Subject: Using and old G4 Powerbook


Hi Group,


Post 3.


As I'm doing this change from PC to Mac astro imaging thing on the cheap (I'm a Mac man through and through BTW) I'm temporarily pulling together kit to make a start.


Previously I've been using the usual Windows set-up with a PC laptop, K3CCD Tools, Registax and a Philips ToUcam.


I bought my son a second-hand G4 Powerbook a couple of years ago for his birthday (to stop him using my Mac and for college) and have only just looked at it's spec. It only has a 20GB HD and even thinning it down can only free-up half of it so I've only got 10GB to play with. This is very little as I'm intending to do LRGB imaging with it and to top it all it hasn't got USB 2 any suggestions?
