I might have a spare fbt in one of my parts machines but as parts machines they could be bad too. I have four working aios and three or four parts machines to keep them good.

I've never used the company but if you get it from them make sure to post about it because I could use one too hahaha

In addition to the enclosure, power cable, and 25-50 SCSI cable, you will need a terminator like this one http://m.ebay.com/itm/SCSI-TERMINATOR-50-PIN-CENTRONICS-MALE-FEMALE-PASS-THROUGH-PASSIVE-SCSI-1-/281780390113?nav=SEARCH

Most of those all just use a standard computer power cable, same as pretty much any tower/monitor etc. And looking at those enclosures that's what it would be.

Yes generally most enclosures used the centronics 50 port so you would need db25 to that.. And also you usually need some sort of terminator on the enclosure and you should be all set.

Yeah I wasn't going for asthetics in that post, if I were I would have posted this one http://m.ebay.com/itm/291554173349 Which happens to be the case I prefer but they a lot of times go for a high price on eBay.

Just grab something like this http://m.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-APS-External-SCSI-Hard-Drive-APPLE-MACINTOSH-/151788396659?nav=SEARCH Then you could use either a old 50 pin drive in it or a newer drive with proper adapters in it etc. Or as another possibility you could just use external SCSI Zip...

I'm assuming from what you posted that you are connecting a parallel printer to the SCSI port on the quadra which will not work at all and will cause your boot problems. As a possible solution (however I have not checked into this printer to know for sure) would be to get a jet direct print...

I also remember that I had trouble getting everything working until I updated my mactcp on the older computer, the version that came with is 7 just was not working but somewhere I found update for just the mactcp.

I set this up without having the apple Internet software by using locatalk bridge and Also a commercial program called ipnetrouter. Setup was a little troublesome but once it was working I had TCP/IP over LocalTalk no problem.

At work I use ms office on my quadra 650 and then I run an ftp server on my cell phone to easily upload the files from the quadra and then download them onto windows 7 pc that I have to use. And just as FYI I have no problem directly going from word version 5 I believe in the Mac to current...

Well I just checked for 5v standby and get nothing so I was thinking about doing this atx hack http://damntechnology.blogspot.com/2009/02/rebuilding-powermac-g5-power-supply.html?m=1 Anyone ever try it here?

Well thanks for the information. Figured I will still pull out the multimeter tomorrow and check the power supply but if that's not the problem then I guess see what I can throw in the case.

I thought these only had the ram slot problems after the board had been over flexed. This still has the stock amount of ram512mb.

So found this computer in the neighbors garbage today only thing missing is hdd. However when I plug it in and press power button I get nothing. This is my first time touching one of these so not sure where to start. I did try resetting the pmu with no change.

Just wondering how this project is going, hadn't seen anything about it in a while.

I have enough for setting up 10-15 machines but would need at least double that to have a set for each.

I still would like to get one of these. I have the TV and I finally found an LC580 but the screen just isn't the same on the 580.

posting their Mac TVs I figured I would post mine too. I have been waiting to have a more complete setup and yes that is design keyboard from Europe and not proper keyboard but it's the best I can find to match. On that note anyone have a spare black Apple mouse :)

I mean sure there are other solutions; in fact what I have been doing to move files back and forth is run an ftp server on my iPhone that both work computer and my quadra are able to access but it isn't very convienent. It would be nice to just throw a pile of files on Zip disk Pop it out and...
