Nice! Congratulations on the successful edit.

What I really want to do: make a video where I use a Power Mac G4 (specifically, my 450 DP named Aleister Crowley) as a genuine workstation for modern day work. Not just a home computer, web server (which it will become after filming) or internet portal, or the most popular use, a games machine...

So there's the obvious battery repacking -- with a veeery rough calculation, I figure a 3350mAh set of cells will probably last in a PowerBook G3 Lombard about 12 hours. The math on that statement is so simple that I wouldn't be surprised if it was wrong. Then there's LED backlighting your...

It turns out, the 512 module is just recognized as 256MB. I wonder if I still have memory interleaving combined with my actual 256...

As it turns out, I forgot to reset the jumper to M/S position; I had set it to S/M in case it helped at all with installing. It works now, though the adapter is still having issues freezing every so often.

They use standard sized cells -- 18650, so you can just buy eight of those and replace them. They're about $4 each and newer ones are higher capacity, but you'll have to be careful and it's generally advised to buy ones with metal tabs on them so you don't solder directly to the terminals. There...

You can get them, but as far as I'm aware they're essentially the same thing as a CF to IDE. I can try, but they also sacrifice one of the reasons I went with CF -- pulling the 16GB Mac OS card out and putting in the 64GB OpenBSD at a whim, or the other way around.

Alright, it fully installed, but it's now spitting "can't OPEN hd:,ofwboot" at me when I try to boot it.

I've been trying to install OpenBSD for the last three days now. It's been going terribly. Turns out, the issue may be my CF adapter, but that hasn't stopped me from continuing to try to brute force it anyway even after learning this (I'm on what must be attempt #40 now). The activity LED...

I've been using my iBook G4 for the last few months as my main PC and the other computers I've used have also been PPC Macs (a PowerBook G3 Lombard, an iBook G3 900MHz, and a G4 Sawtooth), so this should be pretty easy since I have to do literally nothing to participate. I guess it's a little...
