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 really wish there was a 3d printable ibook G3 clamshell optical drive bezel. especially if there would be versions of it that work on newer optical drives that aren't so picky.

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?

i am going to look into that perhaps, also i wonder if i could change the startup chime to the one from the TAM?

solder joints apparently. i guess not all of them stuck down.

i was in fact SUCCESSFUL! now i just need to figure out what i need to modify in the bootrom for both the 1MB of L2 cache and 128MB of onboard memory.

the confusing part is I did manage to install these correctly, yet it still doesn't pass

turns out there is in fact an address line that likely is not connected, A16 on the 128Kx36 chips is on pin 50 although that is a no-connect on the old 64Kx36 chips... probably why the cache isn't working

so i managed to get the RAM upgrade to 128MB working, for a total of 640MB on the system. sadly i am still stuck on the cache failing to pass the power on test, which makes the whole machine feel rather slow (powerbook 5300 much?).

turns out the cutoff voltage is not present, gotta fix that. there were a couple of leaking capacitors on the board which caused some traces to likely go bad.

speak of the devil, i am working on one of these too... i just recapped most of it (didn't have all capacitors on hand) and this happens (monitor gets WAY too bright and is unfocused)... any idea what this could be caused by?
