Great list. Thanks for this!

Yeah. I have installed an ssd in it with an ide controller and the cd drive works but won't boot to OS 9.2. I'll try what you are suggesting. Thanks.

Thanks Mike. I'm hoping this will boot from a G3 firewire too. We'll see. \o/? It is a burned copy of 9.2. I'll try the things you suggested.

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a LaCie d2 external fw400 dvd-rw so I can boot OS 9.2 from a CD and install it on an iMac G3 slot-loading 700. My questions are, will it boot from this drive externally? If so, how do I boot from the drive (is it opt or T)? and can this drive burn and read...

I came across this browser that is the fastest text and picture browser I have used. Links2. It blows any standard browser out of the water with the exception that it doesn't run javascript (it won't hang on clicking on a link though). Requires X11 which is on the install cd (doesn't require...

Isn't it like that thing they put on R2D2 in Star Wars to control him? A regulator? Ask the jawas.

Nice!

Thanks! They're 3 watts too I think. Boy I wish I remembered all this from physics in high school. : /. Nothing a little brushing up on couldn't solve I suppose.

I did this recently but mine are 8 ohm. Will that be a problem? Thanks.

Bummer. You could replace them if you can find them. They're a little tricky to open but finding the parts would be the challenge. Not sure if usedmac.com would have them. Ifixit has a pretty good repair guide.

Once I got the right stick it is a pretty good performance difference. Scrolling the web is much smoother, visuals etc. I think the OS can really use the extra memory. Let me know how it works for you!

While it does say this on everymac's website for these two computers, getting this memory will allow you to exceed the 2.5G limit for ram, 4 GB Samsung 2Rx4 PC2-6400U-666 I recently purchased a stick off of ebay for $15 and it works well. Cheers, Jeff

What's more is that the G4 and G3 power adapters have the same part number. Go figure.

There are two different yoyos though. You want the one with the bigger (wider) tip. On ebay these are usually more expensive (about $115) unfortunately. Also. Not to be confused with the iBooks g4 yoyos which have a narrower tip.

The Daystar is overclocked. I think it was from 500 to 550.
