    PowerBook 1400 series ROM and RAM tidbits

    I haven't done what you have, but if it helps I have 64MB and here's my ROM revision

    G4 MDD Power Supply Info

    @MBongo at Mac OS 9 Lives has a fantastic capacitor list/diagram they compiled for the AcBel PSU. Mine had leaking caps and that was beginning to cause all sorts of power related problems.

    Downgrading New World Roms?

    Yes that appears correct. - "ROM revision" I believe is the revision of the boot firmware located on the Pismo's ROM chip. - "Boot ROM Version" is the boot firmware version of the machine. - "Mac OS ROM file version" is the version of the Mac OS ROM file located in the System Folder. I don't...

    Downgrading New World Roms?

    I've done this with my MDD and wrote about it here. I'm not sure if the steps will be exactly the same, but be very careful and only do this if you have to

    iMac G4 upgrades - freezing during Tiger installation

    I'm glad you found the problem. OSX installations must utilise a lot of memory because I've had this happen many times and the problem has always been faulty RAM.

    Loosening Powerbook g4 Ti Hinges

    Is it possible to loosen the screen hinges without replacing them? I have a 1Ghz Ti where the hinges have started to stiffen up while it's in use, to the point where I can't close the lid until it cools down.

    Netgear MA101 Mac OS 9 Drivers

    Does anybody still have Thomas McQuitty's modified OS9 Belkin drivers for the Netgear MA101 Wifi bridge? There's not many references about this anymore but he wrote a guide on modifying the OSX drivers here, but doesn't mention the required OS9 modifications. Low End Mac and an old Apple...

    PM7100 No Chime, No Video.

    That's a strange one, the first generation PPCs can be tricky. Have you tried removing the Sonnet and booting without it? I know for sure that a 6100 will give the exact same symptoms without a new/good battery. Did you use an anti-static wrist strap? I killed a machine of the same generation...

    Beta testers needed

    Hello! I'm finishing a new application called Conversant, it's a chat room/messenger application for Macintosh. There's some small bugs I'm aware of already but I wanted to get some feedback on pain points and any issues that may occur during use. It's very simple at this stage, and is only...

    Mac Pro 2008

    Yeah I bought it from MacVidCards years ago. Bootcamp was fantastic and ran all current games well up until around ~5 years ago, maybe an upgraded GPU would have helped.

    Mac Pro 2008

    Nice one!! I've got the same model and love it, it's insanely versatile. Until ~5 years ago I used it as my work from home computer and gaming PC with an NVIDIA GTX 770 (4GB) on Windows 7. I still use it today for work, but there's so many different systems you can run on it with ease. One...
