Support for Apple iBook keyboards
I need a replacement keyboard for my iBook (Processor 500MHz, PowerPC G3, 384 MB SDRAM, build 8S165, machine model PowerBook4,1, CPU PowerPC 750 (32.14), Bus Speed 67 MHz, USB Bus 3200, File System HFS+ AND - DIMM0/BUILT-IN: size 128 MB. Please advise mr of the following: 1) Do you carry it? 2) What is the price? 3) And most importantly- how easy/difficult is it to install? The only experience that I have with hardware installing a new HD on a Power Mac 7100. Thank you in advance with your help/reply.

Hi Bruce, First, thanks very much for your help. I downloaded the a iso of -current from a UK mirror. But when booting from this, after showing all the devices as it loads it finally displays the following messages: WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (1 try left) acd0: WARNING - SETFEATURE SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (0 try left) acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out These messages are then repeated endlessly. Also at the Openfirmware screen, as you suggested I typed: dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 then: set-dfs-high which the response was: unknown word Have you any idea what this is all about?
