Hi all, Recently replaced the busted (SCSI) CDROM in my Performa 6360 with some NOS Pioneer DVD Rom off of fleabay. Drive detects, I can boot OS 9.0.4 installer from it (it installs OS9 from it no problem), but it won't mount inserted discs after. I can run Apple System Profiler, it "sees" the...

Hi, Had a working 17 inch LCD Studio Display which I move between a Cube and Dual CPU G4.. been working fine for years. Now, if the monitor is connected to either the Cube or the G4 Tower, both computers won't power on. I can hear an electronic "chirp" from the power supply area on the G4 tower...

Hi, picked up a beat up Mini 1.25.. cleaned it up, hooked up to my main PCs monitor under another input.  Runs OS9/10 @ 1920x1080. Obviously the 32mb Radeon isn't going to be able to do games at that resolution.. issue is when I pick something like 1024x768 it's stretching it wide. Since I'm...

Hi, Have a Classic II, going to install 7.5 on it. I sourced one of those Asante Localtalk to Ethernet adapters.. so that gets my Mac talking Appletalk on the network. I have a Pismo running 9.2, I think that'll be able to "see" the Classic and file share.. but is there a way to use this setup...

Hi all, Came into possession of a mint (cosmetically) Classic II. Tried to turn on, combo of vertical lines, garbage, sometimes just a squished horizontal grey screen. Opened 'er up, and sure enough. Bad leaky caps. Removed all of them, have an order in with Digikey. There's 3 that had at...

Hi all, Found a local (to me) battery rebuilder. They're located in London, Ontario. Sent my Pismos battery off, and they got it back to me in a few days. Total cost was $70 (CDN) including return shipping. http://www.chansbattery.ca/ Cheese website, but they were nice enough when I emailed...

Has anyone ever attempted to replace their fading/dying CFL backlight with an LED one? Looks like they can be had for around $10, https://www.ebay.ca/itm/2Pcs-LED-Backlight-Bar-Lamps-Kit-535mm-LCD-Monitor-For-24-Highlight-Replacement/312637746276?hash=item48caa96c64:g:Up0AAOSw8qdc8j6-  From...

Hi, Question for any of those who have done an LCD swap on a Pismo.  Cracked mine open, and it has an "LG LP141XA (D1AP)". I assume I probably have to replace it with the same thing.. but searching FleaBay, I find a few LP141XA's, but they're not "D1AP" models.. does that matter? Will any...

Hey, I can use one of my Voodoo 2's without issue. If I try 2 with the SLI cable, I get nothing. Black screen and I usually have to reboot my Mac. Have tried in a couple of various G4 towers.. same thing. Works under Win98 on a PC though AND if I try each card as separately on MacOS, they work...

Hi all, I abandoned my Cube aspirations and picked up a pristine Sawtooth locally. Factory specs are a G4 400, 256 RAM, 10GB HDD. I ripped most of that out. Tossed in a Sonnet Encore 1ghz, bumped RAM to 1gb, and chucked in an SSD. Also is rocking a Radon 9000 and two Voodoo II's so I can play...

Hello again,  Sorry for (yet) another Cube question. So, the VRM. Important to keep cool, and/or change it if you're going to be adding a bunch of extra components.. e.g. CPU, newer GPU, etc.. For a hobby, I'm having a hard time justifying the $200 for the Stratos one.. not saying it's a bad...

Hey all, I'm confused. Can you generally use a non-Cube Sonnet upgrade in a Cube? I know the dual CPU models require some heat sink modifications.. but do the single? I've seen a few 1.0, 1.2 and I think a 1.6 pop up on eBay.. so I was curious if these could be used in a Cube (with a fan...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to mount a standard IDE laptop DVD (slot load) drive into a Cube? It seems the Cube and the slot-load iMac G3 use a drive that's quite a bit physically larger than your typical laptop slot load drive. I see some old mentions about a guy at Cube Owner who 3D...
