Tried that. Fixed a few icons but that's about it.
Also tried 24 vs 32 bit addressing.

My Performa 400 has been mothballed for about a year, but I finally cleared some space today to set it back up.
The board was recapped before I put it away. It looks like one of t…

Picked up a cosmetically immaculate 400MHz Titanium PowerBook G4 last week, wasn't powering on and needed CD drive replacement.
Had a spare 500MHz one at home, working but with a …
Another poster has suggested a 9500 logic board as a replacement. Having recently tried this, blindly following a thread in these fora, I can report that transplanting a 9500 logic…
I have two mint and boxed, a 450Mhz and a 500mhz. And the prices have dumped. Like $75 for the 450 and $100 for the 500. Ahhh! These things used to be pretty rare. Oh well. I'm sti…
WoOt! I won one of the items I have been looking for, for a while. 1 used Powermac 6360 for $36.65 ;D Hopefully it arrives in good shape, but so long as the powersupply function…
Hey thanks, Christopher. Using the OS' built-in burning feature was indeed my first suggestion in order to try to distinguish the issue between hardware and software, - and will be…
I remember using one of these at a Buzzle (yeah, talk about a blast from the past, I actually have a brochure from them that I got the same day that was released a few months befor…
Yeah, the phrase "kit" made me assume it was 2 4 MB SIMMS in each. :-/
However, it's not that bad at all. I plan to use two of the packs to add RAM to a bare Macintosh IIci boa…
Is it just me, or do others also find it EXTREMELY annoying when eBay sellers (and others) advertise sets of smaller SIMMs as "kits"? :-/ I'm sorry it happened to you
A guy at work had this and didn't have any use for it.. it's a G4 Cube, 450 MHz, 786MB RAM, 20GB, DVD-ROM, in LIKE NEW condition with the original speakers and discs. I just upgrad…

Well, CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! >
These turn out to be 4 MB kits with x2 2 MB SIMMS in each.
Still, after looking at the prices, I got a decent deal.
Ahh, yes...there really is something about the simplicity of older Macs that just seems to.....work that newer machines lack....

You betcha, comrade!

Do you have to use Toast? It could just be having a software hiccup, try using the Finder's burning feature or Disk Utility. For shits and giggles, try repairing permissions. After…
He has another powerbook I do not think it is the 180c, but it looked identical so I assumed it was just a slower speed (I didn't inspect much further) no power adapter, but iirc y…
Greetings,
Wondering if anyone has experienced this, something similar, or any thoughts on the cause or a solution. At my wife's office, on an iMac G4, using Toast Titanium, the o…
