Congrats on the iBook! Hope yours fairs better than mine did...mine was plagued with problems since the start, and it finally failed a few months ago with the infamous GPU issue.

I used to have a 1.33GHZ iBook, that was a champ and served me awesomley. Great laptops!

Ah, but that would be the easy route, plus there's already GNO/ME.

Hi,And if anyone can offer me any spare 400k floppy drives they may have, internal or external, let me know. A spare floppy drive or two would certainly come in handy now that…

This isn't even from Apple or apple.com. No way.

I am still worried about whether this method will make the plastics brittle, or has some other long-term consequence which no one knows about yet. When it's been 2-3 years with no …

check the jumper settings on the drive... It's been a while since i played with scsi stuff, but there might be more than just the scsi id jumpers? Maybe you need to terminate the …

I've got a partially restored Quadra 700. It came with nothing, no RAM, floppy drive, hard drive, or even internal device cables. It now has all the internal devices, maximum RAM…

Most LC475/Quadra 605 machines use a FPU lacking 68040 CPU, which will make any video encoding painfully slow; at the very least get a machine with the full '040 chip (of course it…

Quadra 605 all the way.... but cheapest? Click to expand... Mine were five NZ dollars each, so that must be about 50 USD?

Quadra 605 all the way.... except I'm not sure if I've ever seen one advertised... and they can be a bit pricey... is my gut feeling... so smallest maybe, & 605 is good, sm…

There is not a 6GB HD in. Runs much better however the CD drive is flaky at best. It will read the OS 8 and 8.1 CD but not the 8.6 CD. It will also not read Duke Nukem 3d (disk …

Mac128, I went with the 3% Oxydol over-the-counter stuff with "basic stabilizers." I determined that those stabilizers were pretty much the same as what are found in the US grade …

Congrats! I love my G3 iBook. Has served me well for almost 7 years now and recently got a brand new battery. Click to expand... You are one of the lucky few. Right after I s…

Great job - and great photo gallery, very detailed and instructive for others to follow easily. Thanks!

The folks behind "RetroBright" are all good people, but they use concentrations of H202 that are just beyond reason. ... you only need cheap, drug store 3% peroxide to do the job, …

Congrats! I love my G3 iBook. Has served me well for almost 7 years now and recently got a brand new battery.

I also fixed the KeyBoard by using keys from an old iBook G3 Keyboard. It is now like a hybrid clear and solid keyboard. Very cool. Kinda like Coius's PowerBook Bronze keyboard mod…

The TiBook will be my secondary Laptop, in case my MSI Wind Fails. Also may be my video editing machine if it is 867MHZ or higher. Don't know what model it is.

Lucky! Those are one of the most reliable of iBooks. What are your plans for the TiG4 when you get that?

Oh thats cool! I am shipping two RAM Doublers if our PowerBook 150 deal works out.

Another Conquest here! (Sorry in advance since it is not really vintage, Judging by the conquest wars going on...) Got me an iBook G4 from a family friend! Said he didn't need it …

JDW, I saw your pics in my 68kmla flickr pool's RSS feed last night, and they're incredible! This is really a great job, with stunning results. Thanks a lot for sharing. Your pictu…

Hi, Just bought this as a Buy-It-Now on eBay for a total of $50.00. The seller includes the keyboard, mouse, and even the owner's guide as well! So overall, I'd say, a great eBa…

At least I can upgrade it so it is a bit faster. The HD is being a pain and freezing a lot when using OS 8 while trying to read a CD and other things. I think I will replace the H…
