You probably already know this, but the machine can run El Capitan if you wanted: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2006-2007-mac-pro-1-1-2-1-and-os-x-el-capitan.1890435/

I have a 350 MHz Power Mac G4 and can't get Rhapsody 1.2v3 to install. At first the hard disk wouldn't be recognized by the installer at all, so I changed it from CS to Master. Then it worked and I could select it, but now when I boot to the actual installer (Rhapsody) it says no disks could be...

Hi, I just got this PowerBook yesterday for $10. It's the 500 MHz version. I put 9.2.2 on it, added some more RAM, and added an Airport card and it's become a great little machine (not that it wasn't already...). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8EH5JSwSHI I wish I had a working battery for it...

Yeah, makes perfect sense. To be honest, I wouldn't trust myself to get the job done though, so idk.

It's working fine now, I think it's because of a malformatted floppy that was freaking it out whilst it was trying to boot. Now there's just a problem with the keyboard/trackball controller (I guess)

I think the left controller for the keyboard/trackboard must be bad because when I switched the keyboard over to the right side, it began to work perfectly. Is this a known problem? Any way to fix this? Thanks

I think it could have been the floppy I had in it. I removed it and now it boots (though somehow that didn't fix it before). Maybe reseating helped as well. Idk. It's booting now but some keys on the keyboard don't work(?): https://youtu.be/blcx0ReXyW0 Probably just needs to be cleaned I guess.

Okay, here's an update: If I take out just the hard drive, it's still wonky. If I take out the hard drive AND the floppy, it boots to the blinking question mark floppy screen every time. Are both possibly bad? When I was booting before, I got an unreadable disk message and it said the...

Is my only option a 34-pin to 50-pin adapter so I can put another SCSI drive in? $55 seems like kind of a lot for one. (or should I just make it myself?)

Hi, my Portable was recapped by uniserver. I have gotten it to start up successfully (yesterday) after a few attempts, but now it won't. Here is a video of it trying to start up: https://youtu.be/NlU-o9kfkls Notice how the hard disk isn't spinning up either as you can't hear it.

Lol. It's quite a nice machine :D

I just got an iMac G4 800 MHz and recorded my bad unboxing of it. I know the camera angles and shaking are pretty bad, but sadly I don't have a proper camera to record with... Anyways, I really love this thing so far, and I hope you guys do too.  :) https://youtu.be/FmjYFEhqYy4

Awesome!! I love these Clamshells, I have two blue ones myself. Great find. I think the charity idea is a good one.

I've gotten it a good battery from alaska360. I definitely do need to give it a recap, it had some goop that I removed from the board. Should I just get caps off of ebay or is there a better place?

My backlit Portable was having an issue where it wouldn't turn on sometimes and I had to mess with it a bunch in order to convince it to turn on. I took it apart and cleaned the board (some goop) and put it back together and I'm getting this Sad Mac. I was wondering if someone with more...

Yeah, I'll be sure to be careful. Definitely don't want to hurt this beauty!

I'm probably gonna have to do it myself since I don't really have the spare money to pay for the repair + shipping.  Thankfully he has a cap list on his site!

By the way, it's also hard to get the floppy out manually. It takes quite a few tries to get it out using the manual eject hole. The machine is also reluctant to turn on and I have to hold those 2 programmer buttons on the side usually.

I was thinking it could have been the caps too, yeah. Thanks.

Also, the floppy doesn't eject properly so I have to manually do it. Has it just grown weak with time?
