Cheers. I got two G4 Power Macs, one 667MHz, one 750 Quicksilver, payed 40€ together. Both have very loud and slow IDE drives. Thought i update them with some old Sata SSDs i have. Should i get a special 40pin IDE to Sata adapter or are the 8€ ones from china ok?

And another view:

There it is: Any ideas what this part does?

So, i was just looking into that old and beaten Classic i had in a box for what seems like years. Caps are leaked, green muck on the traces, it still starts, but without sound. The hardware is pretty much the usual, memory expansion to 4 MB and a hard disk. And i found this: The...

Here, feast your eyes on my IBM Workpad, which is a Palm Vx undercover: I remember that it came with PalmOS 3.5, you could call IBM and they sent you a CD with PalmOS 4.0, which you then had to write into the ROM. I also remember that i had an app that would overclock the hardware...

I'm not sure it's the right place, maybe it should be moved to the Lounge. I just found this comparison between an Applea nd a china knockoff Ehternet-to-USB converter. Kind of interesting: http://projectgus.com/2013/03/anatomy-of-a-cheap-usb-ethernet-adapter/

Yes, there is some yellowing in the first gen iMac already. I have three. One has a good picture, but yellowed case, another has a good case, but bad picture, so i swapped. Here is what i learned: The case is made of two layers, the outer see-through layer, which is good plastic, not brittle...

It is! ;D Would another rom file help ypu with Mini vMac? . However, i'm not sure about the legality, so i don't provide the direct link. The Macintosh Liberation Army must be protected against unnecessary legal risks. :approve: BTW, i have nearly perfect sound with BasiliskII...

Someone next town sells a broken iMac. I placed a bid. Even if it's broken beyond repair, some parts should be salvageable. :lol: The seller says it's a M5521 in green. The seller hasn't answered my questions for a couple of days. It seems to me it's a third gen iMac with the new HK-speakers...

Is there some special secret why they all are broken? Maybe something i can fix? And if not, what model do i get for replacement?

I have no experience with newer Macs whatsoever. I have a Rev A iMac, but believe it's not enough to play modern, games that where available for the Mac OS 9. So here is my wishlist: should be as silent as possible should be able to play all games that came out, even later ones, within reason...

While feeding my demons and searching for p0rn of insects getting drunk on rotten fruit (i'm a complicated man, don't ask), i came across this page: http://www.ikasu.net/lombard/hdd/scsi/ It seems this particular gentleman was, some 11 years ago, highly interested in benchmarking of harddisks...

Gents, would this do the trick? http://www.ebay.de/itm/4MB-SGRAM-Video-SODIMM-Memory-Upgrade-/350213344883 He lists all sorts of iMacs, but not the 233 MHz Model i have. :?:

I liberated quite a bit of small stuff recently: 1 CD-Caddy. Finally i can listen to music on my C610! (1 Euro) 1 Net Talk Connector kit from Apple, new, still in the box, never used (2 Euros) 6 Net Talk Connectors and some cables, they look good, but not as good as the new one (6 Euros) 1...

Another adapter, this time Miro branded. It sucks. I wish i hadn't payed 10 Euros for it. Here is a quick table of what worked with a modern display, the LG Flatron IPS224 22" TFT, wich you can get for about 150 Euros at Amazon: Miro MC2, MacOS 7.5.5, LG IPS224 TFT Q650 C610 P475...
