We had one of these at my last job, they're a real piece of shit. Unbelievably slow, unbelievably expensive t o replace that little carbon fiber spool, they just kinda suck to live with. Yes the parts are somewhat stronger than traditional chopped carbon fiber filaments, but these days you get...

Impressive work! Nice spot, it would have taken me ages to notice that little spit of corrosion.

https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/imac-g3-capacitior-list.38247/ check my replies towards the bottom of the thread, in particular the notes I had on the minor inaccuracies of the list. My machine is/was (it's a G4 now) a 400mhz DV, though I had the bisexual PAV board.

I don’t really have any footage of the gameplay uploaded yet, nothing is presentable, but I’ve got a test version of the intro… we’re talking years before release of even the modern computer version. Fortunately nothing I’m doing should be impossible to abstract into code I can port to OS 9...

Extremely helpful, thanks! I'm (incredibly slowly) working on a little game that's very mac-coded, and eventually I'd like to backport it to OS 9, so any tools that help with that, well, help with that!

Quick question I didn't want to make a thread for: Do you need to reinstall OS 9 if you install a G4 to enable AltiVec extensions? I've read conflicting reports. Thanks.

I could take or leave this site, and I'm ambivalent to y'all. (Just rounding out the list of opinions!)

Thanks for linking this, I'll be following the original project.

Actually got it on eBay for about a hunge shipped. Screamin’ deal, all things considered. Also have a NOS analog board for the 5400, too. When I finally got around to testing the 5400 I have it turns out the tube is basically brand new tier already, and Techknight informed me that the new tube...

This is an informational post to confirm for any hopeful future googlers that the tube from a Power Macintosh/Performa 5xxx series swaps directly into a slot loading iMac G3 (at least my early 400mhz DV) with no issues. There’s a dynamic purity/moire coil on the iMac tube that doesn’t exist on...

Thanks! No worries! Thanks for making the list. Saved me a *ton* of time and effort. Anyone else who finds this thread, please note that the digikey list I linked above does have the capacitors annotated both by designator and which board they go on, but still doesn't include the changes from...

Welp, I used this list for my 400mhz Indigo DV. Here's the notes I have: Some of the 16v caps in the list are 25v on my board. All 16v caps in the list can be replaced with 25v to mitigate this issue, there's plenty of space. Analog board: C905 is 560uf instead of the 470 that the list has...

I suppose spite is as good enough a reason to begin an artistic endeavor as any. Probably the only good thing clankers have accomplished recently is driving actual artists to make more art. @MacJunky any chance at a download for the color versions?

I think youtube doesn't like links in comments, or it might be a per channel settings or something. Not sure. I did tell them what to google and who it was by :-) And yeah, that was a thing. Jobs really didn't like the Molar, despite it being a Johnny Ives-pushed design. Whatshisname, the guy...
