nice score dude. if you are looking to dump the DA, look no further. *looks at 450mhz B&W G3 and cries* sad I don't even own a G4 or faster. -digital ;)

WOOHOO!! taken straight from http://www.preterhuman.net I wonder how long it will be... -digital ;)

If I had a iPod Touch, I would steal it. Seriously, making people pay for a software upgrade is stupid. I understand paying for regular software, like iPhone/touch apps, but NOT critical software updates. And yes, 2.0 is a critical update. Lots of new security features. -digital ;)

I will be getting one of these as soon as I get back from summer camp next week. I walked in and played with a black 8gb one. I tested out the app store, messed with the GPS, and started a secure wipe :D I looked at the white one, it's really nice. web photos can't do it justice. I am now...

my 500mhz pismo cost me only $75 shipped a few months back, but that was a really lucky shot. The auction was un-descriptive, and the photos were blurry, but I could tell what it was, as well as the specs. It was also pretty much stock, 12gb HD, 128mb RAM, airport, DVD, and battery. My first...

Hey guys. I my recent conquest, I found a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 200 PCI. I thought this would be the perfect upgrade to my ATI Rage 128, and hoped I could finally get quartz extreme running. However, I know you have to flash it first, so I searched around and found this that I thought had...

alright, I had a chance to whip out the other presario. It's a year older but much nicer. It has a AMD K6-2 at 533mhz, which is a bit slower, but it's sitting on a 100mhz (actually 95mhz) bus, versus the other machine using a 66mhz bus. It also has a few surprises: a 17gb WD hard drive, a LG...

alright, I had a chance to look at the presario 5000. It has the original label on the side with model number (5BW120), and specs. My heart sank when I read them: 600mhz Celeron 64mb of RAM up to 11mb used as video memory 15gb HD CD-ROM 56k modem I put in 2 128mb sticks for 256mb, it only...

You know that guy I got the Compaq LTE 5300 a while back? He said he had more stuff for me a few weeks back, and today he delivered. Highlights include: A Belkin 7 port stackable hub, the modular one. It has the box, and AC adapter as far as I can tell. It says it works with the mac. Not sure...

I don't even know if this would be, but hear me out: The newton handwriting recognition lives on in Mac OS X as inkwell. It only shows up when you plug in a graphics tablet. There are ways to hook a newton up to Mac OS X to sync it. What if when you plug in a newton, you run an app on it that...

I have a 233mhz tower. It has no RAM in it currently, the stock 4gb HD, pretty much everything is stock and barebones. Has the audio only IO card but it also has a modem, which makes me think it was at one time a personal home machine. I also stole the VRM out of it to see if that was a problem...

well, I did a bit of digging, and I found someone with a similar issue here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4994036 looks like it might just be a power issue after all. Too bad I don't have any spare computer power supplies to test this theory, nor the knowledge to operate...

According to Mactracker, the sawtooth did come with 8.6 originally, but later came with Mac OS 9.0. It also says it needs Mac OS ROM 2.5.1. I would love a sawtooth running 8.6 It would be hella fast. Next to 9.2.2, if the hardware can run it, I run 8.6 on it; unless it can run 7.6.1. I have a...

OK, this is getting really frustrating. I pulled out a SCSI CD drive (actually a burner), and I managed to boot off that (even with no terminator). I used my 9.2.2 CD. With all the drives plugged in, I got the CD-ROM to show up as ATAPI on BUS 0 ID 0 LUN 0. My hard drive is not showing up. I...

Hmm, well now this is odd. I tried the direct method once more with the 24x, and it opened just fine, but did not close. I then plugged the molex into the other cable to go to all the drives, and I opened the 32x with a paperclip, and I pressed the eject button, and magically, it closed!! I...

OK, so I double checked the jumper settings. Then I unplugged the IDE cable on the CD-ROM, still nothing. So, I had a hunch, and unplugged the master molex cable, and plugged it directly into the 24x CD drive. I got nothing. So, I think the connector might be bad, but that does not explain why...

Thanks, guys you have given me a lot to think about and check out later on today. Both CD drives are IDE, and nothing is stuck in either one. I managed to use a paperclip to check both. I will also try different cables, see if that is the issue, as well as check jumper settings, but I know for...

Actually, there is nothing on the hard drive. It is totally blank, a clean slate. I did it that way so I could install a fresh copy of 9 with all the drivers on the machine. Should I still try and disconnect the CD drive? There would be nothing to boot, so it would sit there and flash. Maybe...

nope, that did not do anything. I hunted and pecked for the original module, popped that in, removed the other modules, and booted. Still nothing. It also can not be power, because the single lead that comes from the supply still works, as the zip and hard drives power up properly. -digital ;)

aha, I did not check the RAM. I think I put PC100 in it. I thought it automatically would work at PC66. I will pull out everything but the stock stick and try again. If it were bad RAM, though, wouldnt the whole system just refuse to boot? I am not interested in speeding it up at all. I am just...
