Yesterday, PPC support on current Apple software was dropped

Hi all! I discovered this group on LEM, excellent site by the way, and I'm anxious to participate. I'm quite a fan of Apple PPC based computers: currently I own a PowerBook G4 1,4 GHz (BT1.1) and a maxed-out badass Power Mac G5 PCI-X 2x2.0. My name is Ángel, but you can write it Angel anyway,

Thanks to all for the advice! He is not using OS 9 at all, just OSX 10.4.11 so all should go smoothly then as I had hoped for! Tom Em quinta-feira, 13 de setembro de 2012 09h14min34s UTC-7, Valter Viglietti escreveu: Il giorno 13-09-2012 17:45, spilrules ha scritto: I am currently

Bruce, thanks for the link to SwitchresX - the display is showing 1680x1050 now, although it took four restarts to get both the nVidia card and the display to co-operate. Ged On 06 /09/ 2012, at 20:49, Bruce Johnson wrote: On Sep 6, 2012, at 12:12 PM, geraldcornish wrote: Hi all,

I've had a lot more connected to a G4 than a couple of drives and a 9800. My guess is that your power supply is getting marginal. After 12 years likely the capacitors in the power supply have started going. You could recap the power supply or do an atx conversion. Another option is to power some
