    Mac OS9 on a Mac Mini, (native boot)

    this is super exciting, I would love to get OS 9 running natively on my G4 mini.  It mostly sits unused since Classic mode isn't really that functional for older music software.

    512k M0110 Keyboard Stem Replacement?

    Thanks, that's what I figured.  I might as well replace the whole switch at that point since I'll have a new one anyway...

    512k M0110 Keyboard Stem Replacement?

    Hey all, I got a 512k recently, and the keyboard has a broken stem on the backspace key.  I have ordered a new switch and replacement keycap, but since the original switch still works (only the stem is snapped), I was wondering if there was a way for me to simply swap the stems out, rather than...

    Mac mini PPC/Intel Power Supply

    I somehow lost the 2009 adapter in my apartment, so I have to grab my spare from work before I can test it again.  I'm currently using the 85W with the G4 as intended, and everything seems to be working great.  I think the Intel mini is fine too (fingers crossed), I was just worried because I...

    Mac mini PPC/Intel Power Supply

    Hey all, I'm setting up a 2009 Mac mini to give my parents as an xmas gift.  I plugged it in, installed 10.9, set up their user accounts and then went to hook up my G4 mini in the spot that the '09 was sitting.  I realized that I had been using the G4 mini's 85W power supply when setting up the...
