Yeah, I don't think I explained myself to him well enough at 6:30AM yesterday. ;) There is more on the floppy drive cable issues here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19242&p=181869&hilit=400k+cable#p181869

Also take note of how your G4 AGP slot is keyed and how the donor card is keyed.

The early G5s were PCI-x and had AGP video cards. No, they don't work in G4s because they are keyed the opposite way.

The only reason I think you're nuts is that I tested it in a 512k chassis with a 400k drive and original cable and it was good to go. I guess it's not entirely inconceivable that something could have gone bad in the mean time. I do know my 400k Macs (128k and 512k) are some of the pickiest I've...

He didn't keep that - you have it.

The first clear prototypes I know of were for the SE. As I understand, it was clear to check air flow through the case. Jobs was long gone by the time the SE was out. It also had things Jobs hated: a fan and cursor keys.

Jobs? Jobs didn't really have any affinity for old things. His attitude was that they were junk compared to the new stuff so why would you want to keep it? One of the first things he did upon returning to Apple was to donate the Apple museum pieces to Stanford.

But you better not move that jumper, OOM - then you'd be stealing something you didn't pay for.

Oh, man. You caught me OnlyOneMac. I'm a bad boy. I'm filled with guilt about replacing broken parts with less-expensive counterparts.

I put it out here that it was working fine in a 400K drive chassis after I had finished work on it. FWIW, I would still be looking at your floppy hardware.

Speaking of Star Wars laserdiscs, a long time ago I was known as Dr.Gozno on the internets.

I have replaced half the chips on the board with no change. Coincidentally, I did not swap the ROMs. I have another 128 K/512 K ROM set I could stick in there for giggles.

Very nice and an even better price!

There is nothing there that looks too bad to me, Gil. Most of that is nasty dust stuck to the electrolyte. I con't see any dark-colored traces that would indicate they are rotten.

Do you need one of those? I have one in the scrap box here.

No highs? No lows? Must be Bose.

The there a weirdos like me who like to have the original install disks for our machines to set it up with a "fresh out of the box" experience.

I love my Indigo. I think it's the milky-white plastics I like more than the icy, non-firewire models.

PM me.

I'm sure the pinouts are different
