The red Apple logo is freakin' awesome. 8-o Nice work on the 'book.

Things are settling down a bit to be sure. What has been a major stressor though is the medical bills for the cancer treatment. Insureance is wonderful and without it i'd surely be on the streets, but my 401k, savings, and a few cd's have been wiped out paying off what insurance wont cover...

Aaaarrrggghhh! :( :( :( :( So I completely tore down the system and re-assembled it, even managing to put in a few screws I had missed on the first go around. The system booted up just fine before placing the bottom shield and plastic shield on. So I figured I was good to go. Nope...

Well, crap. After careful disassembly and reassembly, the iBook will not power on. I don't know what I did wrong. :( I've repaired dozens of these over the years for friends and customers. Looks like I will have to tear it down again and make sure everything is in it's proper place. I...

Halfway through the clone process, my Sawtooth kernel panics. :O Well tonight I am going to tear down the iBook. I will be replacing it's CD-ROM with a DVD/CD-RW drive pulled from my dead 600MHz iBook. I will also be replacing the keyboard which is missing keys with the one from the 600MHz...

What a sweet box! Oh and can you upload the starship pic to the interwebs? I love it!

I'm going to be using CCC to get the job done as the Sawtooth powers off when put in to Target Firewire Mode. I am curious as to how you shoehorned Tiger onto a CD laptop using a DVD, unless you had access to en external DVD drive. I do, it installed, but sits there at a blue screen. I left it...

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer :( , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making probate court hell and so on. However things have died down a bit and I now have more time for things I enjoy, such as...

Thanks, worked like a charm. Now up and running on OS 9. If only I can shoehorn X on here. I've tried 5 discs, 3 of them retail, 1 a copy of the retail and the 5th I have no clue where it came from. All of them are Tiger. I shall continue. Normally I would place the sucker into target disc...

LCGUY beat me to it. It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X. So yes, it does belong in this list.

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some unknown reason. However that NIB Duo 280c, now that get's my engine going. I have a soft spot in my heart for the...

This is very good to know! I own one of those models. I am actually installing Tiger on it as I type. Right now it has 640MB of RAM and later on I plan to install the Combo drive from my dead 600MHz Ibook with a failed GPU. I *might* swap out the 40GB HD if I have a larger one, otherwise I'll...

Weird. Googling for terms such as: OS 9 Hidden SSID OS 9 Airport Hidden OS 9 Connect to hidden SSID and such return 0 results. I highly doubt Apple is scrubbing all OS 9 info from the InterWebs, but you'd think I would be able to find something on the topic at least.

I know I should know this but: My SSID is hidden. Can I connect to in OS 9 using the built in Airport card? I know I can in OS X. This is the 500MHz IceBook. Model: M6497

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, just a few sites here and there. I mainly use it for writing and retro gaming, which OS 9 does very well for me. Last...

Great score on the CC. I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust. Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of macs to acquire.

Nice score on the 2300c. I've been looking for one of those for a long time, however finances are always in the way.

Two 660AV's? Damn you to hell. }:)

It's no Genesis tower but it should do in a pinch. :p Kidding, it's a great machine. May it serve you well.

God I miss my Pismo. I traded it to Cory in a fit stupidity. Probably brought on by a large amount of alcohol and weed, but that is a discussion for..well...not here anyway. 8-) Seriously though, out of all the Macs I have owned throughout my life I loved the Pismo the most.
