    PowerMac G4!

    If these are generic and widely available, post a picture. I seem to have little luck with the adapters i got so far. Bought a stack of 32GB Sandisk SATA SSDs a few years back and i would love to see them used in some IDE machines.

    Liberated a Quadra475 for 90€ in Germany

    Got the 475, it looks good: I didn't see any problems with the caps on the logic board so far. But obviously they will get replaced anyway: The battery was fine, it expired 21 years ago. It's a brsnd i never saw before, "Hawker Eternacell", likely an aftermarket replacement. There are 1.2V...

    Liberated a Quadra475 for 90€ in Germany

    I may have a broken Q650 board somehwere, the CPU with FPU should fit the 475 socket.

    Liberated a Quadra475 for 90€ in Germany

    I liberated a Quadra475 for 90€ incl shipping in Germany yesterday. Got it on Ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/375247703789 The seller says it looks clean from the inside, but doesn't do anything when turned on. I guess caps have leaked on the logic board and PSU, as is tradition. I'll deliver...

    Making a VNC server for A/UX

    I'll allow it, my dude. 🥴 If i remember this right, you have two kinds of session One is X11 (10R3 based on the MIT release 10R3 and 11R3?) in which you can run any X11 client you want to, but you can not run MacOS applications. Your first X client would be twm or some other window manager...

    Making a VNC server for A/UX

    BTW, are kernel modules loaded dynamically or do you have to reconfigure and reboot all the time?:unsure:

    Making a VNC server for A/UX

    How fast would this be on a 68030? Have you replaced compute intensive stuff with assembler or is this not how it works, and the c libs are optimized as good as it gets? Do you use the systems c libs or something from GNU? What compiler did you use? Why is there no cat food with mouse flavour...

    Suitable fan for SE?

    How did you ensure flow rate is in the same ballpark? Usually the Noctuas spin slower and thus have less flow and thus are less loud.

    Looks nice indeed. Great monitor as well. I personally would update to 8.1, it doesn't cost much more resources.

    Mac SE PSU (Sony CR44M) recap success story

    That's what i thought you did :unsure: . Did you just recap the PSU? What about the logic board then, did you recap that? I think it's wise to recap everything, i even found a small electrlytic cap in a mouse that could ruin my day.

    Mac SE PSU (Sony CR44M) recap success story

    Well done. My SE/30 is wobbly as well, i should finally order the parts and get it done. Well, soon. 😅

    AppleDesign powered speakers grille removal.

    I never had any rust or other activity on metal. I think i would simply risk it, they are probably glued in.

    Guide or recommendations for 8.0/8.1?

    At this point it's fair to say any electrolytic capacitor is perfectly capable in ruining your day.:oops: Are there some kind of leak proof caps except ceramics/tantalum/polyprop with larger capacitance?:unsure:

    Guide or recommendations for 8.0/8.1?

    For me it's 6.0.8 on anything Classic or smaller. 7.1 if there is a chance for A/UX, dual boot 8.1 if possible. Everything newer than 8.1? See pic:
