I received this with a recent conquest of an Apple 15" Display. It also came with an Apple 205W Power Adapter P/N M5849. They appear physically compatible with each other, but the power adapter seems a bit over the top for such a small device (its over twice as big and easily 6 times the weight...

I picked up an iBook a while ago that has recently shutting down randomly. Today I used coconut battery to check the charge on it. This is what came up I received another iBook today from a recent conquest and I tested the battery that came with it and it tested at 4000 MaH. I popped the...

I just purchased another iBook G4 to replace the one I damaged 2 years ago. I tested it, and Software update ran perfectly fine and installed updates with no issues (Running Leopard). However, I swapped in the hard drive from my old hard drive (running Tiger) and now Software update won't work...

Back in elementary school, there was a math game I used to play. I thought it was called MacVirus or something, but I cant find anything that matches what I remember. The game was situated around stopping a computer virus that liked to eat computer chips with walls of blue robots or something...

I recently came across some more of (and bought one) the 1 GHZ G4 Sonnet Encores on eBay, and I noticed that it doesn't use the stock heat sink, and it doesn't seem to have a provision for the grounding cable in my Beige G3. Am I ok to just remove it, or is there something I'm missing? Other...

A while back I attempted to install Tiger on my 266 MHZ Beige G3. Today I received a Sonnet G4/500MHZ CPU I had bought off eBay. I installed it and tested it. I decided to reattempt my Tiger install. I ran Xpostfacto with my Tiger DVD in my DVD drive, it began the install and appeared to reboot...

I just picked up a PowerBook 5300cs off of eBay. It just arrived today along with the manual. It is in near perfect condition and it is still running 7.5.2 and it had img files of all the OS disks on the drive. The battery seems to hold a charge for about 10 minutes or so before going to sleep...

I just got these off of eBay. Next time I go to the Apple Store, I'm wearing at least one of them :D

I pulled out my power supply to clean it up a bit underneath, and I decided I would try to add an 80 conductor cable to my G3. However, I found that the connector is slightly different from the IDE found in a standard PC. Pin 20 appears to be used in the G3, but isn't on the drive itself...

The hard drive in my beige G3 (running 9.2.2) scanned as having problems. could I get a second hard drive, copy the contents of my G3s drive to it, and expect the new drive to boot? I've done it with floppies before, but I'm curious if there would be any issues doing it with a hard drive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300363277979&ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123 I set it up and everything except for the battery works great!!!

I have a duo 210 that won't boot, and I seem to have lost the floppy drive for it. I want to get access to it so I can fix my finder and system files (played around with them in resedit and swapped them). I need to be able to move the backups of the original files back into the system folder and...

Just thought I'd share :beige: I was cleaning up the basement and noticed that the old 486 on the desk could be replaced with something a little nicer. I figured it would make a nice, relatively period correct photo. Also, I know the keyboard isn't correct, I just don't have a keyboard for...

By now most of you know about the 500 floppy lot I won on eBay and what happened to the shipment. I still have just under 100 disks and I did promise to image them. A couple of you have volunteered to host the images and I appreciate that. I am going to start making some images tonight (after I...

Ok, so if you read my buildup thread, you know that I have a 300 MHZ beige G3 minitower that I'm trying to install tiger on. It has 768 MB ram, rev. c ROM (recognizes second hard drive in os9), pioneer DVD rw drive, 80 GB Maxtor Hard drive, and the stock drive with os9. I formatted an 8 GB...

Does anyone have any photos or other information about this machine? I know they never went beyond the prototype stage but it would be fun to see more pictures or information about this machine.

Over the past couple days or so I've been working on a G3 mini tower I picked up on ebay for $30 shipped. So far all I've done is clean it up a bit, get it running, and check to see what's damaged. So far the only problem is the floppy drive won't read any of my disks so I'm replacing it with a...

Hi all, I've been a vintage apple guy for a very long time, but I never was interested in posting stuff about them. Its been a while since I've worked on any of my old Apples, but the Beige G3 mini tower (will post details about my buildup in the G3 section) I just picked up got me back in the...
