G5 iMac has been rescued from being recycled.  turns on, gives me the gray apple screen but just a constant spinning gear.   sounds like corrupt data/failing drive? pulled the drive out and realized I don't have an SATA to USB adaptor any more (well just have one for 2.5" drives).   next trick...

Have not found anyone to buy the old HP at work(last day at my current job today) so its going to come home with me,  kids print enough stuff to be worthwhile if just for the extra toner cartridge, one cartridge will last me years. The score is an HP Laserjet 8000DN B&W tabloid laser...

Machine has never had any problems, it was in daily use until a few weeks ago.  I installed fresh copy of 10.5 Thursday, did all updates,  used it on Friday all was fine.  Went to install iLife on it today (sunday) and nothing.  no life at all.  Any known issues with these you guys can think...

I got a partial list of the caps on my analog board, just missing one axial that's upside down so I can't read it and I can only read the two big main ones in the power supply. Does anyone have a comprehensive list? Want to order them so I can start recapping since they're both date coded...

Ended up with a pair of Lenovo thinkcenter (M57p) towers that were being discarded from a local store of a national pizza chain... and it does smell like pizza when they've been on for a while. |) Also included two touchscreen monitors, that's kind of fun. Thus far I screwed up the BIOS...

no I'm not going to have two... but I keep heming and hawing about snagging that SE/30 from my boss some how. (I used it today, made me think...) so I have a plus and finally have a good working keyboard. The plus is in VERY nice shape. clean case with only very light yellowing(100% even...

SO I came across an ad for a Apple ADC flat screen. price was right so I inquired(figured it was either a Tube one or 15". reply I got was, it was last used on a G4 mini, don't know if it will work with anything newer. huh... so I bit. ended up being a 17" studio(LCD) with an ADC to...

here's a shot while getting OS 7.6 downloaded off my file server via FTP Got it all configured and now I no longer have to use FTP, I can AFP to my 10.5 server WOO! 8-)

:p looks decent on a 15" flatscreen(even though the picture is crap)

got G4 iBook for the kiddo, it's a 933 and has OS 10.4 on it. works fine. just wondering if there is a speed hit if I were to upgrade to 10.5 and if so how big a hit? since 10.5 has better parental controls and runs a newer version of iTunes (don't know how much of an issue that'll be, but...

As the title says. I have permission from the wifey to set up a plus for my son to use on a desk *in the house!* 8-o The plus has 4MB RAM but I want to keep it limited to just programs that will operate off a floppy(don't have an external HDD, also want to keep the clutter down) Son is a...

I don't know if this has been posted, but I was just looking at artmix's ebay auctions and he's got a 50 pin SCSI to SATA adaptor now! 8-o

and a 4 plusses (so far I've made one working one out of the 4.... think I'll end up with two total, if one of the last three has a working tube) unfortunately SE/30 has the lines. :-/ one cap popped, just had to be the one near the video didn't it? Not skilled enough to replace the...

Barn is right... mouse poo ick. got a NeXT Station with megapixel display, Sun SPARCstation 5 with monitor, BeBox, and a DEC Multia. along with a pile of 'stuff' Had to toss a lot of stuff that was too icky, think a cat peed on some of it too :-x any how, the NeXT turns on(keyboard need...

new to me... continuation of my conquest thread moved to a more appropriate section for the current discussion. had my 3rd kernel panic, all three occurred over night. any ideas? my thought was internal HDD? will test that theory hopefullt this weekend, if not sometime next week...

is it still a conquest if it was from a family member? Uncle upgraded to an intel mini a few years back and had his old G4 mini laying around still. optical drive didn't work, took it to the apple store and the repair cost wasn't worth it(he was already complaining about how slow it was) So...

Making my own thread here... those the only limitations? only have 4MB in the 180 and those modules are not all that common either, and currently no HDD either. want one for occasional use of old 68k software I still have... Most of which is from the days I owned a Plus and later a PB...

Finally got my macbook. conquestish since it was $100 and in amazing condition and works perfectly. early 2007 so it's *just* meets the 10.7 cutoff, once I upgrade it to 2GB of RAM. downside to low use, battery has only 19 cycles, but it is completely dead :( was going to use this for...

particularly when you have a small child. Good way to practice his math 8-) Still have to go though what software I have to find all the age appropriate stuff and organize it a bit better.

scored a Quicktake 150, with the manual, travel case, leather camera sleeve, un-used close up kit in the case, and two of the four software disks. has batteries in it and it works :) gonna pull the batteries and tuck it away, one day I'll have the PB180 up and running so I can use the...
