You can eject the disc by turning the Mac on while holding the left mouse button/touchpad button. Also, always ALWAYS take keys off from the top of the key, not the side! You won't break the key if you do that.
MacOS9Lives is a custom version of MacOS 9 with some quality of life stuff and support for non supported machines. Not sure why the 12” didn’t like it though.
Ifixit has a lot of good step by step teaardowns that would help with disassembling stuff.. Also some of the G4s and older didn't boot from USB drives.
G4 and G3 can boot from USB via OpenFirmware commands. It looked like he was starting to figure that out but gave up. I've got a G3 iMac with a broken disc drive I just put a fresh install of Tiger on in the last couple weeks.
This shouldn't even be possible! These Powerbooks are never ment to run macos 9! These are normally os x only laptops! That is so weird! Amazing that the 17 inch booted from the macos 9 on some random hard drive . . . Crazy!
11:23 To get the disc out hold the trackpad button or the left button of a mouse when you hear the startup sound. Edit: 18:26 On some PowerPC computers, you can't boot off USB drives.
Now get a 512GB mSATA along with an mSATA to IDE enclosure. And then multiboot it 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 Leaked version, MorphOS, see if Haiku works, Debian PowerPC, OpenBSD PowerPC and/or NetBSD/macppc…. 7 OSes with one questionable? Yeah. I’d say that is gonna be the most cursed, loaded with software, PowerBook 12” on the planet

I tried holding down the button on boot and it unfortunately didn't eject
I love the niche genre of youtube videos where people torture themselves with old Macs. Reminds me of old druaga1 content. Great stuff, subscribed!

That's quite a good video card. It's better than the Intel GMA 950 that went into the 2006 MacBook (edited, I had typed PowerBook).
2006 MacBook, not PowerBook
@@Radiiiiiiiii Yeah, that’s what I meant. Thanks.
Powerbooks are powerfull, i'm sure it didn't got hurt by the first hit!

Crap design with the screws underneath the keys.
Let me guess - you're a Mac noob. Never heard of MacOS9Lives! and booting OS9 on unsupported G4s? 😂😂😂
