just got a very cheap 5300 board on ebay in case i couldn't get the 6360 one working (i know it needs a 3.3V relay of some sort)... just need to solder on a new CPU because the one on the board was damaged. luckily i have a spare CPU from a dead powerbook 5300c.

i can log in just fine.

yeah... it's hard to find the boards though.

hmmm that would be interesting... a 7447B (which is what i've got) ibook clamshell... lol the hardest part i think is getting the firmware to work with it. that would already be one hell of a performance boost from the G3/400... also, how would i get my hands on one of the interposers?

what would be a good voltage for 600mhz? do i have to use a custom cooling solution?

@LightBulbFun would it be possible to put the 7400 into an iBook clamshell? or should i go for the 7410

if thats the case, i'm lucky i have a few 7400s i can try reballing and then throwing on there lol

yeah it should have .bin at the end of it

yeah i'm really considering doing this because i need to put my 6360 board to good use, also i don't see myself getting a more proper board upgrade anyway seeing as how expensive and rare they are now

i renamed the extensionless file to .bin and used the .cue to burn it to a CD

i wonder how fast this will be with a 600mhz G4 7410 in it. i know i'll need a fan and a better heatsink (not sure what will work though)... just not sure how exactly i'll go about connecting it to power

i am curious about this because i own a color classic with a seemingly dead motherboard, and i also happen to own a spare 6360 motherboard... i wanna hear your all's thoughts, i have the wiring harness from that 6360 as well so i may consider doing the mod because it's quite hard to find LC...

yes it edits the ROM directly by only updating the config block itself. its very easy to use.

i was able to edit the ROM directly using the program, i just had to hold power and command while turning it on until i hear a long beep. i was also able to get everything working as i stated earlier.

got the bus speed set correctly in the config block, now the CPU is being properly recognized at its true speed. maybe, when i do more practice, and improve upon my skills... i should definitely put a G4 into this computer

guess what, i am actually typing this on the ibook right now... the modern web doesn't feel so usable but 68kmla forums on its modern layout works alright. also i still need to fix the nvram values for displaying the correct clock and bus speed (400MHz, 100MHz) maybe some day i should put a 7410...

guess what... 20 worked perfectly and now all the cache is seen in system profiler! thank you so much...

okay so i figured it out, theres been an error on the soldered ram writeup. in order to get access to the ROM you need to actually hold command and power at the same time until you hear a beeping sound, then it'll let you program it. also i need help on what to set the L2 size value to. i set...

i couldn't get the LED to flash on mine. i think it works a little differently? idk

tried using the GUI tool but to no avail, the program doesn't recognize my bootrom hardware which is weird. what linux live CD should i use to get the flashrom program?
