And the weird thing is that the LC 475 and Q605 came out 5 days later on 10/21/93.

Pretty sure the same was the case with the one I had, since it did work just fine in the G4 DA I owned previously. It had the normal four pin AMP Molex connector to plug into one of the extra hard drive power connectors coming off the power supply.

Was the machine working fine previously? When I upgraded mine from the stock Rage 128 Pro to the Radeon 9000 it currently has, I pretty much had to do nothing to get it working. It almost sounds like your mouse somehow isn't connected. Does the cursor move with it when the video signal is...

My nVidia experience with pre-2009 hardware hasn't been that great. My original G4 DA 533 had a nVidia card in it that died spectacularly within a month of purchase in 2009. Wound up picking up my second G4 DA (a 466), which had an ATi Rage 128 Pro in it. Took the hard drive from the 533...

Do you need OS 9 acceleration? Then, a Radeon 9000 is going to be your best bet. If only OS X acceleration is needed, then one of the more modern cards used in the FW800 MDD and G5 series Macs would work, provided an external power source is used for the card (as in connecting it to the power...

The middle G4 can take a Jaz drive... Has the correct bezel for one.

Nothing wrong with having the disks for 6.0.8, even if the hard drive currently works.

Looks about right.

Just checked my 950. Key code is 002. @Unknown_K as long as the key switch is in the "I" position, the keyboard's power key works, so only time someone would need to jumper it is if the lock is in the "O" position, or locked. 99-100% of the Q9x0 machines I see on the 'bay that are missing...

Drive is slimmer, but, IIRC, the bracket is the same between 128, 512, and Plus...

^A slight oddity about the Q800 board. If power LED is added, it identifies itself as a Q650 board. If the power LED is not present, then it identifies itself as a Q800 board. Noticed that about a Centris 650 that I upgraded with an 800 board in 2014. Before the LED was added, it said it was...

Yes. Only the front bezel, CRT, chassis, and analog board are reused. The board and bucket are replaced with Plus parts.

Same thing happened with the one that I got in the September 2012 conquest. I think I was the first person to fire it up since before the previous owner added it to his collection. He thought it was still a 128k.

That's weird. That said, since the Quadra 630 (and its derivatives) seems to not have 24-bit addressing mode available, there's no real reason to run it on anything older than 7.6 anyway.

And, if all that doesn't help, start looking for extension conflicts. Possible that stuff like the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler might not be playing nice with the PC Setup control panel.

I've also had better luck with ATi cards than the nVidia cards, both on Mac and PC systems. The nVidia card in my original G4 Digital Audio failed within a month of my getting the computer. Bought my second G4 DA off of craigslist, then combined the two into one machine that I then used for...

I've had two that were originally equipped as such. One was like @sstaylor's where there was no hard drive installed. My current machine had an aftermarket drive bracket installed and has a 160MB hard drive on top of the second FDHD drive. When I got it, it had one of those 52MB Quantum...

Basically, the CircuitTalk is a recreation of the old Griffin gPort. Still need to get one for my G4. Re: monitor, you could probably stuff the 17" Studio Display sideways to get it out of the way when not needed.

Agree with @joshc about 90%. The 10% is the fact that the M0100 mouse is more comfortable than the ADB mice for my hands. Been thinking about modifying a M0100 so it works as an ADB mouse. The SE is just a better machine than the Plus. Part of the reason why I wished I'd started out my Mac...
