i got a 500 mhz ibook here which i orginally intented to buy to swap the logic board out and put it in my 800 mhz
but i am having second thoughts now the 800 mhz is working just fine with a shim
and i am looking in to the posibilites of getting this 500 mhz working again
it does not have an hd its combo drive is wonky
but it wil boot of cd's off my external dvd writer
thats where it stops though
os 9.1 gets to the desktop which si empty and nothing else happens
jaguar crashes on the apple logo screen
panther kernel panics
and i didnt even try tiger
am i correct in assuming the problem lies in the lac of an hd or is it a bigger problem ?
if it is should i even bother to wrench a hd in it or swap the logic board out ?
