with his G4 iBook. He had to boot into Open Firmware and run a command to do it, but it (USB DVD-ROM) worked.

Everything I've read says they wont. Only the intel ones. I'll just snag a firewire cable this weekend and try disk mode on my G3 if I can get THAT to boot OSX......

I hate to say it, but it sounds like that one's past doing too much with, apart from stripping for parts...I'd look around for another 1400, working, and keep that one for parts. A…

Plenty of G4s will boot from USB, although none of the Power Macs will IIRC. It's worth a shot on the mini.

Not sure you got an answer to your question, so here's my shot at it: In addition to 120MB superfloppies, those drives will also read 1.44MB disks. Sadly, 800K (or 720K) disks are …

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…

Well the mini takes a laptop optical drive so in theory you could use some random ibook/powerbook drive if you want.

Hi! i have one of those powerbooks 500 with a nupower PPC 630e at 117mhz, and like you said... that's a really solid notebook, the innards are made of steel! 8-o , very impressiv…

I've got firewire in my B&W G3 but it doesn't run OSX.

You want www.unna.org , as an earlier post said. There was no internal modem, because the MP was made to use PCMCIA expansion cards. The square cover you mention is more or less i…

You have no other firewire mac's to boot from? I once restored an OS X disk to another mac's drive and told the target mac to boot from that. Can you say über fast install?

Yep I see that now. Sweet. I've always wanted a paperweight.

PowerPC doesn't boot from USB. Firewire only son.

I've concluded the cd drive is broken. Gonna see if I can format a usb drive to boot the osx installer.

Right, I forgot about that. Keep in mind that it will take ALOT longer then normal permissions repair.
