Memory Upgrade

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade the memory on a PowerBook G-3 2000 series(I believe that that means with firewire). My problem is removing the case from the bottom in order to replace the 126MB that came with it. I have the PDF file from vikingcomponents.com; however, its diagram shows 3 screws going

You can buy a Voodoo5 specifically for OF/Mac. Unfortunately, Linux support for this card lags. You can buy a Voodoo3 and flash it under MacOS with a utility that overwrites the PC Bios with OpenFirmware drivers. (PCI for sure, not sure about AGP) Besides that, ATI usually carries at least one

Help porting Hercules 2.12 to PowerPC

2001-07-25 Thread Matt Zimmerman
Hercules 2.12 doesn't seem to build on powerpc due to its use of the 'sqrtl' function, which computes the square root of a long double. This function is in libm on other architectures (though it doesn't appear to be documented), but is absent on powerpc. How should I work around this problem? (P
