Which version would you folks recommend for a 733MHz G4 running 9.2.2?

Back in the late nineties, I was randomly speaking to a person at a presentation I was attending and mentioned that I liked to refurbish older computers and give them to people who couldn't afford them. He asked for my number and a week or so later called and asked if I wanted a few Macs. A...

I have a legal copy of PageMaker for early Macs. The disks are wonky now. I emailed Adobe (the current owner of the product) and was told there was no way at all to get either disks or support of any kind. Would I be considered a pirate if I could find a site to download copies of what I legally...

Another question. I would like to locate a manual for the G4. On all of the sites I have Googled, the manuals linked are for the early version of the G4. I am unable to locate the later versions

2nd suggestion for Velcro. I guess it's the winner!

lol, I am dim!!!

I have the drive sitting on a piece of cardboard at the moment awaiting an OS. Will duct tape it in if I can't find a bracket!

Yes, it was brand spanking new back then. I later replaced the cache card with a DayStar '040 expansion card and also added an Apple video card. That Mac cost me a bundle back in the day. I still have it in the closet, but alas it will no longer boot. It started booting silent, then went to no...

I put a message on my local user group site and received a Digital Audio G4 on Saturday past. I need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, system software and a hard drive bracket to get it good to go, but will get there soon. My old PC monitor, keyboard and mouse seem to work, so a hard drive bracket and...

As stated in the Conquests forum, I recently came into possession of a 733MHz Digital Audio G4. It had no hard drive, no monitor, no keyboard and no mouse. My PC monitor looks to work fine on it, the PC mouse as well. I have some old IDE drives (30 -40GB) so I should be fine there. What I don't...

Recently, my last Mac died (PowerBook 180). That left me without a working Mac for the first time since I purchased a IIci back in the 80's. Can I hear you say withdrawal? :lol: Well, I asked on our local Mac user group site if anyone was disposing of anything, and a great guy offered me a...

If you decide to part them out, is there a hard drive carrier in the blue tower G3? On Saturday past, I was given a 733MHz Digital Audio G4. I got the box only, no monitor, keyboard or mouse. When I looked inside, the hard drive had been removed, but the carrier had not been put back in.....

Thanks for all the suggestions and information. Will to a tear down this weekend and see what is going on inside. I'd really like to resuscitate this baby as everything about it screams brand new.

See my posts in the 68k PowerBook thread for info on my PB180. It may be fixable, but I have no resources at the moment. @ Concorde1993 It isn't a priority, but I miss having a working Mac.

I'll have a look at those, but if that's the cause then I'm SOL as I have no soldering experience beyond attaching wires to sockets.... BTW, nice collection there!

Hello, I am now down to one Mac and it is non-functional. 8-o I live in Ottawa, Canada and would appreciate any suggestions on strategies to locate older Macs before they get trashed. I am currently on a very limited income, so would need to get something free or real cheap. At last check...

well, have tried everything except reseating the CPU daughtercard. Need some torx drivers then will try that.

Thanks, I'll try the suggestions when I get home tonight. I hope it works, as it is in pristine condition save for the rear door which was missing when I acquired it. EDIT: OK, a friend just gave me his old Fluke 111 digital multimeter! What scale do I use to check out the power brick...

Unfortunately, I don't have a multimeter nor do I know how to use one.

Hello, I have a PB180 that fails to do anything when the power button is pushed. As recently as 2 months ago, it powered up and booted just fine. Is there a "checklist" to go through to troubleshoot this?
