Ahem, iMac, not iMAC. As long as you find an OS 9.1 disk, you should be fine.

It sure seems like a software problem. At the very worst, reinstalling OS X should fix it.

Thanks Guys for the advise. I have removed the main battery and plugged in the pram battery and plugged in the charger. I will leave it on overnight and see what that does.

You might be able to boot up from the os x disk and repair permissions.

An Apple IIc LCD popped up on there a while back - cheap - the auction ended early for around $150 I reckon. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the very same one with a highly inf…

I remember seeing this in 2010 where Roy Scheider sits on the beach using one. It actually holds up pretty well as a laptop you'd see in 2010, except for the ribbon cable connector…

Yes, but I'm not sure it's $999.95 worth or rare. Since the auction ended with no bidders, I'm guessing most are in agreement. Perhaps a relative of one of our unmentionable US sel…

Backup (not just pram) batteries have several functions in a powerbook, so that it is unwise to rely on a powerbook without a functional backup battery. The Pismo in particular wil…

The PRAM battery in pismos is rechargeable. It recharges after the main battery is full. It should be possible to operate with a dead PRAM battery. The long time necessary to ho…

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…

I do it on my iMac all the time. Power: i would hope so Mini-DVI: connected to 18"CRT Ethernet: wired to PowerMac G4 for uber fast transfers Firewire 800: don't have anything t…

Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use. Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back: Power: Duh! Ethernet: Crossover cable to a customer's laptop, with the MacBook acting as a bridge…

I had all the ports of my PowerBook 150 (SCSI Ethernet, Localtalk to PB 180 and Power). I also had all the ports on my Acer Aspire One filled (Power, VGA, Ethernet, USB DVD-ROM, i…

That's interesting. There were no jumpers on the drive, were there? Sometimes drive manufacturers or resellers will ship drives with jumpers installed, as some computers need to ha…

thanks all for the great and quick input. I'm far from a techy, so I'm proceeding very slowly... here's summary what I've found: - as above, with both boards in slots recommended …

Search for the "Lisa/Macintosh XL Do-it-yourself Guide" from Sun Remarketing. It is largely a reprint of Larry Pina's guide to basic Lisa repair. Off the top of my head, I'd recom…

Someone already collected enough information to set up a recent IDE harddisk drive to make up to 32 MB of disk space available for the Lisa. Flash memory is also supported. The aut…

Memory is not the culprit if you only get two low beeps. I had a bad board (which I had to replace with a spare I bought on eBay) and it was a low beep (an E-flat) followed by two …

There are some people online that probably have experienced that exact problem with a Lisa 2 and could tell you exactly how to fix it. I would wait a while and see if you can find…

From what I've seen, older computers are most often plagued by capacitor problems - I'd check the caps first. If they're bad, search the forum for 'capacitor' and you'll get a good…

I have two in active use, one as my main server, the other as backup and test server. Both run 10.4.9 Tiger Server on 1.1 GHz PPC750GX CPU's, 1 GB RAM and 4-port SATA cards. Next …

In OS X DP3 it was still possible to delete the Aqua theme file, the OS changed to Platinum if you did it.

Yes, please clarify that. Thanks!
