My 9600 seems to have bit the dust. I pulled it off the shelf and set it up after about a year's hiatus. It booted right away, but to an OSX boot screen (grey apple). I had tried installing OSX with XPostFacto before putting it away. I was unsuccessful in doing so. It hung at the grey...

The tag on the machine in question specifically says "DP450, blah, blah, blah, gigabit ethernet, etc" it has the power passthrough exposed. The tag has not been messed with either. I had first thought that someone had simply swapped out the motherboard for an earlier one, but the PS wouldn't...

Okay, question for you then. Does your DP 450 have one or two power sockets on the back of the case? If the Digital Audio and Gigabit ethernet models share a power supply, then why is the Digital Audio one have two sockets and the (now known as the G4 AGP in a Gigi case) have one? If this...

Well, the PS is definitely fried on the DA. I pulled it out and apart and there is a burned trace and pin on the bottom of the circuit board in the PS. This one doesn't seem to have a replaceable fuse at all. At least, nothing that can be replaced without soldering stuff.

Yeah, I was going off the fact that this motherboard didn't have the power connector for the AGP slot. Now that I know that its the wrong motherboard, I see my error. Though my question still remains:

Damn, it appears that this machine isn't what it is suppose to be. The "DP 450" on the back of the case really means "SP 400" and its a PM G4 AGP Graphics. Grr. Someone must have swapped out some parts at one time or another. Double grrr. Anyway, my question still remains. How can I bench...

The power supplies are different, because the DP 450 doesn't have the ADC power connector on the motherboard, therefore it wouldn't have the power lead for it.

The DP 450 is booting. The power switch is bad, so I have to boot it with a old USB keyboard that has a power button. The DA still won't boot, but I want to try to bypass the power button to see if it has the same issue. I tried the keyboard already, but IIRC, the later G4's couldn't be...

My awesome friend is giving me a pair of G4 towers today. He got them from a college near where he lives. The one is a DP 450, the other a single 466. I have to work on them because neither boot currently. The tech at the school said they both have blow power supplies, so I'll start there...

What are the specs? You may have issues with the RAM on that machine because of the type of RAM it uses. IIRC, it uses the low density chips, and won't read the newer ones. I had to do some creative swapping with mine to get it to accept the RAM. I think the Wallstreet II was the best G3...

Yeah, its not the place to be right now. We currently have 15 degrees with about a 35 mph wind. Brrrrrrrr... Cuts right through ya.

We are at about 8 cents per kWh. It was 6, but it went up about two years ago.

Nope, we just milk cows. The cheese plant does that.

Jeebus blackcube! Our power bill for the entire farm is $900 a month over the winter (it goes down a bit in summer). That's with several 3,5,7,10 + 15 HP motors running plus the compressor for the bulk milk tank, plus the water tank heaters (4 @ 1500W each) plus the house, and the shop, and...

No problems here. OS X 10.4.10 Camino 1.0.1 MDD G4 Dual 1.25ghz

I have Journeyman Project III: Legacy of Time. It was a good game and I have been looking for the other ones. Never did find any yet. Good score!

Mine supposedly had a new motherboard put in before I got it. I would hope it would be beyond those troubles, but it could have been sitting around since who knows when, I guess.

I picked up a 1.25ghz eMac off of these boards a while back. Its a nice machine. I mainly use it as an internet radio and I do any scanning I need to do on it. It has the airport card in it, so I can set it anywhere I need the music. Its a nice machine, and I really love the monitor. Much...

I got a Color Classic from my High School a few years back that is also in mint condition. They are nice machines, but the screen is just too small to be very productive on. Then again, I am used to a 23" widescreen LCD panel... ;)

Just picked up a Performa 400 off my BIL's folks on Thursday night. My sister and BIL brought it back with them when they visited his folks in Iowa over the weekend. I haven't had time to fire it up yet, but his mom said that it didn't work because it was asking you to download software for...
