Hey everyone, first post here. I'm a really big G3 iBook fan, and have a couple already (like my near-new tangerine 300mhz).
I just got a 466mhz (!) iBook G3 Gemini for a buck. Yes, seriously, a dollar. Anywho, it's in great working/physical condition with the exception of the touch screen. It has a ding in the screen, so it doesn't work like it should.
Personally? I dont care about that. Right now, it has OSX on it, and I'm assuming drivers for the touch screen, as in order to get the mouse to work you have to press on the screen which frees the cursor to be able to be moved by the mouse.
I want OS 9 on this thing, and am about to buy the install disk. But I wanted to know, if I installed a fresh copy of OS 9 on this without any "Gemini" drivers on the thing, would the screen just act like a normal non-touch screen, making the mouse work like normal?
I'll be setting it up like it's pictured below. I just want to make it so the mouse can work on OS9 without touching the screen.
Also, is it possible to find a replacement touch screen for this thing in the future? Thanks evreyone.
