  • Here is my untidy setup. I used to have a cool setup before I got this G4, loosing the Powermac also meant loosing the scanner, video card, and sampler...of course I wouldn't swap back . I might as well show off my video collection now. …

  • I'll try it, however I did install OS9.2 onto the disk, is this not the same test? I will install OS X too, it's worth the try. It would be wierd if it worked!

  • It's a year old. I checked the ram by taking the added module out. The other piece is built in. Is there anyway of replacing the built in Ram? I agree, my next step is to call upon apple, I don't think I can do much with it now.

  • I've put the ram back in, still no luck. Can target disk mode be used with ethernet?

  • I don't trust RAM either, I've had bad ram myself, and a bust HD..some will remember my long posts about the IBM deskstar I ended up freezing=) I never got it fixed, IBM replaced it...with another 'deathstar'.. It would be bad if it was the unremov…

  • yeh I've reset the pram, I did it a while back, I'm not sure if I did it 3-4 times in a row? I remember it chiming lots of times, sorry if I sound vague, I've tried so many things with the computer, I can't remember half the stuff. Thanks for the…

  • I'll try putting the ram back in, although it worked fine for about a year, and there was no change when I removed it. I have tried extensions off, even using the CD=) I have heard of diskwarrior, which I might try next. Unfortunatly I don't h…

  • cheers, if possible I would like to avoid taking it into repairs, I have paid huge bills on numerous occasions, but I think I'm gonna have to sooner or later... Hopefully someone has heard of a similar problem, I'm sure it can be fixed somehow

  • I tried all that. I can't even start up off the Norton Diskdoctor CD because I get a crash and a BUS error. I'm prepared to do anything to get control of my iBook back. How can I wipe the hard drive (if i have to) without starting up?

  • Thanks for all replys, I realise now it is not for gaming, which was the main reason I borrowed it, but I will still probably make use of it for small tasks when I need to. I also found it works much better in 9.1 (opposed to OSX) and with less colo…

  • There is quite a big differnece in price of the 667 (with 256 mb +30GB HD) and the 800 (1gig ram + 60GB HD), so is it worth it? The deal I am getting at the moment from a local authorised apple dealer gets me the 800 for about $3000, and the 667 is…
