As a suggestion to keep you busy, try the CD-ROMs that came mounted on magazines from this period: MacAddict, MacFormat and so on. I do have Choosier somewhere in my stash. If I can find it and if it is later than version 1.0, I'll let you know.

Thank you sir! I shall try this out when I next have to open them up for some reason or another.

@trag How can you get the case back on without leaving a little gap in the back above the white plastic bezel?

It's nice to see this. It's from a Swiss auction (link below). https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/macintosh-128k-m0001-p-avec-boites-et-accessoires-1265234488/

It did, didn't it? And I was sure that that was the case. Oh, and I got the name wrong above. I'm getting MDD (Mirror'd Door Drive) with MTT (MikeTomTom — admin at macintoshgarden.org) mixed up. It is MTT's version of the Mac Mini G4 SSW 9.2.2 installer [1] and I want to try it out and see if...

Well done! The Sonnet 997MHz card is fast. While I had mine, I played Deus Ex on my B&W G4 and it ran very smoothly. Did it slow down your system bus to 66MHz (from 100MHz)? Mine did but then I didn't really notice it. If you want to go down the RAID route, you might consider the Formac ProRAID...

I have good news. I opened up a pristine Mac Mini G4 for comparison and noticed that the fan differed in rotation by 180°. The fan was otherwise in the right way. I also replaced the CW8124 with an UJ845 (giving the Mac Mini the ability to burn DVDs). I turned the Mac Mini G4 on and it ran...

Such a pity. And a word of defence for these much maligned batteries: they were great batteries in their day. They were just never designed to last 34 years. A Mac dealer back in the early '90s told me that 7 years' useful life is what you could expect out of a Macintosh then and this is what...

These are good points everyone. I can try install Mac OS X, if I can boot from an external FW drive and then check the heat sensors. The fan is a very good point. I may very well have screwed it in the wrong way around. It would explain the constant fan and the machine turning off because it...

I replaced the HD on one of my rev. 1 Mac Mini G4s. I put in an mSATA card with an IDE-adapter and set the jumper on it to slave. I have put mSATA cards into 2 previous Mas Mini G4s and these run well. Now the fan is loud, it is continually on and it shuts down after 10 minutes. What was...

FirmTek/SeriTek are only really valuable when they can be used under SSW7-9. That being said, if you can get one at a reasonable price, then get one, they make good cards. I just wouldn't spend megabucks on a Mac OS X-only card when cards from other manufacturers might be cheaper, offer more...

Does this card require drivers to be installed?

I have two MDDs with broken PSUs in my wardrobe and I am in Europe. If you have no other luck, I might be persuaded to send you one of these.

(Apologies if there is already another thread on this topic. A quick search didn't reveal any...) Apple's Macintosh 128K on a Pi Pico gets thumbs-up from Upton Just because you could definitely means you should Richard Speed Tue 18 Jun 2024 // 09:30 UTC...

Is the sound coming out a 1990's Mac so good that one can tell the difference?

NICs are best use for the PDS slot in almost all Macs that have no other expansion slots. You can now access a file server easily via EtherTalk. Make a LAN, connect a fast G4 to it and use that to download software from the Macintosh Garden for the SE/30. I made up an Excel document [1] some...

A few late, high-end supported 1600x1200 but none went higher as far as I know. Is this the first time a 68K machine has supported 1920x1080?
