I found another G4 in my collection with a lot more RAM than the one I was trying to upgrade anyway. So I might just out this one on the “maybe later” shelf.
I have a few 4400/7220s as well as a StarMax 3000. I want to be able to use one of them to burn CDs. I have an ATAPI CD-RW drive in a currently dead G4 Gigabit. My other option is a 6500 I have but that is a bit more fiddly to swap out the optical drive. Can any of these be used to burn CDs?
I have a G4 Gigabit Ethernet and accidentally put 5v RAM into two of the slots. It booted however the power light went off after about 3 seconds and then I could smell smoke coming out of the PSU. I unplugged it, removed the RAM and rebooted. Same thing, Power light goes out after 3 seconds and...
This is correct, the Pioneer LX100 is the only legit 68k clone. Pioneer installed LC/Quadra 630 logic boards in them with no mods. All mac diagnostic software sees it as a genuine 630.

After getting the tip regarding the GIMO port loopback decided to dig a little deeper and have found the issue.😢
After cleaning it still oddest work. I think the socket itself is stuffed. I will transfer the whole DOS setup over to another LC630 I have and see if I can get the loopback board...
I have been trying to get the DOS side of my LC630 going. I have the PC Set control panel set and it sees the DOS card. When I restart the card I get the startup beep. However when I switch to the DOS side there is no video. I have tried fixed resolution monitors and multi scan monitors but I...
From my experience you also need to choose the slowest write speed you can. I find any disc written above 4x rarely works when I try it in an old Mac. My current Mac Studio with Apple external SuperDrive doesn’t give me a speed option (it is greyed out at “Maximum” which is about 20x). Most...
Thanks for all the solutions. IDE-SD, Floppy EMU and slower CD burn. I will hopefully give these solutions a go on the weekend. I need to find a machine with a working CD and floppy drive first so I can work out why everything is failing.
