    Upgrading my G4 MDD with a SONNET Encore/Crescendo MDX G4 Duet 1.8GHz Dual CPU Upgrade

    I do have G4 MDD - originally its FW400 model, with FW800 1.4ghz CPU & Copper Heatsink on it, with Sonnet SATA card with SSD attached to it - its a quite quick mac - which is why I hadn't done Sonnet upgrade. Yes it does boot into OS9 with Sonnet from what I know. Cheers AP

    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    I gave up with PCIMCA cards - I have a box full of them - either they are cardbus types - PowerBook 1400 uses 16 bit cards so just heads up. As my PowerBook 1400 has ethernet card in it which works really well. You still can buy ethernet card for PowerBook 1400 on ebay every now again but its...

    Wallstreet laptop

    Because the original Wallstreet only has 233mhz without L2 cache, 250mhz and 292mhz. Which PDQ came in as 233mhz with L2 cache, 266 & 300mhz. Also Gestalt ID is another thing. Cheers AP

    System 7 (and OS 8) natively boots on the Mac mini G4!

    HFS+ is Mac OS 8.1 upwards. Mac OS 8.0 is the last OS that is HFS. (whereabouts HFS+ should have been in Mac OS 8.0 to begin with!

    PBG3 Wallstreet- switching OS?

    Originally I had 25gb partition which was pulled from PDQ which it was able to dual or quad boot, it didn't work too well in Wallstreet which got me stumped hence asking that question above. So what I did - I rebuilt fresh m.2 inside it and went from there. Cheers AP
