how long before — #8

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…

Should I do it? — #2

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…

iBook battery reset => Back alive? — #3

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 …

Powerbook 2400 — #4

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. …

Can IrDA be manually controlled? — #3

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes? Click to expand... Presumably you need an IrDA Communications Tool…

Openfirmware and Pismo — #2

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…

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. Click to expand... Yes you can. The port is the old …

Powerbook 2400 — #3

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…

If it crashes with intensive programs maybe it's overheating?

Why are newton developers such greedy pigs? — #26

Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton never caught on. Click to expand... I don't think available software was the main problem for the early Newton. In fact, I …

iBook battery reset => Back alive? — #2

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…

iBook G4 spits out all DVD's — #2

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…

Replacing Lamp in a Pismo Tonight — #5

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…

Replacing Lamp in a Pismo Tonight — #4

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…

Replacing Lamp in a Pismo Tonight — #3

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…

Pismo 'Refurbishing' — #9

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.

Replacing Lamp in a Pismo Tonight — #2

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 …
