Sorry to bump an old thread, but I thought I'd share my experience flashing one of these cards. I picked a fairly cheap SIL3112 card up off eBay for about £10 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400502065376). I could have spent less had I bought it directly from China, but I wanted it quickly. The...

Thanks for the advice about the SSD. I considered getting a SATA card, but a good one (I've been looking at the Sonnet cards) is a bit too pricey. OWC's legacy PATA SSDs look pretty good, I'll give one a go soon. I tried installing the CHUD tools, but the system preferences page for it doesn't...

Just fitted the new DP 867 MHz processor, the computer definitely runs a lot speedier - I was impressed that I am now able to play Flash video at full framerate and fullscreen. The CPU heatsink feels hotter, but I didn't burn myself on it and the computer wasn't crashing so it can't be that bad...

I did write down the diagram which I used to make the cable -

Hi everybody. I was just wondering if it is worth upgrading the single 1.0 GHz processor in my FW800 G4 to a dual 867 MHz from a regular MDD. I am aware of the two bus speeds on the MDD series, but it seems both processors run at the slower 133 MHz. This is the last thing I have to upgrade, as...

I was wanting to run dual displays on my PowerMac G4, but unwilling to spend £30 on the adapter to turn the ADC port into something more useful. This cludgy mess is what I came up with :) - it does work though! I used the connector from an EVC cable which I got on eBay for £2.50, but removed...

It reminds me of the equally huge Gateway 2000 AnyKey keyboards. Speaking of which, I'm using one now.

Prodded around with a multimeter and came to the conclusion that it was the actual connector. The pins inside it had been bent out of shape. Unfortunately I destroyed the connector whilst trying to repair it and to my dismay the replacement parts cost upwards of £8, so I just ordered a whole new...

IIRC, all of the G3 iBooks and some of the early G4 iBooks used an internal ADB port for the trackpad / clicker. Investigating it now, there are 4 pins - the same as regular ADB. If you could tap into that, you'd be all set. Just about the hardest part of the project would be keeping the LC...

I've even seen the guts of a jellybean G3 squeezed into an LC case, so surely it must be possible! 8-) http://www.command-tab.com/2005/06/19/imac-lc-iii/

See if you can cram the leftover G3 into an old Macintosh LC case. I'd give it a go myself, but I don't have an LC and I can't quite bring myself to gut one of my iBooks :-)

Having recently acquired an old iBook G3 Dual USB (with many faults) I have been doing it up gradually. One of these faults is the DC-in board. The AC adaptor doesn't charge the battery or start the iBook either. For power, I've been swapping batteries in and out of my other fully working iBook...
