    Powerbook G3 Obnoxious Battery

    Given: A G3 Lombard with two batteries. I also have a stand alone battery charger. The machine recognizes the presence of battery #1. It runs on it and charges it with no issues. The machine does not recognize battery #2. This eliminates a problem with the machine. I've tried both...

    SE Dual Boot?

    I thought I'd pull my SE out of the closet and play. It's a basic SE (not an SE/30) with 4MB of RAM. I replaced one of the 800k floppy drives with a 150MB hard drive years ago and it works well - for what it is. I decided I'd try to make this machine a dual boot between 6.0.8 and 7.5.3...

    8500 G4 Issue

I've rigged this machine with 768MB of memory, two 4GB and one 9GB hard drives and I boot 7.5.5, 9.1 or 10.2.8 depending on what I need to do. The only PCI card I...

    Yahoo IM 2.5.3

    I tried to use Yahoo Instant Messenger V2.5.3 tonight and I got an unexpected announcement. "This older version is no longer supported. Please upgrade...yada yada.." Here's my issue. I'm running 10.2.8 and can't go any higher on this machine. I booted on OS9 and tried it again. Where this...
