I know Ubuntu won't boot from the CD on Old World ROM machines. You need to install a bootloader and OS 9

I had Dapper Drake on my iBook for a while, gave up on it because I could not get used to it.

I seem to be having a hell of a time installing Linux on this. Ubuntu/Gentoo/YellowDogLinux/Whatever won't boot, and OpenSUSE boots, but won't install (Exits out of the installer …

it's rather easy to replace the drive. It's much like the tray-loading iMac. All the actual computer components are on a tray that when you take the screws out of it, it just com…

haha, nah. This is the most it will go to. As much as I would like to take it further, I understand that the limitation with most of the early G4 CPUs is a 50Mhz speed bump. I don…

Woohoo! she is now cruising at a beautiful 500Mhz!!! And it's damn stable too! I have been running a few CPU heavy tasks at once over the last 20 minutes and it's with nary a hiccu…

Should work just fine - but I wouldn't count on any of the claimed performance benefits for this particular pair of modules making any actual real-world difference - RAM overheatin…

It will in OSX, but OS9 requires it for audio as Franklinstein said. I think it gives some sort of error about audio hardware on boot, but I can't remember for sure.

I've never tried, honestly. Probably because I always wanted it to have one, usually the Wings card. Anyway, the way those things are designed, the Personality Card slot is essent…

Thanks!

As long as it's the lower density stuff with chips on both sides it should work. Sometimes high density works but I've never had great luck with it in those machines.

Hi, I found 5 sides of it. Not sure if it is protected or not. Reading to learn Vocabulary Disk1 Adventures of Lollipop Dragon Function key Adventure Plotting and Programming …

It's fixed. I had to reset the Open Firmware password, then go to single-user mode and force a new admin account to be created. Although they were given a set of Mac OS X 10.4.10…

For the 83Mhz bus you need pc100 ram, same with the early wallstreets that used 83Mhz FSB.

If you're comfortable with the soldering, 50Mhz x 2 will help. It's likely that's all you'll get - most early G4 CPUs you could only get another 50Mhz before it crapped out. JB

I would say your main question is this: Do you want to enjoy this machine by playing with it and using it now and then, or, do you want to enjoy this machine by really challenging …

Yeah, I would stick with Tiger on anything slower than a 1GHz G4 - and even then I'd prefer a DP G4, plenty of RAM, and a decent video card. M

For future reference, if your discs just keep ejecting rather than starting up, try disconnecting the keyboard. I was using a PC keyboard which kept ejecting the drive on boot for…

Popped the bugger out, shot it with compressed air, shot a little air inside the machine, popped out the tray and gently sprayed in there a bit, popped it back in, and boom! That …
