Sweet Yeti of the Serengeti! How much for a G4 PowerBook these days?

-edit-

Thread merge. Sorry, Harry, I approved them in the order I saw them :D


I paid $750 off ebay for my PB G4 1139 but... it's in absolutely  mint condition, complete with all accesories, original box, inserts,  etc. Some good deals for a nice one (i.e. not mint) are around $350-$450  on ebay... still quite cheap for great power in comparison with...  other alternatives :-)

Cheers,

Dragster

Is there a secret to burning the ISO?

I can't seem to get the CD to be recognized on my Powerbook5,8.


I burned it with Makecd as well and it worked just fine on my PB 5.9.


make sure to use the "add track button" in make cd, after that a new windoiw will open, there's a button there you click to select the track type, select "image file", select the ISO with the requester and burn, it should work that way.


Good luck,


Dragster.

Thanks. I'll try it at night at home.



Yep.. and I can confirm the guide applies for the Powerbook as I was able to install MOS 3.0 on my Powerbook together with OSX.

Cheers,
Dragster.
