Oh yes please post it when you can. Not that I’ll have a chance to do any repairs to the monitors any time soon, but it’ll be nice to have! Well Done for finding it, and getting a working one!

A lovely person has gifted me a nearly pristine trash can Mac Pro for my collection. It’s a fairly high spec model, 3.7ghz CPU, D500 GPU, 1TB stock SSD and I think it was 512GB of RAM. I’m not sure if it had the GPU repair done or not, but I’m guessing not. Either way it’s beautiful.. even...

Oh fantastic! I have 2 dead international models that I’ve not even attempted to look at yet, mainly because I hadn’t found a list of components to order for it! Much appreciated!

I have one of these… ironically I don’t have a Classic II!

Oh perfect.. I’ve been meaning to do this for both of my TAMs! Did you also do the main machine?

Well that depends.. if it’s currently running 10.0.0 and they end up with a MDD they’ll need at least.. 10.2? So the combi update won’t work in that situation.

It’ll depend on the version of OSX but even if it doesn’t likely an upgrade to a slightly newer version will work, although make sure the drum scanner software works with that.. scanners are notoriously bad for driver updates

It depends on what model you move the hard disk into, and what OS it’s running. If it’s an identical model, or one that can run the OS that’s currently installed, then you’ll be able to just switch the HDs around. If you upgrade it to a newer model, you’ll still be able to switch the hard...

That's an awesome idea. Also maybe occasionally cuts itself? 😅

Just fyi taking off the plastic shell is actually very easy in these, it basically breaks apart into 3 parts with about 6 screws. The computer itself is mostly enclosed in a metal shell so if the plastic is carefully removed the shell will be fairly robust

Very cool!

Very cool!

That’d just put all the weight on the fascia though.. 😅

That's the one! I tried it a while ago and it was really nifty, then just couldn't remember what it was I'd been using. I have plans to one day get the waybackmachine functionality integrated into my Home Automation controller (Indigo Domotics) so I can set a date from a control page.. which I...

What one did you get?

Well that’s fair! I have two piSCSIs that I use, and quite a few BlueSCSI and other similar devices.. I particularly love the piSCSIs for the web interface for loading images, so I keep one in a 7100 I use as a vintage file server.. so that coupled with all the other things that @mactjaap ’s...

I had no idea that’d happened.. can you tell us why? Also +1 on including piSCSI. I’ve got it installed on mine, and whilst it was easy to install it’s just another one of those faffy things that’d be awesome to be just included with a “do it all” image. I believe MacProxy was also being...

Awesome! Don’t worry about it at the moment.. it was more just a suggestion for the future! I’m wondering, when there is a future update is there any way to update the existing install or does it require reimaging the system?

I'll have a crack at that. I feel like it's something within my capabilities.. so expect a message from me later all very confused.. :D That I don't know how to do.. could you give more information on how, and what the benefits of that would be?

I've been using this the last couple of weeks and it's been *amazing*, thank you so much for your hard work. One wee thing I'd like to suggest for a future update, on first login would it be possible for your script to ask the user to define the hostname, then update the script based on that...
