    3D printed floppy protector?

    Are they even needed? Protectors are important for 5.25" floppy drives that have a top and bottom head (read both sides at the same time) to keep the heads aligned during shipping and to keep them from bouncing off each other. 3.5" floppy drives only have one head. Any kind of shock that would...

    8500 caps

    I think the testers also don't do a great job with higher voltage capacitors since they use a 9V battery.

    Beige G3 Desktop: No Power, no light, no fan, no nothing!

    Beige G3 motherboards have a jumper for Apple or ATX power supplies. Check capacitors for leaks also.

    Recommendations for reliable storage?

    I had to wait for a Sonnet firmware update to come out to capture video on their PCI ATA cards because of sync issues 20+ years ago. Moving files and running apps was never a problem but keeping video and audio in sync was a different story. I still have a 18GB native 50 pin SCSI HD on the...

    Recommendations for reliable storage?

    An external SCSI drive or an Iomega Jazz depending on the bitrate. Just depends how much money you want to spend. For Around $112 plus shipping you can buy a Medea VideoRaid on eBay that is SCSI with 4 internal 40+GB IDE drives in hardware RAID that will work find with AVID systems let alone...

    Radeon 9000 Pro AGP Flashing

    Would have to see where my 9000's are, probably in machines.

    That would be cool.

    Is this daystar card i found what i think it is? I didn’t think these existed. I think its brand new.

    There are lines from the card going to the Nubus pins so it is doing something. Considering the RAM works even when the PPC isn't being used some of that must go over the Nubus slot. I don't remember is the cache works without the PPC enabled.

    Radeon 9000 Pro AGP Flashing

    I had fun running an old IBM Xserve 226 with a Nvidia Quadro PCIE card using Windows 2000 advanced server at 1080P. Hunting for the correct compatible card and drivers was fun to get that combination to work. Anyway, I keep a bunch of ATI 9000 AGP cards around just because it makes using OS...

    Any SCSI experts? Need help getting a SCSI scanner to connect to G4.

    I would suggest finding an external SCSI CDROM/CDRW/HD etc. to see if your card and cable work. For all you know that scanner could be toast.

    Finally have most of my macs networked

    I kept a bunch of 16/24 port 10/100 switches for my old machines when they were being dumped as obsolete. Heck I even kept my old coax hub and some cables just in case. I also still have most of a spool of cat5 cable, connectors, and my toolkit to make cables as needed. If you collect more...

    68 pin SIMM sockets found

    Are these the same as the ones on ebay for $20 plus shipping for 15 pcs? https://www.ebay.com/itm/112262269741

    Any SCSI experts? Need help getting a SCSI scanner to connect to G4.

    Termination on 8 bit and 16 bit is a bit different. 8-bit termination is usually passive (just a bunch of resisters) but can be active (uses a bunch of voltage regulators). 8-bit termination works on 8 data lines plus 1 parity, 16 bit termination works on 16 data lines and 2 parity. So using an...

    Any SCSI experts? Need help getting a SCSI scanner to connect to G4.

    You can get a terminator for the DB25 port and not use the internal terminator. USE ID 2,4,5 OR 6 for the scanner SCSI ID. Most likely you just have terminator issues. You will need software/drivers for the film scanner (which you have).

    Finally found a 1MB L2 cache for my 6100

    Those fans probably help with the cover off but once sealed you don't have any cool air coming in or hot are going out unless you cut holes somewhere.

    Which LC/Performa to buy?

    I need to dig out my SE's and see what is inside these days since I forget.

    Quadra 950 No Chime, No video

    Mine came with a Newer Technologies 68040/50 CPU upgrade, but it looks like this intel one: You want one that will fit in between the pins of a Motorola 68040

    Dual (or triple) Displays with G4?

    Easiest way is to get a AGP Radeon 9000 Mac edition and use DVI and ADC if you have that monitor type.

    Quadra 950 No Chime, No video

    You do have the CPU heatsink, correct? You can't run a full 68040 without a heatsink. How did you remove the CPU? I have a black pry tool that came with a CPU upgrade and removing the Q950 CPU using it was pretty easy with no damage or broken pins.
