i'm happy to report i'm writing this from 9.2.2 on the ibook. i had to use 9.2.2 universal now that it will boot os9 cds.

At this point, i'm more after getting the original install designed for this iBook, as now it boots OS 9 discs without any problems, ever (for some reason)

Most drivers. I cannot sleep the iBook, sound doesn't work, there's a secondary display in the Monitors CP, errors even starting up (extensions need to be off)...

uh, it boots, but it's VERY wrong for my specific ibook.

good news! found a cd that doesnt complain about anything. restoring the hd right now using iBookG391CD_Rest.ZIP.

I'm now booting to the Install CD, clean HD, still refuses to install.

I'm going to try using Disk Setup, because I have pretty much no interest in running OS X.

The other disk won't boot at all.  :huh:

I rebuilt the desktop file, (Classic>Advanced>Rebuild Desktop File) and reset my PRAM. No luck.

Yeah, in OF it reports as a PowerBook4,3 and says it has a PowerPC 750 (1.12) CPU in System Profile. Could you tell me where the expansion slot is? I have no idea.

This iBook G3 seems to be this specific model (EveryMac) and despite all my efforts the farthest I can get it into the OS9 boot process is a blinking floppy disk. I say seems to be because either the RAM has been upgraded or I have a different model that has all the same specs except having...

I used the iMac Service Source, searching for information on this and I followed these instructions: 1: ✓ (I don't use any) 2: ✓ (Isn't this supposed to restart the iMac though?) 3; ✓ 4: ✓ 5: ✓ 6: Partial sound on left ear, only on first HEADPHONE jack on front, but not speakers or speaker...

I can't find any pinouts of the iMac G3's Headphone board (next to the left speaker). I have no speaker output, and I assume that the board may be the problem, looking at older Apple Support Forum posts. Looking at this pinout (for the G5) I assume the pinout may be the same because of the...
