Congrat ! Will try that Scratch Brush on one of my 3400/240 boards . Only tried with a tooth brush, and it couldn't reach every places.

I could definitely do what I need to do on the net with my Powermac 6100 -- itd be sorta pokey, but y'know //wthww

So this thread has been going for a while now and as yet my 9600 hasn't made an appearance, so I figure seeing as though I just reshuffled things and put it in a more permanent spo…

Any update on the BIOS dump? Have you had any success? It'd be interesting to compare it with the "plain" Intel version and see where the main differences are.

In my mind, "put Ubuntu on a Power Mac G4" isn't really very exciting. It would have qualified for the first RetroChallenge, but it seems like RC has become more project-based. The…

I think I'll try the keyboard from my working PB 3400c first.

I used a fiber optics eraser first to remove the verdigris and then water and after that Isopropyl alcohol. But I forgot to look on the bottom side, although I held the logic boar…

Good to know. Thank you. I misread Techknight. I would clean the connector really well with Scrubbingbubbles... or whatever you use, since I know you said that's not possible …

To replace the keyboard connector would be a bad thing. I found the keyboard compatibility here: http://www.welovemacs.com/9223109.html

[(I agree with Techknight, but As a note - Is the 5300 keyboard fully compatible with the 3400c?  (just as a warning - i don't think i'd personally leave it in there permanently - …

you will need to replace the keyboard connector itself, as its likely corroded and not making contact. 

Gentlemen, please...

Inboxed you about bezel macman! Definitely an improvement over the lack of bezel I currently have hahah And yeh I really do enjoy using the CC... it is an absolute slug even by…

Hi WilyKat, about this card, do you want to sell it perhaps?  I have a Quadra 800 that needs an upgrade.

I got a new PowerBook 3400c/200 (my second) - the Kanga must wait some more days, as it has more bugs. So the 3400c was said to have a buggy keyboard, nearly all keys don't wor…

Alright, Mr. Stick-in-the-mud, but this thread is about PowerPC for modern tasks, so if that isn't interesting to you...

The one about Macintoshes with 680x0 processors. "Modern" PPC on isn't terribly interesting, especially with OS X >10.2/any cross-platform Unix. Just run an x86 box, less ha…

It is detecting the drives. I dont see what the problem is?  the IBM drive may need formatted. Also, you will need to change its SCSI ID back to 0, but that wouldnt stop the drive…

Well jeez, then you'd be just running Ubuntu on crustier hardware. Whoop de doo.

I need your help because the new drive I bought still isn't working. Here is what I get from Apple Personal Diagnostics with the old (above) and the new (below) drives: No name…
