The middle G4 can take a Jaz drive... Has the correct bezel for one.

Nothing wrong with having the disks for 6.0.8, even if the hard drive currently works.

Looks about right.

Just checked my 950. Key code is 002. @Unknown_K as long as the key switch is in the "I" position, the keyboard's power key works, so only time someone would need to jumper it is if the lock is in the "O" position, or locked. 99-100% of the Q9x0 machines I see on the 'bay that are missing...

Drive is slimmer, but, IIRC, the bracket is the same between 128, 512, and Plus...

^A slight oddity about the Q800 board. If power LED is added, it identifies itself as a Q650 board. If the power LED is not present, then it identifies itself as a Q800 board. Noticed that about a Centris 650 that I upgraded with an 800 board in 2014. Before the LED was added, it said it was...

Yes. Only the front bezel, CRT, chassis, and analog board are reused. The board and bucket are replaced with Plus parts.

Same thing happened with the one that I got in the September 2012 conquest. I think I was the first person to fire it up since before the previous owner added it to his collection. He thought it was still a 128k.

That's weird. That said, since the Quadra 630 (and its derivatives) seems to not have 24-bit addressing mode available, there's no real reason to run it on anything older than 7.6 anyway.

And, if all that doesn't help, start looking for extension conflicts. Possible that stuff like the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler might not be playing nice with the PC Setup control panel.

I've also had better luck with ATi cards than the nVidia cards, both on Mac and PC systems. The nVidia card in my original G4 Digital Audio failed within a month of my getting the computer. Bought my second G4 DA off of craigslist, then combined the two into one machine that I then used for...

I've had two that were originally equipped as such. One was like @sstaylor's where there was no hard drive installed. My current machine had an aftermarket drive bracket installed and has a 160MB hard drive on top of the second FDHD drive. When I got it, it had one of those 52MB Quantum...

Basically, the CircuitTalk is a recreation of the old Griffin gPort. Still need to get one for my G4. Re: monitor, you could probably stuff the 17" Studio Display sideways to get it out of the way when not needed.

Agree with @joshc about 90%. The 10% is the fact that the M0100 mouse is more comfortable than the ADB mice for my hands. Been thinking about modifying a M0100 so it works as an ADB mouse. The SE is just a better machine than the Plus. Part of the reason why I wished I'd started out my Mac...

Yeah, it came in two different versions. The DVD version seems to be 10.4.6, and the CD version seems to be just plain 10.4.

A 590-0772 active terminator for use with external devices, just to make sure that the IIfx is happy.

^Yup. It'll say either M0001W or M0001E on the serial label underneath the bezel, and just say Macintosh 512k on the back.

Usually, the bucket will just say 512k on it.

Ok, good. That can remain in the computer. Was this the 10.4 install media from the garden? When I reinstalled 10.4 on the G3 last year, I used the four CD set. Didn't get the circle with a slash through it at reboot. It reboots from the hard drive, but may need to have the DVD in the...
