Posted an Ad wanting cheap mac laptops and someone offered me a iBook G3 500 with 'some' damage. Well the screen is scratched (not cracked but scratched), the keyboard has duct ta…

I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many ra…

The only dead motherboard I cannot revive (so far) by replacing capacitors is one from an 840av that has some gook under important chips. I can't tell from your picture how much co…

The funky ghosting and fadedness point to hardware, not software. If you plug it in to an external monitor, does it work? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. I don't have an e…

Not that big, TBH. The software took up most of the space.

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead be…

If you are experiencing that era, why not install the legendary Word 6 to go along with it?

I think we are fine as-is. If you want to see the new posts without all that effort of looking for them(it is so hard isn't it? Just cannot click that many times and look.. ) th…

The sonnet was the root of all the issues. I need a L2 Cache DIMMM then to make this mac usable.

Cool, Pics will be up later today? Anyone know how to Re-Cell a battery? I have a few old iBook ice Batteries that I can kill.

Just whatever you do, dont do what I did. xx( :'(

Nice! How big was everything in total?

About the system 7 Theme, the PPC MLA has a pretty good theme. But the forum spy is what I'd like the most.

I reinstalled the driver for ATi, it takes Mac OS a decade to boot, and finder hangs. Its on a 400mhz G3, it should be fast! The sonnet accelerator is one of the worst boards I ha…

Alright, thanks a lot! ;D

Oh yeah, also a Palm Pilot Professional w/cradle/case.

If it is approved, perhaps by 2020 it will be installed onto this forum. Click to expand... :lol:

Does anyone on here re-cap Classic analog boards? I've got several that could use it.

Well we were supposed to get a System 7 theme 2 years ago. It never happened. The only major change was the change to PHBB3. If it is approved, perhaps by 2020 it will be installed…

Hey everyone. I was thinking about this great 68K forum, we all know it is a small community, but the information is vast. It's a very tight community as well. Sometimes I wish I …

Well, I have an overupgraded Powermac 7200, with G3 Card, 208mb RAM, ATi Rage VR, and Gigiabit Ethernet. The ATi Card Driver was terrible. It would cause the system to lag, hang, a…

It has the number 2, and is vastly more stable than any other OS.

Personally, if you've got a IIx, I'd leave it as a IIx if possible - remember, although the IIfx is much faster, if you upgrade it with a IIfx mobo, you'll have a IIfx, complete wi…
