If you do a NetBSD netinstall (booting the kernel, NOT doing it through macos) you can have it done in about two hours. I never saw why you would want to do it through macos, it's so slow when it comes to disk i/o...

Try using VLC instead? :p

It will in OSX, but OS9 requires it for audio as Franklinstein said. I think it gives some sort of error about audio hardware on boot, but I can't remember for sure.

As long as it's the lower density stuff with chips on both sides it should work. Sometimes high density works but I've never had great luck with it in those machines.

Wait- you don't have the money to keep it... so.. you're giving it away?

Beige G3s and Yikes G4s (maybe B/W too?) in my experience are INCREDIBLY picky about what IDE CD drives they want to boot from. Bugs the hell out of me.

Also, carry spares! That's one thing great about our 69 camper bus, there is a place to spare duplicates of most commonly problematic parts, as well as lots of tools!

Yeah, having parts was defiantly a key point, Having to buy stuff for them would totally ruin it. Also interestingly enough about the surplus store, they had no laptops! The closest thing they had to a laptop was a grungy looking yo-yo PSU for $20.

So I've already touched on this on the G-Series Powermac forum, but I figured I'd extend it here. A while back techfury90 and I learned that ECU had a surplus store, but never got around to looking for/at it. See, normally in NC (and I presume other states) state property surplus from gvmnt...

I guess they can? Really I have no idea; this is a fairly nice dell LCD that I've had no problems with in the past. What I think I just need to do at the moment is get a proper driver for either my Radeon 7500 or Rage128pro (or both) and see how that works out. Alternatively I could use my CRT...

Seeing as it happens on both cards with two different VGA cables, getting a new card doesn't sound like a good solution. I have a feeling that either my LCD is confusing OSX, or the lcd is getting confused by OSX's Vga signals .

I haven't tried that yet, I will with my wallstreet in a sec. Also, for OSX, maybe it needs the ATi graphics drivers? I'm not sure...

So, today I got a dual 450 gig-e, with a rage128pro in it. I right away hooked it up to my LCD, and started it off an OSX installer, to see that the video was very washed out. Playing with tiger & panther screen calibration has done little, I can get it to the point where it's almost...

Good stuff. Unfortunately that thinkpad is an i series, meaning acer made it, but it's still a half decent laptop.

LED screen? Original GB? What? I thought the first to have a lighted screen was the original GBA..

Oh weird. Those must have been like, the super gimped versions. Eww.

a 350 would be a Yikes! I think the lowest Sawtooth was a 400. Still a pretty good deal, they can be reliable machines, and great for OS9.

Pics aren't working because this post is like, a year old and that's when I ran my server off an RS/6000... ::)

Depends on how long it takes to propagate to your DNS server. Usually is fixed within 24 hours.

That power supply looks horrifying. I'd replace that thing right away if you buy it.
