You got lucky if it still has it's hard drive. Most recycling places yank the hard drives and scrap them which really irritates me because those early Macs use drives that are spec…

Geeko - It does have a CD drive that spins, also a floppy. I can provide a battery from a PB 5300 (NiMh) that holds a tiny charge. The unit did not come with a Li-Ion battery, they…

I'm guessing my G3 issue was a bad cache, luckily I bought 2 G3 266's in the same auction and the second card works. Unfortunately I do have the OS 9.04 upgrade issue now. I do h…

What and where can i find a OS 9 browser ? The browsers that come with OS 9 thru 9.2 are really flakey running in OS 9 . Click to expand... The two most 'up to date' are: iC…

does it have a cd drive or ram (or battery)? also, is its screen good, or would i need to do a transplant w/ my screen?

G - say, I have a 3400 with very good cosmetics but the "black screen" issue - probably a dead logic board/VRAM. I think I have decided not to try and fix this one, since my other …

If she can't deal with multiple drives then I'd think that she'd have the same trouble dealing with multiple partitions. So you likely have a choice between teaching her a little m…

The Tray loader uses strange frequencies for the CRT, so you could try it (Especially you, since you have a warehouse full of trayloaders). It would definitely bring new life to su…

The friend that gave that to me said it was used early on in a Papa Johns store.... Hotline to Pizza! They use red Nortel Norstar phones now.

Is that red 'phone connected directly to the Oval Office? ;D

The G4 cube was AGP right? I can't attest to the AGP version of the 6200, BUT I have done the reflash of a 6200 PCI for my B&W upgd G4 450 machine.. It's got the 66 mhz p…

Yeah, sound crackling seems to be common among the 3400c. Me and my brother's PB3400c make a "crackle" sound only during startup, when it's loading the sound extension. Perfectly f…

I know under os9 that the dual is not much if any fast than a single cpu but under os x a dual 500 mhz would be like a single 700 mhz please confirm. ie my spare cube is complete…

Seems to be a grounding issue. if I pull the power plug and run it from battery, it completely stops. Faulty PSU perhaps?

That "copy" of Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 is likely an updater for 1.1 or 1.1.1, not a full version. Apple Personal Diagnostics was sold as commercial software, your best bet…

That's strange. I never noticed that the apple was "upside-down" when you carry the bag by its handles.

My original post was a bit confusing because of the talk of two machines. It is possible that the charge board is flaky, but the board (and entire machine) in question is the same …

Wow! That is an awesome find, thanks for sharing the photos with us!

I check batteries on 2 known working machines just to make sure the charging board in the one I first used isn't dead.

Now here's a good question. What would cause the speakers on the lid of the 3400c to "Crackle"? Like with static. I fixed the issue I told the seller about with the screen artifa…
