it won't work. one thing is i have no scsi compatible stuff (and i am more willing to buy something that i can easily network with) and the other is that i tried to take it apart but only managed to remove the keyboard and saw frightening stuff underneath. compared to this my powerbook g4's guts...

ahh.. so i have no other choice. i tried to use the modem but the previous owner did not install the appropriate control panels for it (modem, tcp/ip etc.). alright, should i then go for the micro dock according to this article, for it has (or may have) ethernet? i'm guessing there are several...

hi all, this is a replica of my post at ppcmla.com, sorry for making such duplicates.

sorry to hear you say that, sometimes i'm thinking the same thing. i would've gone for the mbp but i had'nt enough money. my main reason was durability: the macbook got too many scratches in my backpack and i almost broke the hinge once. interesting thing is that the pbg4 fw800's manual shows...

hi again, sorry for leaving some posts unreplied, i had a harsh time during holidays. soo.. i finally traded my macbook for a powerbook g4 15" 1.5 ghz. it is the one without sms. the advantage is that it has a region-free dl dvd-rw and came with 1.5 gigs of ram, so i will not have to spend...

one more thing: can i put a g4 mdd dual 1.42 ghz processor into my quicksilver? thanks again, bamdad

thanks for the info. :) all that said, i still need to get a processor upgrade for my g4. beside the fact that i am a fanatic of old mac hardware, i need my 1 terabyte (!) of hd space i put into it and my native os 9 support for older games and apps. and consider: it would have 1.5 gbs of...

do you happen to know where to get some updated cpus in europe? the g5 will be sold soon, so i really need a powerful g4. btw it is insanely great to run os 9 again natively..

g4 mac mini? i thought the first ever mac minis had a g5 processor. :) btw, i have (or will have, at least) a g4 quicksilver but that is way slower than the emac.

if this is a reply to me, then you bet, i would love one, but they are extremely rare (in my country). i saw somebody modding one into a homebuilt g5-looking case after the monitor stopped working. and it is sweeeeeet. even the original looks great. so if i see one i will surely buy it...

madmax: tried everything you wrote, nothing helped, although now i am starting to get the idea that it needs a new pram battery since it has never been replaced (since 2003!).. thanks for helping anyway. ;) and to the others, i bought a series one macbook. pismos are hard to get around here...

hopefully.. :) i have an older 160gbyte in my 400mhz one, it only sees 128 gigs, but that is fine. i think you should take a closer look at hdd and motherboard connectors, sticking them in tighter saved me lots of headaches. :)

hi, i am far from being an expert, but my imac 400mhz booted os 9 just fine with no hd in it, os x _may_ be kernel panicing because of no swap space, although once when i was trying to install os x and it did not recognize the drive it booted nicely, only there were no options at the select...

thanks guys. i took the whole machine apart, it has 6 mbytes of vram and it has a rage pro. what still surprises me is that it boots 8.1 nicely (the only problem being that in 8.1 i cannot adjust the screen size, position etc. in monitors and sound, but this is normal, i think, since the 8.1...

stupid question, i presume, but how can i tell if mine is rev. a or b?

um.. sorry. ::)

another thing, i have these imac g3's here, and the older one (233mhz) can boot into os 8.1 through 10.4. nice. it is really a pity that hellcats over the pacific will not run (blank screen on every powermac so far). what i am trying to say is: not every specification is accurate, even from...

sorry for not relplying, my net connection was down and i had to assemble two imac g3's (the 233mhz version is definetly _not_ meant for upgrading, i had to take the whole motherboard out). so, yes, with no success. this was one of the first thing i did. done. thank you, trying these in a...

can it be an agp slot problem, even if i am not having any other video problems at all? i can even move the card gently while the machine is on, without any issues.. only this startup thingy. but i noticed that it takes only 2 tries to turn it on correctly after updating the firmware. pismo is...

bluekatt: 'dual usb' (according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBook) should be a g3, so it must boot os 9. :)
