Hi Caleb,
my experience with Jaguar on my Lombard 333 were not that good. Lenghty
spinning ball and so on all over the place. Mail in particular was close to
being unusable. Even so with a 5400 rpm 40 GB HD and 384MB of RAM. Panther,
however, was a whole different world and I still run 10.3.9 on
I also use DVDshrink on my PC to make DVD-R copies, again for personal

As I said, a few months back people on a list (can't remember which,
I guess I'm on to many) there was a discussion about how CCC would
not make a boot drive of OS X.4. It may have been fixed since then.
I tried and it would not boot, it copied data but could not boot. But
SuperDuper!

hi folks,
a friend just bought a new shiny 15 G4 and we have a couple of questions to
get started:
- filling in the registration at startup and sending to Apple is enough to
have the PB registred (with serial Nr., etc) to her name for all purposes?
Or is something else needed?
- I think I vaguely
Have you looked at the takeapart guides at PBfixit.com?
They're quite good and well illustrated.
Yes, thanks Bruce, I've got the PBfixit guide, which is excellent as you
say, but just different enough on this point to, ahem, another guide,
to be a bit perplexing.

I can only comment on a couple of points, having no experience with the
remaining issues:

not noticed the fan kick in. I am going to look for a temperature

Welcome to the club. I have had a Lombard for the last few months with
a bad L2 Cache. I have been running 10.3.9 quite satisfactorily
however.
I would suppose it would run slower with a bad La Cache? Do you have a feel
for that, or is this not really relevant to speed?
cheers,
Thanks for the very clear explanation. I believe that I have the
appropriate cables.
But the one thing that still isn't clear is do I have the correct
video adapter? Do you know if there's a way to tell?
I guess the best way to find out is giving it a try (it can't hurt). Connect

well, that's exactly my point: the RAM is from the same manufacturer, has
exactly the same electrical characteristics than the 256 modules that came
with my PB G4, therefore if it works on one machine (as it does) and not on
the other there's something wrong with the machine and/or OS design.
thanks for all the suggestions. After way too long down time, it turns out
that the 512 RAM module I has added appears to be the culprit. Disk turned
out to be fine, checked with SMARTD. Replacing the original 256 MB module
restored stability.
I'm puzzled as the 512 module is a 512mb PC133
You can install OS 9 only if you wish. In my current setup I have an OS 9

When booting in OS X, I have classic pref set to run classic from the Syetem

independent of OS X.
