Too much! Now I'm running Ubuntu 5 from the LiveCD [] ]'> Trackpad's a little tweaky and it's weird having to remember to use CTRL instead of the Apple key. But I'll sor…

I noticed that when I looked at your signature in trying to determine more about your Beige G3, but when I posted that particular comment I didn't...I just assumed you were talking…

Looks like liquid may have spilled onto the board at one time. I'd also replace that 5 pin IC next to that burned out IC, along with that capacitor between them. I small soldering …

Now it has 9.2.1 on the third partition. Man does this thing fly in the Classic OS. I'm too excited for words. I've run Battery Reset after heebiejeebies put me on to it. I'll …

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 inter…

On the other hand, maybe the original question implies a desire to program 6502 assembly on a mac? Click to expand... I discounted that, otherwise the term "assembler" would ha…

Well, an update, though not one I'm happy about. I think I may have found the problem. I found a section of the logic board towards the very front, near the front latch, that loo…

It's possible it has a grounding problem because my iBook clamshell did not have the ground wire screwed into the metal shield and I could not get a charge or use the power adapter…

The iBook G4 may have been (relatively) free of the bad GPU issue, but it still had a fairly common issue: cracked solder joints, typically in the power section. There are some web…

Yes, it did cross my mind when you joined up. The other macdan is a bit of a Powerbook guru. Click to expand... I'm just some noob that gets lucky.

I don't know about the ibook g4, but if it's similar to the g3 version, the backlight inverter gets its power through a power MOSFET switch on the logic board. If you've already sw…

So have you tried bridging the two pins? Have some random Combo drive in my Pismo (from a Dell Pentium 4 notebook), did the same mod and it works a treat booting now. The Pismo s…

I don't know why I brought up an iMac G3.... : Anyways, if your Beige G3 tower has the Apple Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card, then you need to apply this firmware upgrade: http://docs…

Thanks for all your help in solving my problem, I will probably just buy a replacement from a local vintage computer supplier this weekend. thanks again

Until you can find a replacement PSU or work out how to fix your existing one, I think you should look for a simple swap. The Apple II FAQ (easily found on the net) describes the …

If you just want to install the applications from the iMac G5 system disc unto the iMac G3, give Pacifist a try (the link is in my previous post). If you're trying to install Tiger…

it still pulls only 5 and 2 though.

As long as the mac is plugged in I'd should be ok.

If the iMac G3 has FireWire you can install tiger from the G5.
