Anybody Have A Quark QC10? — #4

Looks like you're right... after reading the manual I'm inclined to agree it's a retrofit, in which case there's probably little chance of the original circuitry being in the box.

dead PowerBook G4 500 — #4

I've never heard of a PowerBook with a GPU detachment issue. At least all of the iBooks I've been through with that problem would power up, though they'd be without video. This thi…

Anybody Have A Quark QC10? — #3

Doesn't look home-brew to me... my guess would be that they used the same back panel for both the SCSI version (as pictured) and the Smart Port version for the IIc. The IIc version…

You can't use a mini VGA --> VGA adapter as this results in washed out colours. Click to expand... Just get a loop through of some sort, that usually stabilizes the vide…

Pondering a 700mhz Headless eMac Conversion — #10

Remember the pinouts posted on bodnar's site are for a completely different model - the ATI-based eMac 800Mhz+. The nVidia-based eMac 700/800Mhz models are different beasts comple…

Best OS for iMac G3 — #10

I definitely find Tiger better - better Web browsing, faster, better functionality, and more up-to-date security updates and the like. If you have less than 384MB RAM, or a CPU sl…

Bump the RAM to at least 512 megs and pop tiger on 'em. I run Tiger on my G3/500/512 PowerBook, and it's extremely zippy

Anybody Have A Quark QC10? — #1

This QC10 on ebay appears to be an upgraded, retorfit floppy disk model. Anybody know if Quark sold them this way? with all the holes in the box it sure seems like a home-brew job…

Pondering a 700mhz Headless eMac Conversion — #8

I really do want to go for a case that looks... good. :lol: So there's no chance it'll be a classic Mac case. Besides, if I found a 610/660/6100 case I have a 6100 board that nee…

Best OS for iMac G3 — #8

I had, until recently, near 'nuff identical (8/2001 and 3/2002) Indigo iMac/500s, with 768 and 1024MB of RAM, side-by-side on my desk and running 10.3.9/9.2.2 and 10.4.11/9.2.2 on …

Just for the sake of disagreement, I've found Tiger much better than Panther on my iMacs/iBook (even with a meagre 512 MB). Aside from being a lot more stable (in my experience) th…

Can IrDA be manually controlled? — #12

An IrDA port is just a serial port, I think, so it should be trivial to programme. The bondi iMac I took apart certainly had its IrDA ports connected to a standard mini-DIN serial …
