    Offscreen GWorld examples?

    Good day, all. I've been looking into the classic Mac OS (late 68k, early PPC era) for developing a game project I had in mind. And while I'm making a little bit of progress, so far it's been hard to find examples of what I'm looking to do, or if it's even possible. I was originally thinking...

    PowerBook 180 fixes

    I'm wanting to get my PB180 back up to snuff. I've left it in a cabinet for awhile, and the battery had swollen up and is now leaking acid out of a crack in the casing, but thankfully I had removed it from the 'Book a few months ago. I'm in the process of getting another battery, but I had a...

    PowerMac G4 upgrade questions

    Hey all, I've got a Gigabit Ethernet model that I'm wanting to upgrade. It has the 500Mhz Dual Processor in it, and I believe it has a GeForce 2 or 3 in it. I also got it sans memory, and the SCSI card, hard disks, and hard disk 'caddy' is missing. It also has an upgraded DVD Burner in it, but...

    PowerBook 180 clean install?

    So, I have a PB180 that was running 7.5.3 for awhile, but that didn't work out so well because of how slow it was. I had been told to try putting System 7 Pro on it, so just recently in a massive clean, I got everything back together for another try. I got the System 7 Pro disk images from when...

    Sync options in a modern environment

    Amazingly, I found my Newton that I had 'lost' at college. Put it in a drawer, then never saw it again. It ended up back at the house, but as I wondered why I hadn't used it more, the realization flooded back: I had no way of syncing this thing to any computer I had. Its a MP2000 with the 2100...

    iBook G4 problems

    I got what I thought was an absolute steal today: An iBook G4 in amazing condition for 30$. I had no assurance on the computer's working state, but was willing to take that shot (I'm in need of another laptop...and G4s seem to be my favorites). Well, I get it home and plug it in, and...

    Pismo dead drive controller?

    I've had a PowerBook Pismo for the longest time. I got it for free from a guy who said it wouldn't start. I took it home, got it to turn on, and what followed was an obsession with...the G4? Yeah, it had a 450Mhz G4 processor in it, along with 768MB of RAM and a 40GB HDD. I loved this little...

    PowerMac G4 GigE issues

    Hey there, new to the forums, but hoping you guys can help me out some. About 2 years ago I got a PowerMac G4 AGP, GIgabit Ethernet version. Its a DP500, and I've upgraded it to 1GB of memory. I used it mainly for general computing for awhile, then tried installing OS 9 on it (with great...
