Thanks for that, Wally.
Your mentioning tape gave me an idea, attach a peices of tape to the outside end of the card, leaving tabs big enough to grasp so the card can be pulled if…
Man, you are totally right, paws. IGNORE ME! I guess I forgot "Yikes!". Maybe because it's an exclamation?
But yeah, since my brain no workie today (I'm moving again and doing int…
Your Sawtooth uses a 66MHz PCI video card (if it has AGP, it's not a Sawtooth) which is markedly slower, regardless of the fact that the two chipsets are virtually identical (both …
Leopard may be part of your issue, as it's more processor-intensive than its predecessors. It's not even officially supposed to run on less than an 867MHz G4, if that's any indicat…
Hello all,
Just got a Sawtooth G4 - specs are as follows
500mhz
1GB RAM
Leopard 10.5.4 / MacOS 9.1 on the same 120gb drive.

For whatever reason, t…
Glad you got it out ok. I've seen this before: there is a mode where the eject mechanism does not seem to get cocked fully when the card goes in, so none of the usual ways does an…
I got the card out.
Turns out the eject mechanism for the lower bay doesn't work for reasons unknown, the card came out with no resistance.
The upper bay eject works fine, howeve…
Spewing.
Got given some PC stuff a couple of days ago, and in amongst it there was a PC card ethernet adapter, I was quite excited, Mum was mad that I had yet more junk, so in an …
Ugh. A mobo swap in those is a long process. It is fortunately rather straight forward, and less blood drawing than an 8500. I wish you luck and much patience.

A customer owns a Dual 1.8ghz PowerMac G5 that has issues. He also bought a stripped G5 containing a working mainboard. I get to take the non-functional mainboard from the origin…
Well I appreciate everyone's suggestions. I really didn't mean anything in particular. C, Pascal, Assembly... just curious what options exist.

Too much! Now I'm running Ubuntu 5 from the LiveCD [] ]'>
Trackpad's a little tweaky and it's weird having to remember to use CTRL instead of the Apple key. But I'll sor…
I noticed that when I looked at your signature in trying to determine more about your Beige G3, but when I posted that particular comment I didn't...I just assumed you were talking…
Looks like liquid may have spilled onto the board at one time. I'd also replace that 5 pin IC next to that burned out IC, along with that capacitor between them. I small soldering …
Now it has 9.2.1 on the third partition. Man does this thing fly in the Classic OS. I'm too excited for words.
I've run Battery Reset after heebiejeebies put me on to it. I'll …

On the other hand, maybe the original question implies a desire to program 6502 assembly on a mac?

I discounted that, otherwise the term "assembler" would ha…

Well, an update, though not one I'm happy about. I think I may have found the problem. I found a section of the logic board towards the very front, near the front latch, that loo…
It's possible it has a grounding problem because my iBook clamshell did not have the ground wire screwed into the metal shield and I could not get a charge or use the power adapter…
The iBook G4 may have been (relatively) free of the bad GPU issue, but it still had a fairly common issue: cracked solder joints, typically in the power section. There are some web…
