I got a little curious and got out my watt meter. With a 2009 Mac Mini and a 110 watt power supply I watched while the Mini booted. It was mostly a lot lower but there were some peaks at 40 watts. While running it varied from 14 to 30 watts  depending on what I was doing. I thought that maybe...

I have an intel and a G4 Mac Mini that I only pull out occasionally but for the last few years I've only used a 110w power supply with both.

Another option is an ide to CF adapter. I've been running a G4 MDD off one for a few years.

I see the connector pinout everywhere but can't seem to find an ADB mouse wiring diagram. For any ADB mouse

The 1982 is the copyright date, yours was made in the 39th week of 1984

I'd have to look for them to be sure but that looks like what I recall seeing on a couple of IIgs.

I didn't see one, does the processor have a heat sink?

The conversion circuit board pictured is from a mouse with 1 screw holding it together. I poped open the half dozen I had handy and found 2 different circuit boards. Neither was the one pictured. Have more in storage but don't really have time to look for them ightnow

The G3 is an unsupported Mac with 10.5 but lots of people have run it on B&Ws.

The Syquest drives probably worked with any computer that had SCSI so the disk could be in a number of formats. I used Syquest drives quite a bit with the Apple II so a lot of my disks are in ProDOS format. I liked Syquest and collected quite a few. Never had a disk fail on me. Wish I could say...

The Mac Mini won't run OS9. The only way you can run an OS9 app on a mini is under classic

It doesn't matter how well the room is insulated. If there are no windows or openings then all the light is absorbed by the walls so either way 100%  of the wattage used by the bulb ends up ad heat.

Sonnet seems to think their card works with a G5. Why not check with them?

There's probably lots of cards that work with your G5 but just have not been tested with one. I don't have a PCIe G5 but I read once that a Sonnet Tempo SSD on a card would work with your machine. Maybe  one of their eSATA cards will also work. I have a number of PCIe cards. Wish I had a PCIe...

If I had a second one it might get interesting. I've got a Lacie eSATA hub.

I have a PCIe expansion box that would hold up to 19 cards but it has very few installed. There’s some large noisy fans in it. I’m thinking that with only a few cards I don’t need anything like that amount of cooling. Unfortunately I can’t see any way to unplug one and if I clip the wire it’ll...

A while ago I picked up a Lacie S2S 5 drive RAID array. It was originally meant to connect to a Lacie eSATA card but worked well with a USB 3.0 adapter. Unfortunately 2.5tb was way too small to be useful. At the time I had some 1tb drives and upgraded to 5tb, still a little small. Just yesterday...

Actually, in an enclosed windowless space your light bulb is 100% efficient as a heater. All the light that's absorbed by the walls also becomes heat. Almost everything that uses electricity eventually turns it into heat

Check that it also has an Apple Partition Map. You can have Mac OS extended format on a disk with Master Boot Record or GUID partition map. I did that a couple of times and was able to install an OS but ran into issues at boot time
