It doesn't have too -- I grew up on 7, then 8, then 9, then X like most people here, but I'd like a reasonably modern browser, Apple's Mail.app, and Adium, as well as the easy networking capabilities with my other OS X macs. It runs Panther very well. I'd have to upgrade the RAM before putting...

Yep I'll have to buy a third party one. Can someone point me in the right direction for those, what to search on eBay, etc. Would "PCMCIA airport card" work (I found my PCI wireless card that way for my G4 -- i only looked at ones advertised as being airport compatible). What I am most...

Score! Typing on it right now. It was actually a Lombard, but I got the following for $80: 400mhz G3 256mb RAM 6GB HD (might upgrade), 10.3.9 DVD Module, zip drive module, two imation "superdisk" modules. Power adapter WORKING battery (I am amazed -- it's the original battery as far as I...

Whoah! worked great

Yep -- I'll have to see if I have any 800k disks I can stick in my Duo to transfer it over (forgot about my Duo's floppy drive ::) )

Are all SE fans loud, then? It sounds like it's rubbing against something. Shouldn't be that hard to fix -- in that case I guess my "real" problem is getting it on there. Can OS 9.1 and 6.0.x jive over localtalk?

I have a Mac SE running system 6.0.something -- I'd love to use it with that classic mac digital clock program I saw on here a while ago. I'd have to find it (link would be nice) -- but my main problem is this -- the fan on this thing is loud as hell, which would render it completely useless...

Agreed! MacBook Pro's are like that too!

I have it running 9 and Leopard -- I'm using it as a headless server so I need it *nix'edified and the built in screen sharing in Leopard works great.

Thank you -- great info. I have 3 duo adapters -- I'll check the part numbers now. Looks like (from the Apple discussions link you sent me) the *quick* fix for the PRAM battery problem is to just disconnect and reconnect. If it doesn't boot tomorrow when I check it out I'll offer him...

I'm gonna bring a Duo power supply over when I look at it (probably tomorrow) which according to a few sources will boot it.

I don't need a G4 -- I have a MacBook Pro. I'd just like something secondary that I can carry around the house with me regularly and to class because of late my MBP has been tethered down by all its peripherals (cinema display, hard drives, etc. -- its basically a desktop machine).

Yep it's local -- I'm going to check it out. Don't plan on upgrading it to heavily, maybe RAM but that's cheap.

Thanks -- this has no power adapter -- good to know as I have several duo adapters lying around.

Also - will a Duo power adapter work on a pismo? The connectors look similar.

400mhz is all I know about it. Should I jump on it?

It was the IDE interface. What makes me 100% sure is that it connected in a different spot on the motherboard as the 270c's hard drive -- a spot that was absent in the 270c but present in the 2300 - which I know is the only Duo to have IDE.

What about a CF Microdrive?

Can you elaborate?

I'm taking the plunge one step at a time -- Just bought a CF-IDE adapter, etc. and will see how that goes. Next step would be the battery re-cell, then the RAM. I'm not sure if I want to paint it or not.
