This was a big resource for us I'm sad to see it go...

Yeah its sad that the page got brought down by apple. 

I don't wanna delete the forum 68kmla.org!

I will probably just open it up and bake it if I can open the damned thing...

I have another possibility: I did install tiger on it and it barely displays any info on the graphics hardware, display settings are stuck at 1024 by 768 and at 256 colors, although in gray scale. Missing video driver? Where could I get one? I don't know where I could get an iBook G4 .kext...

But in this installation the mouse pointer is the only thing thats ok

So I guess I should try different installation media I guess. The Leopard installation from USB failed and got stuck. Will find another Tiger DVD.

Booting off a usb flash drive is very handy though.

That might be true. I used a Mac OS X 10.4 install CD I could try others...

Why will it tell me to plug in a mouse though? The colors will work fine in startup manager...

bad on-board RAM?

also the machine will never play the start up chime. once I heard it for a breif moment than it stopped.

whats also strange is in the installer it won't recognize the touchpad it yells at me to plug in a mouse

Its all in grayscale for some reason

I put in my OS 10.4 install CD and.. this. 

You got some nice Video Cards  :)

I have had some experience with booting off of a USB stick and an iMac G3. I tried installing Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 with some luck. It got to a happy mac and then got stuck there and a broken folder icon appeared. I formatted the stick with an eMac and set it up to be bootable with a PowerPC...
