Thank you! I'll get some PB B'laster or machine oil and try it out :)

Amazing work!! That's going to be really useful. Definitely keen on trying this out when it's available!

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.

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...

Very cool thank you! Will test on some of my machines

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...

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...

Wow amazing work!!

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.

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...

There's at least one on the logic board near the PCMCIA slot, and three on the underside of the power card :confused:

The 500Mhz CPU is nice! They're quite hard to find now. I'm pretty sure the power cards fail on the Pismo often. I had the same issue, no power or signs of life but after replacing the power card from another Pismo (working) it booted normally. It would be worth re-capping the machine as this is...

Thank you @dosdude1, much appreciated!

@treellama where did you source your AM29F040B from? Should I be looking for one that operates at 12v? In the datasheets I've looked at for AM29F040B these models run at 5v and I haven't been able to find anything on eBay that explicitly gives an operating voltage.
