    macintosh classic questions..

    I assume that the ram upgrade, if any were present, is simply pulled upward to get out right? and if any hdd was already there did that have to be removed first or not so much? and does the logic board really just simply slide out of the rear 'tool less ly', a little alike to how it does so on...

    quick question re macintosh classic and a boot disk

    regarding ibook g4 hdd thermals

    I know theres only so much one can do about thermals but mm anyway.. just wondering if a newer hdd would had been any improvement (as I know that sometimes when I compare scsi specs it seem like eg this extra-old drive needs 10.7w while the less-old drive of same capacity only needs 9.2w etc)...

    silly ibook g4 charger/battery question..

    just curious about this and excuse my somewhat limited wordings but - I presume that there is basically two charger controls aka the primary one onboard and the other one controlled by the os itself? noticed that the orange ring light at power cord end would switch to green for a moment while...

    re ibook g4's combo drive..

    its a matshita cw-8124 as per the system profiler.. (and interesting enough while writing this I found out that the mini g4 used the same drive at at least one point?) just curious if it could had been simply switched with another slot-loaded slim drive or is there any particular...

    ibook g4 keyboard layout..what is it..

    sorry about a somewhat short thread topic but anyhow.. just wondering which language it possibly is for that particular keyboard which has a short left shift key as to fit a new umlaut-u key to the left of the z key and similarly it has a few special character keys around the iso return key...

    A very brief introduction to AppleTalk for people who know IP

    @cheesestraws interesting writeup thats for sure and not to be too offtopic but regarding 'it changes and tries again' that sounds very alike to what I have heard of adb devices from somewhere several years ago? or to put it this way now: plug in two identical keyboards and at bootup the...

    Which "useless" extensions are not worth the RAM and time to load nowadays?

    @LaPorta and wasn't there like a simple guest app for if you only wanted to use a zip drive for one day? (turn on with zip drive in morning or whatever then shut down before bedtime as to finally take the zip drive off. no need to permamently load the system extension folder with the iomegaware...

    dual/triple interface pci cards for macintosh..a draft list

    just kinda had this random thought while trying to look up something I recall about a supermac card (which turned out to be the e100) and mm I dunno what others think of crowding this kind of one-stop reference list for to help any owners with non-tower systems that has <=3 pci slots to squash...

    Which "useless" extensions are not worth the RAM and time to load nowadays?

    what happened to two big eyes constantly stalking your cursor's location? ;-) (tbh I don't know which one the family macintosh had so many years ago for apparently macintoshgarden says theres at least four different ones compatible with for with system 7.5.x)

    Zip Drive Questions and Request for Clarification

    just adding what I know of myself.. 100 and 250 came in various internal&external flavours while 750 seem to be only either atapi or usb alone interestingly enough there were a small number of (infrequently one would show up on ebay I noticed) all-red firewire zip drives from vst themselves too...

    How Does One Explain The Difference In The Size & RAM Usage Of Modern Operating Systems?

    @Cory5412 mm yeah sorry I didn't meant lazy as in not wanting to do any lengthy job. eg just an annoyance toward these that use a jack-of-trade fat library to produce a slow app/ux instead of a more prune relevant library for a good one (of course bypassing the library in favour of direct ux/app...

    How Does One Explain The Difference In The Size & RAM Usage Of Modern Operating Systems?

    @Paralel its a rather convoluted topic but just to try sum up *a tiny bit* of it.. 1. lot of high-level abstractions (system 7 probably drew directly to the graphic engine while windows 95 had to go through the directx api and windows 11 probably is relatively much worser not to mention the...

    PowerMacs, Laptops and iMac G4 – Oh my!

    these media 100 cards sure are quite long just like the targa pci (say I just have to wonder if the media 100 itself is also roughly 12" long too? asking in name of as far as these "6 or 12 inch pci slots" sort of mac specs went for certain models yeah) sorry to be a little ot here but I wonder...

    ati xclaim vr pro?

    someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm suspecting at least one someone is sprouting false info that sadly seem to be getting reposted quite a few too many times everywhere on the web .. the 'xclaim vr pro' card's pn (now that I found a good photo that had one visible) actually seem to refer to...

    ati xclaim vr pro?

    mm I'm probably getting curious about this because at least one of the pro card lists an apple # on it but as far as I can tell either it must had been a custom thing or someone been too goofing up with passing off a windows pci card as an apple-compatible one..guess I'm going look some more
