If you're really ambitious, you can get Leopard running on a B&W with a G4. Sure, it'd be slow, but there's still a lot of software out there that works fine on 10.5.

put the hdd in my classic II to see whats on the hdd and it booted the CC hdd Click to expand... you installed your hard drive from your Classic II into your Color Classic and …

I've had a similar problem with my color classic: I removed the logic board and blew out the dust with canned air and when I put everything back together the color classic wouldn't…

Well, I finally got tired of the dead B&W sitting on the floor, so I started checking ebay for a replacement motherboard. I ended up scoring a Rev. 2 B&W motherboar…

Congrats on the LCIII restore. It looks great and even better when mated with that nice lcd and desk. Makes me miss my old 475.

Things are settling down a bit to be sure. What has been a major stressor though is the medical bills for the cancer treatment. Insureance is wonderful and without it i'd surely b…

If you must have PPC and more then 3 Nubus slots a 950 with a Daystar upgrade is the easier to get (then you get 4 free Nubus slots). I did this for my AVID systems. A 9150 would b…

I made it up into the attic a few weeks ago, and there are, indeed, three 91xxs in there. One of them seems to have some broken bits to the casing as the side panel doesn't want …

Holy heck dude :O I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity. Glad to h…

Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…

They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them. I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

LCGUY beat me to it. It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X. So yes, it does belong in this list.

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Has anyone seen the clear eMate? This reminds me of that. Very cool!

My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…

heya Temetka! Yes, I got an SE FDHD and SE/30 on Thursday, which will get a seperate thread when I'm done with squeeing about having them. I'm going to build an uber-SE if I can. …

Great score on the CC. I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust. Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of ma…
