    Mac Pro... not sure if want.

    If you don't have an Intel Mac, by all means go for it. I know I would! I would go for it, even if I didn't need it.

    eMac G4 (smokey)

    Eww... oh my gosh that is disgusting. Just imagine that 50x thicker in the walls of your lungs. I'm glad I don't smoke!

    Thirteen Sonnet L2 Cache-slot Upgrades

    X2... I'd love to have one. I haven't found any lately.

    Source for PRAM batteries?

    4 on OWC is $17.71 with $1.75 shipping to my zip, 44001.

    Possible NeXT conquest....

    *Sob sob* I didn't get it. The seller had a MUCH larger offer than the $20 he was asking, and he sold it to them. :(

    Possible NeXT conquest....

    It's a first generation model, if I'm not mistaken. Here's a picture of the actual setup -

    Possible NeXT conquest....

    I am so pumped! I found a complete NeXT setup sans the monitor cable for $20. I am second in line to buy it. I am hoping the first buyer falls through... Wish me luck!

    An MDD of my very own!

    My MDD still runs great to this day. It has the 400w ACBel power supply, along with 2 80GB HDs, an nVidia FX5200 video card, Adaptec SCSI card, upgraded fan and a USB 2.0 card. No hiccups whatsoever. I love it!

    Thirteen Sonnet L2 Cache-slot Upgrades

    Gonna bump this... have you considered selling some of these yet? A friend of mine may want to buy one. I might as well.

    4 GB Of RAM In A PowerMac G4 MDD?

    That was probably me. I currently have 2 x 1GB modules in my MDD, and they do show up as 1GB a piece. I tried multiple combinations of modules and it refused to show more than 2GB.

    Thirteen Sonnet L2 Cache-slot Upgrades

    Do they all work? I need one for my 5500/250! EDIT - Just saw that you haven't tested them yet.

    OS 9.2.2 Update?

    Ok... it worked. First time the 9.2.2 download via Update has worked in a while. Usually it gives an error or it doesn't even show up.

    OS 9.2.2 Update?

    Hmm... well it seems to be downloading 9.2.2. Hopefully it works.

    OS 9.2.2 Update?

    Anyone know where I can find the 9.2.2 update legally? Software Update in 9.2.1 no longer works, and everything on Apple's site leads to a dead end.

    iMac G4 - ethernet port dead

    It shows up, but I don't plan on pulling it back apart. I just took it apart and cleaned it. I also used the last of my Arctic silver 5, so I don't have any more of that. I don't mind using the AirPort card.

    iMac G4 - ethernet port dead

    I can't get it to work in OS 9, either. Oh well, looks like I'm snagging an AirPort card off eBay (Unless someone here has one for $6.89 shipped or cheaper?)...

    iMac G4 - ethernet port dead

    Ok, so I bought the iMac knowing that the ethernet port wasn't working. I looked at the pins and all of them are fine. I've already reset the PMU and the NVRAM with no luck. I did a Google search, and some people got lucky when they reset their PMU and NVRAM. Me? Not so lucky. Any help would be...

    ID'ing iMac G4?

    Ok... well this sucks! Apparently the iMac G4 is just like the MDD... it needs a special CD to install OS 9. I found out that it will NOT install anything below 9.2.2, since that is what came with the computer. Now I know why it hangs up with the 9.2.1 CD.

    ID'ing iMac G4?

    Ok, for some reason, it's not letting me install OS 9. It will boot the CD, but after the "Starting Up" box, it hangs at just a desktop with a blank menu bar and no mouse pointer. I think it may be my original CD, so I am going to image the disc and try again.

    ID'ing iMac G4?

    That sucks! I'm glad I don't have to search for the special CD. It just got done installing 9.2.1.
