I have a very old iMac G3 that's still working. I was wondering whether I should upgrade it to Tiger or Panther, but I'm not sure whether it would be capable of running OS X. I tried looking for the computer specs, but I couldn't find it. It's running OS 8.6 right now.
I am still not sure whether to upgrade, because this computer gives me so many memories. The Operating system and the files give me all these memories from the past, but a simple back-up of all of the files doesn't sound good to me, because the operating system is a big thing. The big question is... should I upgrade? Can I dual boot the system to OS X and 8.6 as well? Please help me. Thanks!

EDIT: I also have a MacBook, so I wasn't sure whether I should upgrade it to OS X. I haven't used the iMac for a while, because 8.6 doesn't seem as great as OS X. Do you think I should upgrade it to OS X?

okay so i bought an old power mac g4 off ebay for about $40, the description said it had a 40gb hard drive, 1gb ram, dvd etc.. with panther preinstalled. I got the mac and all was good, except it was a 4gb hard drive not a 40gb. the seller apologized and sent a 80gb hard drive in replacement for the 4gb. he said panther was preinstalled on the 80gb hard drive but it wasnt. when i have this hard drive in the computer a flashing finder/question mark icon comes up and it does not boot. i have a copy of osx tiger and i put that in the dvd drive (ive tried leopard too) but for some reason the machine itself, no matter what hard drive, will never boot from the dvd or cd. i try holding c, or the cmd key, but nothing. How can i format this hard drive? or better yet fix it, and if thats not possible. is there a way of transferring all the data (including the OS) from the 4gb hard drive to the 80gb one?


Also i forgot to add, that i have a old windows machine, and when i put the 80gb hard drive in that and try to boot from that, it says theres no operating system installed, in addition to that, ive tried booting my xp disc so that i could format the hard drive, but i always get a random error and the disc cant boot. its not the disc or the drive, because that works fine with the 4gb hard drive with panther and the other original hard drive from my windows machine. so if anyone could help me, thatd be great. thanks!

Continuing from yesterday’s entry - here’s more of the high and lows of Marvel Premiere:

Jumping ahead to issue #43, we find Paladin, the rather intriguing mercenary who first popped up in Daredevil. I was re-reading this book not too long ago, having skipped the credits page and it didn’t take me long to realize that it was written by Don McGregor, the archenemy of the typewriter. Ugh, what a wordy mess! Now, I normally loooooove Tom Sutton’s artwork, but it just doesn’t work here. Perhaps it’s the color job or just the shoddy production, but everything gets blurred together and it’s extremely difficult to follow. In the right hands, this could have worked out as a decent story. As it stands, I can only recommend that you avoid it at all costs.

If I’ve been sounding a bit negative in discussing the last few issues, get ready for a change of tone because I totally love the Scott Lang Ant-Man that pops up here for a couple of issues. These are two fine, fine issues written by one of my all-time favourites, Dave Michelinie. I met Dave last year, but got so wrapped up in telling him how much I loved his Unknown Soldier that I forgot to mention that I loved how he brought back Ant-Man. These issues also feature absolutely beautiful artwork by Byrne and Layton. This is very good stuff – compelling storytelling and imaginative art. It’s definitely some of the best comics of this whole series.

Skipping ahead to the three issue Black Panther arc, Ed Hannigan tried to tie up the loose ends from Don McGregor’s KKK storyline in Jungle Action, all but ignoring all of the craziness (and I mean that in a good way) that we saw in the Kirby series. Hannigan does a pretty good job but, much like McGregor, his scripts are far too wordy. It can be exhausting trying to trudge through some of the dialogue, but the overall concepts are good and it’s a shame that the execution wasn’t better. I feel much the same about Jerry Bingham’s pencils – sometimes they look ok, but other times they look like they are straight out of 1981 issue of Charlton Bullseye (and I don’t mean that in a good way). One of these issues has a great letter from Jim Oswley (Christopher Priest) commenting on the portrayal of Harlem and black stereotypes in the Falcon issues. That’s the kind of stuff you miss in trades.

