Ibook Clam Shell — #6

If you want newer versions of software (like Safari 4) then you'll need to run 10.4 on it. I don't know about the 466MHz models (they may actually be just fine) Click to expand…

Power Macintosh 8500 - Almost working! — #4

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

What to do with my LC III... — #10

If it has a Ethernet card, you could run some server programs on it. I made a LC III into a LAN Mail and DNS server. (Both programs were made by Apple.) You could also make it a…

Power Macintosh 8500 - Almost working! — #3

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #1

Getting my LC III on the internet! — #14

To be fair, my Performa 6100/66 works fairly well for web browsing. I can even use gmail from it, using netscape 4. And it's only 66MHz.

The best version of OSX for the clamshell is 10.3.9 for speed and overall usability. If you want newer versions of software (like Safari 4) then you'll need to run 10.4 on it. I …

What to do with my LC III... — #8

I used a Performa 400 (same form factor) as a monitor prop back when I used a CRT. They work great for that sort of thing.

How do you remove the PM 5500 fan/HS? — #1

A while back, I determined that the installation issues with my PM 5500/250 I had were due to dried CPU grease. I'm stuck on how to take out the heatsink and fan assembly though. A…
