2011-12-03 Thread QuoVadis
Hi John! I myself haven't seen a G4 MDD with a Zip-drive, but they do exist, albeit in small numbers. I suspect the mounting of the ZIP-drive in the MDD to be similar to how they were mounted in preceding G4's: mounted flush to the front panel, with the opening in the front panel having the

I have a MDD G4 PowerMac and wanted a Zip drive for it, so I found one on eBay. It makes it easy to Sneaker Net files between my MDD and a bunch of my other old computers that also have Zip drives, but I don't have connected to my local network. I already had a Zip drive to install in my

G4 Cube and Quicksilver

I recently acquired a Cube, tower 2 monitors through a freebee day at one of the Mac forums I frequent. Free except for fairly hefty shipping. Everything powers up but only to the point of the dreaded flashing '?'. Does this indicate a need for install of a fresh OS or perhaps HD problems? PS:

I'm looking for a reasonably priced PowerBook g3 pismo. I just want to be able to take my classic apps with me as I still use a few. eBay users seem to want quite a bit of money for such old machines. Doesn't have to have power adapter or battery as I can get those cheap on amazon. If anyone

Roger, There is the possibility that everything is OK but there is no operating system installed. Try booting it from an OS X DVD. Cubes are delicate creatures, and events such as shipping can mess up their internal connections. I had the same experience with a Cube I got from a fellow swapper
