I've had this with my first iBook a few years ago, and basically the graphics chip has come unsoldered in places, so, after a lot of research I put a shim inside the case to put pressure on the chip and hold the connections in place...

So far so good, seems a little faster loading pages. I wouldn't bother doing it for my MacBook though. Cheers :) Hugh

According to http://www.themacintoshguy.com/mactips/archive/tip41.shtml a full install of OS 9 will take 300mb, so a 1gb card will take it all with plenty to spare. Just need to get the card formatted and recognised before digging out my 9.2 disc ... Cheers :) High

The pipelining is controlled typing about:config in the navigation bar, it brings up a warning, then the configuration page for Firefox / TenFourFox. I used http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=297099 as my first reference, then adjusted more settings from Google searches. I...

Will do, bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300745319081?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 as I don't think I will ever need more than 32GB in this machine. It's coming from China, so may take a while. I was toying with the idea of a CF card in an IDE adapter but...

OK I think, not super fast but then again I'm not impatient. I'm surprised (and I remember now) how good Tiger really is, and no extra crap bits like the Lions have. I've enabled pipelining in TenFourFox which has made internet pages load more quickly, but I think the graphics is slowing it...

Leopard could run pretty slow because of the maximum RAM, and wasn't brilliant on a G4 700 iMac a few Macs ago. Tell you what, when you get your Pismo back, I'll swap you an emac for it! Cheers :) Hugh

... on eBay for just under £40. It's the 400Mhz version, came with 512mb RAM, 12GB HDD, DVD drive, Airport and a one hour battery. Upgraded from Panther to Tiger 10.4.11, installed all my backed up old stuff + TenFourFox, then the spending started ... 1GB RAM, 2 new batteries, 60GB hard drive...

Right, the Blueberry is finished, with 10.4.11 on a 10gb hard drive and the USB wifi dongle. Taking apart and upgrading etc took far less time than before, just a couple of hours.... ...... Idly looking on eBay I found this and won it - an Indigo clamshell complete with KP. Looks like a...

Reckon so, that's what I went on to identify it. Never mind, it's gone now. I've already maxed out RAM and installed an Airport card in my own Indigo and it's not too bad with Tiger, but I bought the Blueberry to use up the spare parts from mine and to be quite honest sell it on, so I won't be...

The thing is, I don't like to ask questions because the answer is revealed to everybody else Cheers :) Hugh

Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120529744356&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Seems like they go cheap if the seller...

3 to 4 hours last time on the Indigo, swapped the hard drive out (hence the Tiger donar for the Blueberry) + changed the CD drive for a combo. I wish I'd thought of doing the FSB overclock at the same time, I may be tempted to go back inside it for that some time. Hopefully this Bluberry won't...

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally decided to allow the OS 9 disc to format the hard drive and installed it Firmware now updated, and Tiger installation restored perfectly with Carbon Copy Cheers :) Hugh

It has arrived !! As described, 300mhz, 288mb, 3gb with a dead battery and cracks around the apple under the screen + the plastic on the handle No airport card, 10.2 was installed but I found the seller's account and formatted it straight away Plans - put in a 10gb hard drive with 10.4.11...

Sorry, he didn't say Cheers :) Hugh

'Quadraman', G4FanControl on way By the way, a previous recipient reports it also works on a G3 iMac Cheers :) Hugh

When I installed Tiger I unticked that box because I thought 'I won't need Classic", hence my problem. I think that's why I'm going to have to reinstall everything before I can update the firmware. Or, as all seems to be working fine, I could just leave it with the old firmware. Cheers :) Hugh

'bhylak' , email with app on way Cheers :) Hugh
