The crack that has just appeared in the tiny strip of plastic in the center of the front edge, between the clicker and the latch, this bothers me more. I shoulda got a bezel in th…

At any rate, for $150 you can almost get a Pismo on ebay these days, so if you have a little more you can get a better computer than a clamshell iBook.

I personally like the clamshell iBooks... I paid about $630 for my Blueberry back in 2002. I still have it, though I modded it to remove the white metal shielding because it was co…

Do you hear the fan come on? If not, that's a problem... Are the vents unobstructed (internally and externally)? Is the G4 sitting on a hot plate? I have performed sustained, he…

I think the best thing to do is to list all the upgrades separately, and offer "free installation with buy it now" or something like that. I may even have the original 6 gig Quant…

Good to know! Thanks for posting your experience

All but the ROM and the internal ethernet work just from a retail 8.6 CD.

One other thing that has occurred to me that is completely unrelated to the topic of the correct firmware required for booting into 8.6 is whether any additional 8.6 system files w…

I have done a lot of googling and have discovered the following: If you have upgraded the sawtooth firmware (aka boot rom) using the 4.x update, the ability to boot into 8.6 is di…

You'll need to get a can of "Aroma of newly moulded plastic" to spray everything with. Include a calendar of 1999 and an invite to see the fireworks in Sydney at the end of the yea…

Let us know what the items end up selling for.

That's true. The original G3 ZIF is there, in the original Sonnet packaging. I was thinking I'd put the original back in and sell the G4 separately, with a link in the Mac listin…

Ah, sweet. I just also discovered ADTPro, which works a treat on the platinum. It's kinda like the A2GS except you need a disk drive, but I do like the loading of prodos over seria…

No luck for me yet, with ROM 2.5.1. My machine (ID 406) doesn't want to work with a September 1999 G4 boot CD. It also doesn't want to work with a retail OS 8.6 install with ROM 2.…

If you have a G3 ZIF laying around, I'd plug that in and sell it with that. Of all people, Bunsen, you should know the value of G4 ZIF's. It's not often you can get one for cheap, …

Nonetheless, there are those who will prefer a Beige G3 in quasi-original (?) cosmetic as well as functional condition, and be prepared to pay more to get it. Given a Rev. C ROM (…

Thanks for this. These prices are great.

It's not a TAM or Cube, so I wouldn't put it in the collectors bracket.

Interesting call Unknown_K, I'll put it to my boss. Right now it's showing whatever internal HD it has as grr And it needs a PRAM battery. I'm not sure the "collector" scene ar…

It's booting from CD

Thanks for the tip Dr. Bunsen ! Click to expand... Muh? Wait a minute! I read this on Wikipedia:...although there are issues when installing Mac OS X (above 10.0) if b…

Actually I think you would get more selling the G3 as stock with the original CPU and selling that G4 seperate.

Unknown_K and Quadraman, you both make good points. But rpaxton already has the Sonnet in his hands, so Definitely RAM would be the next thing.

Yeah I think I'll double list it in Apple->Desktops and Computers->Vintage
