Thanks, I hope I stops right now :p . I have to many old computers and videogame consoles lying around the house already :) . I would prefer to first get everything up and running :) . Love your avatar. It is actually the first video game I every paid the shareware fee for sadly got a code...

Thanks for the kind words, guys. It is a shame that it only comes with 4mb of ram. The upgrades seem to be a bit on the expensive side! And a harddrive uprade doesn't seem to all that easy. Battery is dead in the water (naturally), might try to revive it). Time to upload Tom Spreen's breaker and...

Although I have tinkered with macs in recent years it has been ages since I actually purchased one. Today @ my local auction picked up a good looking Powerbook 150. I know it s not the best model but at least it uses IDE. For 8 euro I couldn't resist. No psu but I had one laying around from my...

Super cool finds! Especially that outbound laptop thing! You should do a complete photo series of that. Hopefully it works and hopefully you can find your Apple 2

My quicksilver just got replaced by a pentium 4 as my main system (yeah I'm modern). Since I also own a cube (it was my dad and I'm keeping it for nostalgic/recipe computer in the kitchen) I was thinking of transplanting some parts. Ram,GFX card and HD. And I was thinking is it possible to...

cool,I posted something, not a lot though. The cat here doesn't like me typing!

clean the chip with lemonacid after all the goo is gone clean it with acohol. this will stop the motherboard from corroding further!

Me like one too. god these are popular!

Hi guys, For evening classes I'm following we are learning command-linux and I thought about using my Wallstreet Powerbook G3 as an excersice tool. I looked up all the info. downloaded BootX and debian harddrive installer from this site...

Install Niceplayer and Perian. These two help you play lots of codecs better (also flv's). I mostly use xineplayer for anything avi (divx,xvid). for you tube I use youview which is excellent. I even donated to it. My main computer is still a QS G4 867Mhz with l3 cache and 1gb ram. I rarely run...

That kinda blows sending you the wrong one. I for the life of me couldn't get the cresscendo drivers working under 7.6.1. Otherwise I would downgrade in an instant. I much prefer 7.6.1 over 8.6 or 9.2.2. So much faster. And for what I do with my systems not much difference in functionality...

Considering you can use it to display RGB computers like Amiga's or Atari ST's I guess it should be possible to hook up any RGB device. Considering that RGB gives a much better colour image then composite. You should try to hook up your device through there rgb ports. You will need to make...

Thanks for these tips guys. Adding a number would also put them before the rest no? Will try later today or tomorrow. I don't have an HPV card only an AV card surely this must take some of the stress away from the system ram. In general it feels much slower then my PM8200/110. Which doesn't...

You don't use youview? then you can run you tube vids pretty fast

great story, welcome and don't get to addicted!
