256GB SD Card, not 256MB...

Bought an ADATA 256GB SD card recently in a bargain sale for about US$70.

256GB, Adata, SD Card, Siivel, siivel.com,



Yes, it is 256GB, not 256MB. I will install it inside my iBook G3 i5 as a secondary drive, perhaps, for TimeMachine backup.

iBook Clamshell Mod - Connecting the LCD Panel with the Main Body

This is one of the passages about the iBook G3 Clamshell modification project, of which a logicboard of Intel i5 was being installed into the classic Apple iBook G3 Laptop.
Instead of using a 800x600 resolution LCD panel, we replace it by a new one with 1024x768. It is because a 800x600 LCD couldn't show all contents of Mac OSX Yosemite.

After we install the new LCD, we rearrange the wires as shown in the above picture. Then we attached the LCD with the main body of the iBook.

Now, the LCD was connected to the body of iBook. And it was booting Mac OSX Yosemite.

We have a video about this iBook G3 booting Mac OSX Yosemite:
