2048x1152 in Mac OS 7.6 anyone? :) got a Radeon 9200 inside a 4400/160 (AAPL,e826). when it comes to PCI macs there ability to drive monitors falls only on the Graphics card (and OS if your using a flashed card with a reduced rom that has no NDRV) it has nothing to do with the rest of the system.

btw just a quick comment. a friend had a iBook clamshell arrive from the same source you got yours max and i noticed the firmware was not fully updated. (his came running firmware 2.4 something, the latest is 4.1.7) so i recommend installing that firmware update and see if it enables the L2...

sounds like a plan! if its still in bits/you made the hard drive easily accessible id recommend pulling the drive and installing Leopard on it using another Mac and putting the drive back. (the First gen clamshells basically have No fast user IO apart from maybe the 10/100 ethernet) the...

Pretty much :) I installed the Rage 128 Kexts from Tiger they help some but not all of its bundles are compatible with leo so i dont get any OpenGL acceleration for example. apart from doing Fancy GUI animations it runs well (especially as i have it booting from a Good 16GB CF card where the...

any more word on the iBook G3 clamshell? any OS X shots? :) im quite interested in how that turns out :) (if cache does not show up natively run GeekBench get a score then install sonnets cache enabler then re run GeekBench if the score is higher then the last by an appreciable amount then...

@CC_333 thats very kind of you to offer them but i only have 3 G4s chips left ATM and id like to try those first on other machines. i mean if you wanna cover postage feel free to send them but I dont know when id get round to doing a CPU swap on em so maybe keep them for now i know user...

just wanna report some great news! i decided to try this on my PowerBook G3 Pismo CPU card. and it worked! i removed the old CPU soldered on the new one put it in the Machine and it booted right up. the only thing wrong is the L2 cache does not work (on uninorth machines it should show up with a...

another report just set the G3 BWs FSB to 66Mhz still the same thing. shame theres no visible/known test points on the ZIF to measure voltage. (the G3 Beige is in bits and needs a PSU fitted as the old one blew up so I dont want to drag that down plus being a DT id have to clear off a bunch of...

Hmm just tried jumping the supposed Vreg pads on the 266Mhz 7410 ZIF (I used small copper strands to do so and made sure there was continuity) to match the ones on the 300Mhz. I still only get a chime and no video but i THINK the heatsink stays cooler for longer and i noticed that i can now do...

yeah just a couple what i assume by pass caps. I have a mild case of CP so my hands can get a bit shaky when you dont want em to. and i knocked a couple caps lose lifting the old chip. i made sure all where connected still (well apart from one that looks decidedly dodgy ill try reworking that...

2.6v! yikes! (pun intended :p ) would explain why its not posting luckily i have Pictures of a Yikes ZIF from user Bunnspecial and will be comparing them to my G3 ZIF (and my 300Mhz ZIF that i butchered for that matter). my quick over view of when he sent the pics shows a set of resistors...

what specific 750 data sheet are you looking at just wondering as it can vary from chip model to chip model id not be surprised if the early 750s ran at a higher voltage then the later 750s found in Pismos and the like. but yeah looking into how to lower the voltage is always good (because even...

Yeah thats what im thinking. to test lower speeds I need my G3 beige out as i have not come across a jumper chart that goes bellow 3x multiplier (but giving it some thought i know there is a way to jumper the bus speed down from 100Mhz to 66Mhz should look into that then) otherwise yeah I hope...

Update time! today I attempted it finally! to cut it long story short I the 7410 Upgraded 750 266Mhz G3 ZIF chimes in the G3 BW but i get no video. I have a couple theories on this big one being I Goofed up somewhere :p but the fact i get a chime is good the other theories is the 266Mhz ZIFs...

well today I gave the first stage a go, removing the old G3 from the board I completely messed up the first ZIF (board pop corned well i think it did. it made a couple muffled cracking noises) but i managed to remove the CPU off the second ZIF card without it pop corning or lifting any pads :)...

very cool! yeah iv seen the wobble thing done a few times I also been doing lots of practicing on dead boards to get a feel for things :) I also did an EEPROM swap on a GPU I had you can read about it...

So my 7410 chips arrived woo :) now that I have everything i hope to try and do the G4 CPU upgrade like you have done (as i said in a past post ill be trying first with a 300Mhz G3 ZIF) is there any last things I should know before i try? (im not using a bottom heater i plan to preheat the...

I have a 858D hot air gun/rework station. I dont have a bottom heater like you tho...  (I also have a 936D digital Hakko clone soldering iron) I have a few Scarp boards (inc a dead MBP3,1 Logicboard) that ill practice removing parts off of as well :) thanks for the help btw I do appreciate it...

alright cool. :) hope you dont mind the questions but what temp and airflow settings did you use to Remove the 750 G3 from the board? I have not done this sort of thing before so trying to get as much info as I can on it :)

ah very cool :) thanks for the reply this is the Flux I ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-Chemicals-Liquid-Rosin-Flux-835-P-Pensize-/322315289765?hash=item4b0b7d04a5:g:MkAAAOSwrklVOrHt(I knew you needed flux but i wanted some input on someone who has done it before :) ) but yeah thanks...
