ADB on a Yikes! G4?

I'm going to pretend my Sawtooth didn't hear that. 😛

Sawtooth G4's were decent. AGP Graphics, Redesigned Motherboard and better RAM capacities. And they predate the Digital Audio.

Anything less than a Digital Audio is crap. 😉 😛
Nonsense! 😛 Any G4 is super-awesome (except iBooks, with that stupid flaw where pressing the power button gradually breaks the logic board - most of the G4s were made before Apple quality went) - I love G3s and think they were some of the best Macs ever made (both the Beiges and the colour-Macs - very powerful, well built and ground-breaking designs from the colour-Macs, things we don't see so much of from Apple today), and so the G4s must be the same, only better. A Yikes is of course as good as a B&W G3 (which is awesome!), except with the addition of AltiVec and so compatibility with some of the new apps coming out now that are AltiVec only, and Leopard of course.

Re: Soldering tips from MacJunky

Hey, those are great!

Do you mind if I steal your post and post it on the PPCMLA?

Peace,

Drew

I guess winking emoticons and those with tongues hanging out mean something different here than they do everywhere else.

Let me know how it goes. I just got my hands on a 350MHz Yikes, and I'd love to use my Kensington TurboMouse 5.0 on it.

Edit: Nevermind, I realized mine was a Sawtooth. 😛

break it up or il let my dual G4 quicksilver kick all your g4's asses

so how did this end ? dead yikes! ?

lets assume you kill the yikes!

i take it it spossible to take a b&w G3 board take the G3 cpu of it and replace it with the yikes! G4 ? because thats all a yikes! is

Nah, I haven't gotten around to it yet. What with school stuff, and vacation, and life, and laziness, and this, and that, I just haven't bothered yet. I will though 🙂

Besides, I finally have an ADB Port to solder in there 😀

or just look for a b&w G3 board pull the G4 of the yikes! and you basically have the same machine

less hassle too