Gene Day absolutely rocks in the Caleb Hammer issue, with help from Tony DeZ. The first new western character introduce at Marvel in a decade. He’s rough and tumble Pinkerton agent with a tragic past who resembles Clint Eastwood even more than Jonah Hex. There’s not all that much new here, but it is a wonderfully delivered western story and a nice change from the revolving door of second stringers. It’s quite incredible how much background is crammed in here without really interfering with the action. It’s truly too bad that westerns had fallen out of favor as I really think that Peter Gillis and Gene Day were onto something here.

We talked a lot about Howard Chaykin creations and artwork in the earlier issues, and he now returns with Dominic Fortune. Fortune is a character who, for all intents and purposes originated at Atlas-Seaboard as the Scorpion. He’s a fun old school adventurer who first joined the Marvel Universe in the mid-70s with infrequent appearances. This is a very, very fun issue with Chaykin’s layouts beautifully finished by Terry Austin. What a treat it is to see Austin’s work in all its glory. For those of you who’ve met him, you know that Terry Austin is just about the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. This is a superb single issue story – keep an eye out for it.

Finally, I’m going to leave you with Doctor Who. Aside from catching the occasional episode on the Buffalo PBS station back in the early 80s, I have next to no background with the good Doctor. These four books, which reprint the UK weeklies, are a lot of fun but the real treat is to gaze at Dave Gibbons’ beautiful artwork. As an added bonus, there is some new, US material by Dave Cockrum and Walt Simonson. Every time I see Cockrum artwork these days, I kick myself for not fully recognizing how awesome he was while he was alive. For some reason, one of these books throws in a Werewolf By Night story – I love those oddities. I’d imagine that these are a must have for any Doctor Who fanatic.

So that’s a look at Marvel Premiere. I haven’t hit them all, but this should give you a taste of what to expect. These books are permanent residents of dollar bins around the world, so you can cherry pick the best of the lot without taking much of a financial hit.

Before I begin I would like to let it be known that at this point I am successfully running Return To Zork (1993) in DOS format using DOSBOX. I have an eMac running Panther 10.3.9. It took quite some tweaking but I got it to run and I am really happy about that.

I am a diehard fan of the Zork series of games and I own all of them. :)

I have the same game for "Power Macs" and it was released in 1994. But Classic wont run it on my eMac. I do believe it needs 256 colors and resolution of 640x480. I run it really well in my :apple: PM 8500/180 but that computer is being used by my 2 year old and this is my personal computer so I wish it would work here.

I need a good, reliable, Power Macintosh emulator in which I can play these games. I have loads of them (at least 300) that I wish I could play here. I was looking into this old archive and I see not many people gave really good useful advice: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=18451

There someone suggests the poster to go and buy new games. Heck if there were GOOD games out there nowadays, and those who know what I am talking about, games nowadays they just don't impress me. Played and passed Half-Life 2 in my hubby's laptop, I am not impressed :confused:

Would love to see some constructive help please and thank you so much!!

Hi guys,
To cut a long story short, I now have 3 eMacs as listed below....
1 ... 800 MHz - CD drive - 40 gig Hard drive - 768 RAM - Internally busted so no image on screen.
2 ... 800 MHz - CD drive - 60 gig Hard drive - 768 mb RAM - Panther - Works fine
3 ... 1000 MHz - Superdrive - 80 gig HD - 640 mb RAM - Tiger - Awful looking case - Works fine.

I also have a suitable 512 mb RAM chip. I plan to use the RAM from the busted one and the spare chip to max out the two working eMacs and fit Airport extreme cards but it's the case I need a bit of help with.
The faster of the eMacs was used in an office and is full of stickers. It also has several gouges out of it and even big globs of paint. (Luckily there are none near the fan area or on the front) I was toying with the idea of removing the rear case of the duff eMac which is fantastically clean and swapping it with this rear cover from HELL. The only snag is that, being different models, will it fit? Are the screw holes the same? Do the switches and sockets all line up?
Does anybody know?
Cheers,
Steve
