Hello. The model I have is the Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet. Originally, it had a single-core 1.33GHz CPU, but I wanted to upgrade to a dual CPU. So, I bought a DP 1.0GHz module from a Quicksilver, and I heard that by changing the resistor values, it could be overclocked to 1.2GHz or 1.33GHz. I...

Hi guys. After several attempts, I’ve finally managed to resolve the wireless mouse issue on Mac OS 9. It’s not 100% perfect, but it works reliably. From what I’ve discovered, even though newer wireless mouse receivers appear to be recognized correctly in System Profiler when plugged into a USB...

Based on my own experience and feedback from others, it seems that wireless mouse compatibility is a known issue on Mac OS 9. There’s one common factor that stands out, these devices are "USB Composite Devices". That means a single USB receiver dongle includes multiple components such as a...

My Power Mac G4 is currently equipped with an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. However, I wasn't satisfied with it and started looking into the GeForce4 Ti 4600, but it turned out to be really hard to find. Then I discovered that the Quadro4 900 XGL is actually identical to the GeForce4 Ti 4600. What’s...

I posted yesterday, but it turns out I made a mistake. When I connected the USB receiver to the NEC USB card, it was only recognized as a "usbcompositedevice." As you can see in the first picture (my apologies for the Korean text), I then connected the receiver directly to the USB port on the...

I purchased UGREEN's 2.4GHz wireless mouse and I plugged the USB receiver into my Power Mac G4 and booted it up. The mouse worked fine on the initial boot screen, during the few seconds when the Mac OS 9 logo appears, in Mac OS X, and even on the startup disk selection screen when holding down...

Hello, I recently replaced the logic board of my Power Mac G4, but it won't even power on. The original model I was using was an AGP G4 with a 400MHz CPU. Since the board was faulty, I decided to purchase a logic board for the Gigabit model, considering a future CPU upgrade. The original...

My Power Mac is https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_400_agp.html. It is fine with original card “rage 128”, I upgraded card to “ATI 9000 Pro for Mac”, but after that, always freezes after boot. Here is picture. I can’t do anything, but I can move mouse cursor. Do...

I really want to use sata ssd but I've tried this almost 2 months, still doesn't work. And I tested and I found that every hard drive is working perfectly and smooth. But ssd? I think that is the problem. I installed Samsung 860 EVO 256GB and Samsung OEM 128GB ssd, but os 9 or os x can't...

My mac is in trouble for booting. Os version is 9.2.2 and rom version is 9.0.1. And I'm using seritek 1s2 card with two ssd, but I can't install os 9 or os x, either. After booting with installer cd, always freeze in install. And I can install os to "HDD", it works, but after booting, always...
