Yep gonna try making the cable myself. I cant wait to get home and try some basic stuff!

I am hereby requesting any and all suggestions for possible fun!!! First up is getting things rolling with ADTpro!

After years of trying to track one down in my price range I have finally managed to get a hold of one of these little guys. So now I have to get rid of things to maintain the harmony and order of my room. Look out for a post soon regarding cheap as free odds and sodds.

Hey Halpin, Sorry for the late reply to your PM's, but I figured it would help if I responded here. I have not had much luck with my other brands of CF cards so I can't really comment as to the standard formatting process. It would appear thatthis little guy is the sweet spot for my uses...

Has anyone been successfully prosecuted for theft of garbage ever? Actually asking, not trying to socratically prove a point.

Hmm. Okay I will try maybe getting another card of the same brand and attempting formatting again. I have this feeling its just the card.

Hey all! Preface: I had a Powerbook 5300c with a cracked screen, Beachycove gave me a 5300c with a dislodged power socket. With the magic of screwdrivers, solder and take apart guides I now have a (mostly functional) Powerbook 5300c that is an amalgam of the two! Thanks to this process I had...

I am MAD jelly. We ever gonna hang out and recap some macs?

Congrats Fairchild! That powermac is dreamy.

This dudes been posting this all over Reddit the past few days. Pretty neat! http://www.insentricity.com/a.cl/198/PowerMacHack

I don't want to get a whole new topic started, so at the risk of thread-jacking; while we're on the topic of pre-osX pcmcia solutions; An Orinoco WaveLan card in my Powerbook 5300c running system 7-8 - Possible?

No I never got this to work. Its still sitting in my room. I'd like to take another crack at it, but it was pretty frustrating trying to figure it all out. A simple checklist would be ideal. -Do this -Then this -Then this. sorta like that. I realize I'm lazy, but its hard to jump head...

I couldn't stand the old video card anymore. Ripped it out and just for shiz and gigs I put in my gt-240 from my old dell. Black screen at startup, but I could hear it churning away. Finally it loaded up to the login screen and now everything seems great. I get about the same performance but...

I really liked my ibook g4 when I had it, but like you said classic; the gpu and logic board ball-solder thing was a PITA to fix. I see these guys all over the place, and have had them offered, but I stay clear now. Its too bad cause they are really neat, I think! Enjoy em!

Ended up getting 10.4 running! (thanks to help from CC_333!) Tried to remedy the graphics card spooling, but alas it continues. Its alright, I can deal with it. I have it triple booting Windows, X.7, X.4. Things are great. I have a spare video card from my windows desktop. Is it possible to...

YES! I love that Tempest SE/30! Best part of Watchmen.

Stuff thats boring: People trying to tell other people what to do with THEIR property. Stuff that's awesome: The things I am learning from this thread and those like it. I'm not in any hurry to hack up my macs, but I sure am grateful someone is.

ON THE TOPIC OF THERMAL PASTE / PADS: I am going to do some basic maintenance to Galactica tonight. One of the things I want to address is the constant spooling up and down of my GPU fan. If I scroll down a webpage quickly I hear it start to spin up "WhiiiiirrrRRRRRRRR" and then very quickly...

Just a quick shot. She's working well. Thanks to the council of CC_333 I will be doing some light restoration to it. I've christened her "Galactica".

That nextstation is super sweet looking... I want one. Hey sorry if you've answered this but I'm just wondering; do you tend to keep most of the stuff you acquire in working order, or shelve it for long term storage and display, or some third option I'm too drunk to currently identify? I...
