I've been looking for a 12" iBook G4 on and off over the years as a means to relive my experiences with my first Mac a decade ago. It was a 1.2 GhZ 12", and I took it apart more times than I can count trying to understand its workings and improve its performance. Unfortunately I was young and...

Hey everyone! I've posted a few revivals before, mainly about my classic Macs. I recently obtained an iMac G3 DV with the original box and accessories for $100. It was listed as working, however it did nothing other than let out a quick speaker pop when pressing the power button. I've recapped...

Hi, I recently bought this Mac SE with the intent of it being one of the last SE's introduced, with what I understand is the ability to write 1.4mb high density disks. I have an earlier SE with an 800k drive that I've restored, but I'm tired of using 800k disks as I don't have a bridge Mac at...
