Re: G4 TOWER

The drive is on a sled which slides downward and locks onto 3 pins on the case. There is a clutchplate on the left of the sled. Pull that toward you and push the entire sled upward. The whole drive jumps out quite suprisingly. Geoff b On 11 Aug 2009, at 3:41 AM, Fabian Fang wrote: > > On Au

Re: 2 Questions

Howdy, There is nothing special about the power adapter. I had one go bad at a company I used to work for and I just swapped in a spare one we had. Unfortunately, I don't remember the specs. Look on the drive and see if it says whether it needs a regulated power supply or not. And, did you ge

OK, this is probably a really stupid question, but I just bought an old G4 tower (450 Mhz), and I was wondering how one removes the HD? (I actually bought two...one of which is the "good" one--but has no HD--the other one has a HD, but is otherwise inferior). I want to take the HD out of the on

Re: help in upgrading powermac quick silver 733

The upgrade went very well. My machine came with Leopard on it,Leopard 10.5.7. I'm not sure how the original owner got that on. Eventually I may install 10.5.8 but only after I get a Leopard dvd and after some of the bugs have been ironed out of 10.5.8. I do know my quicksilver

Re: Open Office vs. NeoOffice

If you need features, get OpenOffice 3; fully Mac-native and fast. NeoOffice was always slow and buggy. Nevermind that. Feature-wise, it seems like a buggy, slow AW6. I am a huge AppleWorks fan...but even that's overkill for me. I've managed to finish a book using Google Docs shared with my edit

Hi! There is a PowerPC version of Java from IBM, available for Linux, AIX and z/OS. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/ You need to register for a download. The Linux version works okay on Gentoo Linux, at least it did on my previous system, a Power Mac G4 MDD. Available is 1.4
