There is no magic bullet but persistence, and even that will fail if the PB is unserviceable.
Check the AC adapter, for output voltage and temperature, after 5min and 1hr. Is it …

With New World Macs I get, I'd like to be able to find the RAM amount quickly and easily, so is there an Open Firmware command to get the total amount of RAM?
When I powered down for the final time, the battery still had well over 30% charge and it was no more than an hour later when I attempted and failed to boot it up again.
I reset t…

There are quite a few possibilities. Just for one, the battery was barely-charged, and the presence of the CD-ROM drive (which is constantly polled by the system 'in case' there i…
I picked up a 3400 on eBay a week or two ago. It was sold w/o an ac adapter but w/ a charged battery.
When it arrived, I played with it a bit, booting it up on two occasions.

I am 99.99% certain these hacks will only work on a 233Mhz Rev A board.

Yes, I also emailed the company and they said they don't know about Macs, but it needs a capture card of some kind. So now I'm going to have to look for a capture device.

Hello everyone,
I have a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet with 9.2 installed. 233MHz model with 256MB of RAM. The machine runs fine with OS 9, but I decided I'd install Mac OS X. I read th…

From what I gather, 8.6 is the minimum that will run on this iMac, and you say it would need less than 8.6. Does that mean there's no way to get this to work?

My B&W gave me fits until I did a firmware update on it. I went from 8.6 to 9.2 to 10.4
