    short thread re ibook g4 battery condition

    considering that the two 1.33ghz models were discounted sales-wise in 2005 or 2006, I had never ever thought to check that specific part of the system profiler last year and only finally did look at it this month while testing around the ibook itself for a bit and.. it turns out theres only 252...

    quick topic regarding different g5's and re ecc

    ecc ram was only supported with 970fx based xserves and 970mp based powermacs right? I can't seem to have found any reference to ecc ram for 970fx powermacs otherwise so am just curious about whats quite correct after all (I did noticed wikipedia said that there were two different northbridges...

    found the new additionals to the 3-slot hack topic interesting .. and regarding daniel's remarks yesterday, that had me simply wondering if the vram controller was hard-limited or could someone crazy enough had possibly doubled it or so on the logic board itself? (not for any sort of performance...

    non-liquidcool G5 tower's and their fans?

    sorry if its already been mentioned at some point in the past but i'm curious how fussy their logic boards are with whether the fan was physically present or not and also regarding using a quite different new fan (which would have a different feedback if thats a thing with the G5's logic board)...

    re bundle(s) inside retail software..

    while finally doing a bit of early2023-late cleanups I was thinking a bit about the hypercard 2.3 box I have and hmm i'm curious if some softwares were always meant to be released with a bundle included or did sometimes two variations exist for a short time like the vanilla kind of original...

    silly 17-inch studio crt monitor question

    question about unusual diamond javelin card?

    I checked the archive copy of diamond's site for 1997, 1999, and even after a certain buyout in the 2000s but it doesn't seem like there is any reference to 'javelin' series, only either stealth video cards or hauppauge-rebranded (as the model # sounds too obvious on there) tv tuners, etc .. so...

    lisp cards question

    just had to wonder what kind of processor these ran? (and I assume they're lga style too since it looks like one card had the original processor removed in favour of an upgrade daughtercard that has a bga variation mounted offside instead) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/364294457442 and if noone minds...

    performa board series names?

    after writing to defor I realized something I apparently hadn't thought about for quite a while.. did eg the 6300 board even have a serial name or not as so much compared to eg that the 6360 was an alchemy etc? (macinfo list only has names for either the 6100 or the 6360 utilized boards but not...

    macintosh classic questions..

    I assume that the ram upgrade, if any were present, is simply pulled upward to get out right? and if any hdd was already there did that have to be removed first or not so much? and does the logic board really just simply slide out of the rear 'tool less ly', a little alike to how it does so on...

    quick question re macintosh classic and a boot disk

    always been used to cd-booting up to till now, so seeing I don't even know much anything about booting disks on these kind of early systems I thought I'll ask here to be certain.. would one of the two 1.4mb images on https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-system-6x or the first link under...

    regarding ibook g4 hdd thermals

    I know theres only so much one can do about thermals but mm anyway.. just wondering if a newer hdd would had been any improvement (as I know that sometimes when I compare scsi specs it seem like eg this extra-old drive needs 10.7w while the less-old drive of same capacity only needs 9.2w etc)...

    silly ibook g4 charger/battery question..

    just curious about this and excuse my somewhat limited wordings but - I presume that there is basically two charger controls aka the primary one onboard and the other one controlled by the os itself? noticed that the orange ring light at power cord end would switch to green for a moment while...

    re ibook g4's combo drive..

    its a matshita cw-8124 as per the system profiler.. (and interesting enough while writing this I found out that the mini g4 used the same drive at at least one point?) just curious if it could had been simply switched with another slot-loaded slim drive or is there any particular...

    sorry about a somewhat short thread topic but anyhow.. just wondering which language it possibly is for that particular keyboard which has a short left shift key as to fit a new umlaut-u key to the left of the z key and similarly it has a few special character keys around the iso return key...
