you know, there are some guys out there that can just replace the chips. yes. the soldered on chips. it'll take some searching, but there are a lot of guys that at least used to mod their ipaqs and whatnot to have more memory. similar chip size. they would need new chips, and i don't knwo where to get them (allied?) but a used motherboard may be had cheaper than the labor. also go visit a college near you, perhaps one of the EE students is good enough to help you out. college students often do excellent work for a modest wage. ymmv, but good luck! -Jason Economou Carbotron Composites On Feb 18, 2005, at 12:54 PM, thor wrote: > >> So I thought, if only I can connect to it using my other Mac >> and control it from another screen. > ------- > You mean something other than the T-mode available via a firewire > cabel between the two and the T-key pressed during upstart of the > faulty computer? Yes, not that. Then it's just a harddisk, but I want to use it's CPU, ethernet, soundcard, etc. Few things that I could imagine for such usage: - run OS 9 and work with apps that are not OS X compatible. - run sound software processes that are to heavy to use on only one machine - run streaming servers for music - set up a Wiki server or a website - etc. I.e. loads of things that my computer can still do although the screencard is dead .cheers thor _______________________________________________ Titanium mailing list Titanium at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/titanium
