Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #5

Power Book G3 'Lombard' 333 — #3

Fantastic score! I too was given a free Lombard 333. Note that a motherboard from the 400MHz model includes the hardware DVD decoder, which will work even with the 333MHz CPU.

The machine has the basic 64MB RAM, which would be the chip soldered. Nothing has been added. Would buying a RAM stick help? Click to expand... Adding more RAM at this point is…

Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable — #13

That makes sense. The oxides of the solder could very well have a far higher melting point making them immune to the thermal output of a standard soldering iron. That is an annoyin…

Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable — #12

I suspect that most of the solder is directly under the capacitor: the rest has been mostly corroded away. I do see some solder on the outside, but I can't tell if it liquefies whe…

iBook G4 — #2

Be very, very, very careful replacing the top case, especially when replacing the power switch. I destroyed an iBook that way ($700 down the drain). iFixit will give you all you ne…

SE/30 VRAM Capacity W/ 24 Bit Addressing? — #4

It is often mentioned in articles that describe how to directly access the VRAM (indeed, such articles are the first hits for "swapmmumode quickdraw" in Google), because in that ca…

Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable — #11

It won't melt? I didn't think HighK solder was ever used in Mac/PC construction, especially not that far back, except for military/special application systems.

Building a Dual Floppy Macintosh Portable — #8

Why don't you replace the HDD with a Tray Loader CD? Click to expand... Won't fit. The drive bay in a portable is 3.5" deep, and a CD is 5.25" diameter. It seems dual floppy P…

Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #4

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…
