    HOW TO Use a G3/G4 Power Adapter on a Clamshell iBook / Pismo / Wallstreet / Lombard / PDQ / PowerBook G3 / 1400 / 3400

    As discussed in another thread (What chargers work with iBook G3 clamshell?) I have now confirmed it is possible to use a simple headphone jack adapter to step-up the size of the center-pin on the G3 / G4 Power Supply for the more common White iBook G3 / G4 and PowerBook G4 series. I found a...

    Bottlenecks & unpacking the limits of 10/100 Ethernet on iBook G3 clamshell

    To be blunt, I’ve been torn between posting this on the Server/Networking sub-forum or over here, but as it focusses mostly on legacy equipment and Ethernet protocols, the balance seems tipped to favour here. [Mods: you’re welcome to move this over to the other sub-forum if this more...

    Missing memory? an area on clamshell logic board where onboard memory was never added

    Hi. Longtime, but occasional reader here. So I've owned a couple of Rev. C clamshells (an indigo and a 466 key lime) over the last dozen years. With the latter, I restored it partially earlier this year — adding a 128GB SSD, a DVD-RW (which mates to the original bezel), and an LG XGA 1024x768...

So i want battery life again, instead of plugging it in all the time. Have you guys replaced yours? if so was it worth it and has the battery...

    The G3 Challenge

    UPDATE: Trying to get the software installed now. Unfortunately, I seem to have terrible luck when it comes to things like this, so I'm getting error messages. But I figured it out before, so there must be a way! So, I have decided that, starting Tuesday, I am going to try and use my G3...

    Indigo Clamshell

    Does this item look like it would be worth looking into? The seller is asking $50 for it.

    iBook clamshell 466SE as music Plex client?

    Hi all, I have always wanted an iBook clamshell as I love their retro design, and have just seen one a graphite 466 SE on eBay, with Airport and upgraded RAM (I assume to the max 576MB but not sure) running OS X Tiger. I don't really have any particular need for it but I just fancy one (I...

    iBook G3 Tangerine

    So I got my hands on one, and this is another PowerPC machine I really wanted. I was very lucky to get this one for just €30. A Tangerine iBook G3 Clamshell. Now, it does have the sadly very common cracks in the handle and around the Apple logo on the front bezel. The design just made this...
