For me, I would say Intel all the way.
G5s seem to have a number of reliability issues - from faulty PSUs to liquid cooling systems leaking - if you Google around, you can see ima…
The only thing stopping me from selling my MacBook Pro and getting a quad G5 is the risk of not being able to run 10.6 when it comes out. I would much rather have a tower than lap…
Depends on your needs.

Thanks for the reply, beachycove. I'm glad the problem is being tackled by people who know what they're doing. I, too, will wait until the last possible moment to install the patch…

I have the wavelan silver and it never shows up as an airport card in OS9 or OSX. For OS9 I used the official drivers I found on the internet and they work find. For OSX I used:

A different solution appears to be under development. There is a reasonably active open source development community around the Newton OS, so hopefully this nut will soon be cracke…

Ok, I found my images, burned them, and now I remember why I stopped using it on the WS.
Even with the 10.2.8 update, every time it reboots, the backlight is off. I have to press …

I did the same thing with my duo. The only way to fix something like that is to find a startup disk for your computer or pull the drive, hook it up to another computer (with a usb …
I have been in and out of my wallstreets (5 of them) so much I can probably do it in 30 minutes or less.

OS X does support SCSI. I am unsure about the serial port and I know the DVD decoder does not work (I tried).
Good job at stripping all those parts in 2 hours I must say. Would …

Alright, I got it all assembled. It's booted to my OS 9 disc, writing zeros on the 10gb drive, should take a while. I might burn OS X Jag again, since my copy is messed up.

Well, there is a firmware update for the processor card it's self, as well as a driver for it. I think I need to install the driver first, and I wonder if the firmware can be insta…
