Beautiful. I have a working 270c. these are nice machines, only thing i don't like is the keyboard.

Yep thats one thing I miss in OS X :)

Hi RickyZhang   I never could have Wifi working on System 7.6.1… Have Silver card and tried any kind of drivers I could find. Could only make it work on 8.6, but with out encryption. I suppose there is a problem with my router here, and would have to try converting that Silver card into Gold.  ...

Many I don't know !... Row 2 last col, and row 5 first col are SpeedDoubler Ctrl panel and extension , said to be good for ... speeding up your system. Row 5 col 9, I think it's "Wish" or "Wish I were", to change the Gestalt ID of the Mac. First under the progress bar, it's Kaleidoscope, You...

Yes there is, like old iTunes though. But you'll have to check through the 500s cause can't remember the name :)

I like listening radio with SoundJam, and noticed a « SkinConverter » app included with it. Sometime ago I’ve downloaded 500 (!) Audacious skins for using on my Linux-Macs. Tried converting some of these, and it works :)  Some examples :     Audacious/WanAmp .wsz skin files are just zips...

Hi Rickyzhang !  maybe building sheep_net is too much for that poor iBookG4 :p You are lucky to have one with a functioning GPU. On mine, I have to "cook" the GPU if I want to have it working for 2/3 days... Cheers

I think the pictures were taken during an official visit of Mubarak in France, during last Chirac presidency...  Pictures look like a press conf by the two pres in the Elysée courtyard, with picts of official cars too. Hires. Checked again , there is a Nikon import extension on the mac. So it...

Yeah sure, I'll have stuff to give you :D  No no young man, though the machine is dirty indeed, nothing dirty inside ;) The machine must have been in use by photographs of Sygma press agency. The system is not customized, not personalized, no name. Though very messy, you know like "this...

-"And what do you do during holidays ?" -"Well , I buy old laptops..." So I found a Kanga, to replace the mine having sound chip problem.  For 20 € , + 8 € for transport. Sold as "have no power block , can't test the unit". The thing is very dirty. Here picts before disassembly/cleaning ...

I have a PATA 160 Gb. It's a Samsung HM160HC, 5400rpm.

Nice ! Thanks for the disks and stuff 8-)

And... 3 more : For 22 €. Two Pismos 400, and a PDQ 266... Mmmh , no remorse yet :) Sold as non working, without ram and HDs. Turned out the Pismos boots after unplugging the PRAM battery (no chime though) , and the PDQ boots too ( with a tired screen though...). All have RAM, One even has...

Yeah, I have the same problem with a tangerine. It's the power port that is desoldered from the DC board. Shouldn't be too difficult to resolver it. But Clamshell can be tricky to disassemble . here a good guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iBook+G3+Clamshell+DC-In+Board+Replacement/114 On...

Thanks all for your input. Yeah… I’m a bit scared to put a board in the oven. And not sure it would work on these kind of old thing with still plastic pieces like the HD connector and other. All that would melt. Don’t think it’s the PRAM battery problem, the area is clean, and it’s one of the...

:D   Only on medical prescription. And careful when driving.

Ah ok then :) Thanks Louis. I got the two Powerbooks 17 for 20 € each. Didn't ask any refunds for these as they were sold as non-working, I knew that, bought for spare parts. The refund was for that earlier PowerBook 3400c/240, first paid 50 € for it (not cheap, but was looking for one 240...

Merci Sirs :) @ tanaquil - "How much did they set you back?" I'm sorry I don't understand :) ? Set back what ?

Sometime you can have nice surprises in life… Bought two  non-workings PowerBooks 17 A1139 sometime ago, one was a total wreck like coming out of a trashcan, battered case, broken screen, missing keys… but complete interior, very dirty though… and another one in mint exterior condition, but...
