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!
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!
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.
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.
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?)...
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...
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.
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.
