I have a Powermac G5 2.0Ghz DP (Mid 2004) that I'd like to start using. From what I have seen online, these things seem to die at astonishing rate, mostly from heat-death. I don't really know what it will be used for as of yet, probably gaming. It is my PPC Mac OS X machine. It stands in a...

I have an X850 Pro AGP card that I intend flashing for my G5 2.0DP. @dosdude1 (of this parish) made an excellent video [1] and the process seems straightforward enough. Now, the EEPROM on the X850 Pro, it seems, is 64K and the X850 XT ROM for it is 128K. In the video, he replaces the EEPROM with...

There is no reason to post this other than to say, how nice it is to see a Macintosh SE with a working full page display. And it is being offered at a non-unreasonable price. And it works too. I'd offer to help buyers abroad buy it but how would I ship it? Maybe one of the Swiss members will...

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/

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...

(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...

There is an auction (for want of a better word) in Switzerland for a PowerBook PCMCIA Expansion Module (rev. C, I think) and it comes with a free working PowerBook 540c, cables & charger. At CHF 600 (roughly USD 660), it is much too pricey for my liking but there may be some collectors who find...

To go with my 1985 system, which at the moment is a 512K, a LaserWriter Plus waiting to be fixed and MacWrite on 400K floppy, I present what I think v1.2 of Aldus PageMaker. These last two pictures are of a Macally 6-port FireWire card. I had never seen one before and bought it immediately...

I have a feeling that I have posted this request before and apologies if I have. Does anyone here have the driver for the Unity Digital FireWire CompactFlash Reader for Mac OS 9 or below? I've found the download page on archive.org but it redirects to a 302 page. I would appreciate it greatly...

There is a Mac Pro going cheaply near me and it has two cards (which I assume are sound processing cards of some kind). And while I don't need another Mac Pro, it might be worth getting for the cards alone. What cards are these and what do they do? Thanks.

There is surely somebody here to would love this and then be dismayed that it is nowhere near them. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/bretford_mobility_cart_20_for_macbook_and_ipad_tx322zm-a/version.asp It is actually on offer in Switzerland (for those 10 of us who happen to live within a 4 hour...

I feel as if I have asked this question before and apologies if I have. I'm setting up a Black & White G4 (that is, a PM G4 with the white case plastics from a Blue & White G3) as a gaming machine for turn-of-the-millennium games (and a bit beyond that too). I have 3 G4s * that I can use: 1x...

The English/Indian publishing house Packt make one of their eBooks freeky available every weekday. Today (Wednesday, Nov. 22) there is a book on Mastering macOS Programming from 2017 available. It can't be downloaded (unless you actually buy it) but once you register on the site, you can put the...

I collected a G4 recently and it came with a front display with temperature (and other) information.

This G4 looks to have a 4-port ethernet card in it. I know that Cisco made similar cards but for the Mac? Does anyone know about these cards and are they supported in Mac OS 9?

I picked this up on a local auction site recently. It is a CD from 1989. Isn't it beautifully laid out?

This is in the category: I don't think it is possible but maybe someone has found a way to make it work and can prove me wrong. I have no hands-on experience at all of Thunderbolt but I have seen Thunderbolt to FW800 adapters on sale. My limited knowledge of Thunderbolt is that it is...

This is a cross thread to the rest of a collection that I got a collector in Geneva. The software is in French or German or English and there is a lot of iBook software & packaging. The link is here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/good-homes-wanted.45171/ If there is anything that you...

This thing is bad news. I don't need it. It will consume probably far too much electricity. It will be loud. It will far too big for my wants (my needs have ĺong been met). But I wants it, my Precious. It has SATA to SCSI. I could put in 16x SSDs and have a wonderful RAID-10 system for my B&W...

What's the reason that a CPU from an MDD won't work in a Quicksilver or other G4? • Bus speed: 133MHz vs 167MHz? • Difference/incompatibility in the ROM? • Physical size: MDD card & heatsink won't fit? • Power draw: the power draw of dual 7455s is too much for the QS PSU? Or are there...
