    Leopard on G4 PowerMac3,1

    Hello, I recently obtained a Sawtooth G4 (400MHz AGP), and I'm trying to install Leopard on one of the internal drives (for multiple reasons). But I can't get anything to boot. No matter what I try, I always get the same exact kernel panic, with the error: "Unable to find driver for this...

    Good PCI IDE cards for a G4 Sawtooth?

    Currently I have 3 HDs in my G4 Server, but one of them is in the zip drive bay. I want to get it out of there and maybe add another drive, but I need an IDE controller. Are there any good, inexpensive options?

    OSX 10.3 or 10.4 CD-ROM

    Hi folks. I got myself a Powermac G4 "digital audio" (466 MHz, 768MB RAM, ATI RAGE128) off Freecycle, as well as a nice 20" acrylic ADC Cinema Display. The thing is, the hard drive has been erased on the Mac - and it's only got a CD drive. I believe there are some boxed versions of OSX 10.3 and...

    Is my CPU dead?

    Hello, I have recently purchased a Power Mac G4 MDD Dual 1,42Ghz. All I wanted to do was swapping the CPU board with my MDD 2003 single 1,25Ghz. I turned the 1,42 on, everything seemed to work, so later on I swapped the CPUs. Now the 1,42 MDD with a swapped single 1,25Ghz CPU works just fine...

    Hi everyone. I recently acquired a Powermac G4 MDD with dual 1.25ghz cpus. I've been maxing it out with parts I have available, like the RAM and hard drive.
