So in a sense, if I want to overclock, maybe it would be better to stick with a Rev A board? Then I can just buy a pretty decked out G3 (well, nothing very fast) and stick with thi…

humm... I might stick with Tiger Click to expand... good choice, My Beige G3 AIO runs tiger quite well. Leopard strugles at times on my Digital Audio G4, it would probably brin…

If it makes you feel any better, all but one of the iceBooks I've purchased from eBay had no less than three replacement Ethernet ID stickers under the keyboard, while some have ha…

This makes me wonder if you've been following the discussion on CSA2 about the lores Apple logo. Click to expand... Why yes, this is the logo I did in response to limtc's posts…

Leopard must have a G4 to run but it can run on an upgraded beige: http://lowendmac.com/mail/0801mb/0130.html second letter.

You absolutely need a G4 to run Leopard from what I understand. Luckily you can drop in a G4 ZIF as long as it's 66 MHz bus compatible. The oldest I've heard is Leopard on a G4 up…

The rev A motherboards were the only ones that did 83Mhz I think (kind of like how the Wallstreet 1 did 83Mhz FSB while the later wallstreets were stuck at 66Mhz only).

Ebay seller IC-China has fast ZIF G3s for dirt cheap. They are sold as-is, but for $15 and flat $5 worldwide shipping, who cares? Look under Chips/Motorola and Chips/IBM. As for…

Just one thing - remember that VGA port on the 3400 only allows mirroring - you cannot run an extended desktop on any PowerBook 3400.

Additionally, sometimes turning the machine on at an angle and holding down the trackpad button is required for a 'gravity assist'.

thanks anyway

But mine works, just missing the sleep magnet :/

I thought about turning it into a headless server. Chuck a flavor of Linux on it, a DynDNS client and I'd be all set. They are noiseless and don't produce much heat. Hey, actually…

Hey, If you want, you can HAVE my iBook. It is a 500MHz. say $120 +the price of shipping?

Here's a disk image containing my rendering of the multicoloured Apple logo in Lo Res graphics mode. It looks okay on an emulator, but the cheap antialiasing really pays off on a r…

If yours is also the GPU's departure from this hateful existence, or at least a letting go from the MLB, find trag's post here about using modelling clay to protect adjacent compon…

If you have nothing to lose, might as well try the "home BGA reflow" procedure. Get yourself a heat gun and some bourbon (ok, sake will do). The drink's for you, the heat gun's for…

i used a G3 450 CPU from a B&W (it clocks up to 466mhz in the Beige G3 cause of the 66mhz bus in the Beige) it runs great. i also have 768mb ram in my AIO which alows it t…

No luck. It looks like he deleted some control panels. Will re-install 8.6.1

I once saved a program from an IBM PC 5150's ROM BASIC onto cassette, loaded it back in, then listened to the recording. This was just so I could say that I've loaded an IBM PC pro…

The mains RFI filter capacitor has exploded, caused by a period of disuse. The component is completely non-essential to the unit's operation, and you can safely continue to use it…

Depending on what System you're running, try checking the "PowerBook Display" or "Monitors and Sound" control panels to see if anything is available there. Also, the "Video Mirrori…
