Most people have a nasty tendency to think that memory is something where you specify a memory location, the CPU applies that memory location to the address lines, then the CPU rea…

Addenum to Holy Grail with a bit more info, from http://theducks.livejournal.com/492985.html I hang out on a number of modding boards around the internet. The "Holy Grail" i…

Do you know what hardware this is? I only have a IIgs, so I suppose that is incorporated in the Mega II, but what about on the older models?

Soft switches have a hardware component: there is circuitry that reacts to particular address lines being tickled. That's why things like peek can affect them from BASIC.

Here's a question for which I have not found the answer: The Apple II, as you should know, has some soft-switches, memory locations which cause some setting to change. My question…

Some people have basically recased a laptops guts in a box and made the LCD seperate using a home made cable. There are old ISA cards that talk directly but they are probably for o…

Technically, Mac OS did not drop support for 400KB disks with Mac OS 7.6.x. With System 7.5.x, a lot of floppy disk handling shifted from the core OS to PC Exchange, or whatever it…

I needed new clutch hinges for my Pismo so I won an auction on eBay that contained two sketchy LCDs and one set of hinges. So I have a couple of spare Pismo LCDs. One is supposed…

The IIe and IIC, however, have a working shift key. Click to expand... I know that, I'm just old-school.

I run 10.4 on a 800Mhz G3 iBook and it runs fine. No more sluggish than Jaguar and Panther were.

it will take some time until you have conquered the device. Click to expand... I've been learning that, but each time it does something I don't want it to, (I learn) and am ama…

I believe that keyboard simply switches the layout to Dvorak and back again to Qwerty--is this true? And, I'd hazard a guess that the 80/40 key switches the resolution in GR mode …

I have no probs with spotlight on a 466, though dashboard definitely needs to be ditched. Tiger should be right snappy on that unit.

did you run a hardware test? i wouldn't be too worried about no chiming. my sawtooth g4 has been doing that for a long time with no ill side effects. Click to expand... My dua…

you will need the cd rom drive for the hardware test. does anything come up on the screen when you turn it on?

10.4 should be perfectly usable on a 900 MHz iBook. I would probably disable both Spotlight and Dashboard, but even on slow laptop hard disks I know some who persevere with them st…

I was surprised to see that the ibook series stayed with the G3 all the way to 900mhz, and I am just wondering how those run 10.4, and how the high end 900mhz G3 compare against a …
