The only thing is, if you're using an old Apple display, the monitor must be a multisync monitor, ie: a Multiple Scan or AppleVision Display.
If you're using a third party SVGA mo…
Tried it on a G4 450 with PCI Radeon Mac Edition + 1GB RAM. It ran like an absolute dog compared to 10.4. It's not especially fast on my 1.33 Ghz G4 and that's way above the spec…
AFAIK, there is no reset app on the clamshell -- the one that I'm familiar with works with the earlier G3 powerbooks. On the clamshell, only an extension gets installed, and it's …
The flickering is a sign of insufficient voltage. Either the battery is marginal, or the power regulator board has a problem.
The crashing could also be due to power instability. …

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes?

Presumably you need an IrDA Communications Tool…
Using OF commands, after amending the settings for thermal-info I got the fan to turn on straight after booting, by setting them to 01010200 00000000 01010200 00000000.
With the o…

IIRC I installed all the .pkg files from here:

downloaded and installed the wavelan drivers and it eventually worked with a lot …
Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.

Yes you can. The port is the old …
I've got a 2400c spec'd very similarly to yours. My NUpwr is the 240MHz variety.
Anywho, I couldn't say anything for sure about the first issue. It could be that something's aging…

Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton never caught on.

I don't think available software was the main problem for the early Newton. In fact, I …
Just so you know, from a message sent to the NewtonTalk mailing list on June 14th:
Dear Newton Users,
I'm pleased to announced that ATA Support can now be downloaded in a

Folks,
I have the same problem as Didius, but different.
Couple of months ago, I rescued a 'dead' iBook (G3/300) at an AUSOM meeting, I was told by the person that gave it to me,…
Really?
That is AMAZING. It's like the iPhone but even worse. I'd love to see some scans of this secret contract bullshit.
Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton ne…

If it's spitting out factory-pressed DVDs (I'm taking your "all DVDs" literally), then your drive is likely toast. Dual-laser drives use an IR laser for CDs, and a red one for DVDs…
It was a very good deal. My Pismo is so much brighter now! It also was becoming a bit pink in the left corner which was a sign that it maybe wouldn't have lasted a whole lot long…

Well done -- congratulations! As you noted, it's not so much hard as it is tedious, with lots of little steps along the way. But it's well worth doing, given that a $10 tube can re…
SUCCESS! It was a tricky thing to do, but everything worked fine. I agree that you should work slowly and carefully. I managed to not break either bulb (old & new).
The…

If you have trouble starting it up in the future, try the reset button on the back. I've had to prod that a couple of times to get my Lombard to wake up.
Good info there tomlee59. I got two hours of solid websurfing out of my $20 as-is Lombard battery last night on my first test run, but it went dead with no warning and the battery…
Am trying to revive a dead 2400c/180 in the next week or three.
As detailed on this page, among a handful of others in English, there are some dozen or more fuses in the innards o…
Just work slowly and carefully, and you'll be fine. Never force anything, don't bend the tube. It's not super-fragile, but do be careful. It can actually flex a bit, so no need to …
