I use this machine (a retired video production system) for audio production. The discs coming out of the current internal drive are progressively flakey on all playback CD decks and so I need something that WORKS. Is it reasonable to replace it with a current internal replacement... choices

Re: Geforce 7800 locks up

Chrales, I too am surprised the G4 even boots without taping over any pins. I'd strongly suggest (like other before me) to tape over pins 3 & 11. The Mac Wiki has a step-by-step guide to do so and it is not difficult to do. I myself have recently installed a Geforce FX5500 inro my G4 QS (933MHz) w

Hi all! I've recently acquired an Airport card to fit inside my G4 QS (the 2002 model). It works fine, meaning it connects to the Extreme base station and gets me on the internet. The problem is the reception: I have my Airport Extreme base station set up on the second of 3 floors. My eMac on the

Re: 10.3 doesn’t see newer HD?

It sounds like you have the right idea but your implementation is backwards. You want to put the iBook into target disk mode, plug a Firewire cable into it and the G4, then boot the G4 off of the install DVD. The iBook's drive should be listed as an drive option to install to. On Thu, Sep 15, 201

Re: 10.3 doesn’t see newer HD?

I think you should try the external HD. I've had my Power Macs G4 linked via Firewire and TDM, with a disc in the drive. The disc didn't show, the HDD did. I've searched some on the net and it appears that support for optical drives in TDM depends on the model of Macintosh you use as the target ma
