    G4 tiBook Motherboard

    I have been down that road also. The telling thing is that while running, I can freeze it up totally, and I can do it on demand! wiggle the power adapter [used more than 1] also freezes if you plug in either firewire, or usb device. I can at times [not on demand] make it freeze simply by...

    B&W Rev A - Is it really that bad?

    I have been running a B&W G3 Rev. A. for quite a few years without incident. Note However, that it uses a scsi pci card, and therefor, scsi HDD, both internal and external, bootable... Zero problems, Think I'll Keep her a few more years... YMMV RP

    G4 tiBook Motherboard

    Well Now it has happened to me... Having heard about poor motherboard design on the early tiBooks, I have been feeling lucky, and being darn careful, of the book I use for Work.
