Well. Sucess, sort of. It's introducing a lot of weird characters. which makes me think it's not on the right tty terminal type (possibly VT100 instead of VT102) So I need to figure out how to get it set a bit different

Unfortunately, I haven't had as much time today as I thought. I ended up having an MRI scheduled that I had to go, that took about 45 minutes to do. After that my mom took me out for dinner at red lobster for my b-day. I will get to it later tonight, but I got debian installed (Ubuntu has a...

So I turn 27 on January 9th (tomorrow for reference from the posting of this topic). and I decided to do something different. Since most people i know are going to be at work (and I being a student and home business person, I have some downtime) I decided to lay out what think Will be a fun...

So I was having issues with my Pismo 500Mhz G3. I noticed first that I was having issues with my Cardbus expansion. The airport card worked, but I couldn't get a device to power up, or even have OS X recognize that the Cardbus slot actually existed. So I started playing around and the next...

Christie's auction house I believe

It sounds like the SSD is bad. I encountered this with an OCZ Vertex Plus+. Under windows, it worked OK, then it started getting errors. not booting, then I started getting bad blocks, and then SMART failed. Pretty sure you got a bad drive. Sounds exactly like what I went through. If you have...

Beachycove, even the services manual says not to remove the CPU from you heatsink as it says doing it will damage the processor. It seems apple intended these things never to have the grease replaced. First thing I will do is test the temps. It scares me to replace the grease because people...

Is there a tool out there that I can monitor the temp of the G5 CPUs? preferably free. I need to run some tests and see what temps I am hitting. What is the respective range the PPC 970's should run at? Also, in respect to the OS, it's run both Tiger and Leopard. Right now, it's running...

btw if that machine goes south, pop a full ATX board with 6/8 cores, 12GB DDR3 RAM, a few CrossFire/SLI video cards and modify the back and go whoop up on some friends with games ;) Speaking of which, the first of my parts for my new build comes tomorrow. 3 whole components. Quad Core AMD...

is the board in that a DP-capable board where they only put a single 1.6Ghz in it, or can you swap in DP 1.8Ghz/2.0Ghz and run the adjustment program? It would seem silly and downright unprofitable to make a seperate run for a single CPU board.

My friend got my old G5 tower some time ago with the following specs: Dual Processor 1.8Ghz G5 6GB DDR-3200 RAM 1TB HDD, GeForce 5xxx Series (Can't remember) with ADC/DVI Wifi/BT and a USB 2.0 Belkin card with NEC Chipset. Since a year ago, he has been complaining that he has had kernel...

You sure you aren't drawing too much power? That can cause an under-current on the CPU causing the CPU to keel over when it tries to start up causing a brown-out in the CPU

oh, and battery powered (I have two of these) external 68-pin portable CD-ROM modules (1 is 8x the other is 20x) from Panasonic. I can also use it as a stand-alone CD-ROM. I have gotten my PowerBook 540c to boot from it. Uses 4 AA batteries, or a rechargable Li-Ion battery pack. I also have a...

Is a completely working MDD with plenty of life on it left count? I heard they drop like flies from the PSU's overheating. I also have a 50-pin Tray/Slot (Depending on how you use it) DVD-RAM drive. Use a cartridge that slips between two arms for the RAM drive, just put the disc in (without...

Yup. pretty much same thing. Look for major memory chip makers. they usually set the specs for RAM and anytime you see something like Memorex/Kingston/Crucial/Hynix you will 99% of the time be compatible with almost everything.

You need Double-sided Low-Density (more than 4 chips per side) for a total of 256MB. So if you get a compatible 256MB SoDIMM, it needs to be PC-100 SoDIMM with 8 chips per side. Double-Sided 4 chips per side is High-Density. I have experienced this. I have 4 of these DIMMs but they are all...

Actually there are. Scroll down on the picture area. It shows the motherboard with RAM SIMMs populated.

Download XPostFacto. It will help you get it installed. Under OS 9, it applies firmware patches that make it OS X friendly, as well as modify files (especially driver files) that make OS X versions higher than 10.2 run on it. OS 10.3 stripped out a lot of support files for the beige G3-based...

I have a 17" MacBook Pro and I love it. As noted, screen resolution is a huge issue. Small screens even with higher resolutions make things hard to see, and too big of laptops (over 17") is too much to carry. The bonus apple has is while they pack a lot of inches into the screen, it keeps it...

try it on a powermac G3 and get back to us ;) that would be rather funny to see them fly down the screen as if they were falling in real-life at terminal speed. I could imagine clicking "start" then "You lose!" shows up
