The battery was rebuilt earlier this year and it is a tiny bit bigger so that might be related but the problem does eventually go away on it's own. I'd hate to take it apart because the clamshells are a nightmare to take apart.

I do programming on mine because its easier to not be distracted, of course there is the novelty factor as well.

My key lime iBook G3's trackpad randomly gets weird around the trackpad, acting like there's two fingers on it. So I'll try to scroll down and it'll act like it's being scrolled up. It usually goes away on it's own, after a restart, or if I wiggle my fingers on it enough. It is kinda annoying...

It works now, I put the pullup resistor on the wrong pin... Also I used the RAW pin instead of VCC so it looks like a combination of both got it working. The switches definitely need work though, some keys are sticking or not clicking.

That is a possibility, however none of the keys are working. The controller might possibly be okay because if I leave the data line disconnected the hid_listen app shows errors, with it connected it shows the keyboard starts fine. The only other thing I can think of is that the VCC pin of the...

Does anyone have a manual for this? The LED on the power key stays lit red and while the debug output shows the keyboard is started, it doesn't work. There is a 4 switch block under a panel on the back of the keyboard, maybe it switches between the old and ADB keyboard protocols? I know...

No luck so far, bleh. This is going to be a pain in the ass lol.

Oh cool, maybe I'll put more effort into getting it working then. I've tried the adb_usb converter from the tmk_keyboard project and it seems to power on but its not registering any key presses, I'll have to get around to debugging it then :)

It's a heavy click, but I'm not sure if it's mechanical or not without opening it up.

http://imgur.com/a/o9gpg Looks to be a neat keyboard with apparently both an ADB interface and one for the earlier Macs that used that phone jack kind of connector. For $5 it's in pretty good shape but I don't have any ADB macs to test it with at the moment. Still pretty neat though :) No...

OH You mean running X apps on the same machine, sorry I misread and thought you meant tunneling X through SSH. I haven't tried what you're talking about though :(

When I was setting up and testing I used XQuartz on my 10.11 laptop and it was a bit more sluggish than VNC but im not sure if that's just X being X or if it's the Pi. Still totally usable though imho.

VNC Over the USB 1.1 link works just fine btw, I used it to check the pihole status page and visit a few random sites. Not terribly slow either.

This. The pi zero W has built in wifi and is very comfortable running off a usb port while providing routed internet through the gadget ethernet interface. I have never said about using a Pi to replace or even compare to a PowerPC mac, just saying they can be useful in providing functionality...

It can provide a wifi connection by usb, and you can even (slowly) run X apps through an SSH tunnel. VNC Would probably be better, but I haven't tried it on the iBook yet.

Best of both worlds: Augment your PPC by hooking a Pi up to it.

Blink a single pixel off and on at a timed interval and use the CRT's slow phosphor to give the illusion of grays :)

I was able to do a kind of youtube with the help of a friend, I had written a script to grab youtube urls using youtube-dl and ffmpeg to convert them to a vintage mac friendly format. She took it and made it so my webserver could take the video url as a parameter from the url and run the script...

So far 10.4 has been very good to me after all the graphical bells and whistles have been disabled. I've been using it (with the help of my server) for programming, and all of my latest commits to my github were done with this setup. Not bad for when you wanna get stuff done and not be...
