Building up an obsolete machine is something you do for the love it rather than because you need a more powerful machine. As you stated, more powerful machines are cheaper than bui…

Thanks for all the responses. [] ]'> The ROM on my B&W G3 CD is 1.4, and on the 'retail' CD it is 1.6. Unfortunately neither one will boot my G4. When running th…

Right -- thanks. Very interesting piece of kit -- didn't know this was possible until running across this thread. http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-to-44-Pin-LAPTOP-IDE-Hard-Drive-Adapter-b…

For Desktop Devices Click to expand... So no. You want one for a 2.5" laptop IDE/ATA connection, which is a much smaller 44 pin connector. And I'd look for a single ended one…

I see there was a firmware update listed for the sawtooth G4s in 2001. It says it is for improved compatibility with OS X. I'll need to learn how to use Open Firmware to see if tha…

Ok, I just opened up the iMac (I accidentally cracked some plastic off while lifting off the bottom housing, but don't worry, the iMac still works just as it did before), and had a…

Hi, Ok, in a bit I'll open the iMac and see if there's a dead battery. (Even if it's fine, I'll probably replace it anyway.) Now, you mentioned resetting the PMU. Let me remind…

And the 10.3.4 and 10.3.5 combo updates that I tried- the dmgs wont even mount. Click to expand... (a) download them again ( B) try and mount them on a different machine.

Thanks for the help guys, Don't really have a NEED for DV, at least on this Mac, just curious. I wanted to use leopard because of built in screen sharing as I'm running the mac h…

From now on he should be called Wall-e.......

Thanks for that, Wally. Your mentioning tape gave me an idea, attach a peices of tape to the outside end of the card, leaving tabs big enough to grasp so the card can be pulled if…

Man, you are totally right, paws. IGNORE ME! I guess I forgot "Yikes!". Maybe because it's an exclamation? But yeah, since my brain no workie today (I'm moving again and doing int…

Your Sawtooth uses a 66MHz PCI video card (if it has AGP, it's not a Sawtooth) which is markedly slower, regardless of the fact that the two chipsets are virtually identical (both …

Yes it's Leopard's fault all the way. My Dual 450MHz chokes with video in leopard. Tiger, works fine.

Leopard may be part of your issue, as it's more processor-intensive than its predecessors. It's not even officially supposed to run on less than an 867MHz G4, if that's any indicat…

Glad you got it out ok. I've seen this before: there is a mode where the eject mechanism does not seem to get cocked fully when the card goes in, so none of the usual ways does an…

I got the card out. Turns out the eject mechanism for the lower bay doesn't work for reasons unknown, the card came out with no resistance. The upper bay eject works fine, howeve…

Ugh. A mobo swap in those is a long process. It is fortunately rather straight forward, and less blood drawing than an 8500. I wish you luck and much patience. TBird

Well I appreciate everyone's suggestions. I really didn't mean anything in particular. C, Pascal, Assembly... just curious what options exist. MPW and OrgASM or DASM looks inte…
