Probably not. Having enough time and programmers one could recreate the necessary software of course. But then you hit the next problem which is that computers able to run MacOS 9 are too slow and do not have enough memory for the modern web. Most modern websites require to 100s of Megabytes of...

One clarification - the floppy transition was from "auto-inject" to "manual-inject" Thus the deeper notch which enables you to push the disk farther inwards. All of these auto-eject the disks.

I feel strong iRack vibes (as described in this thread) and I like it!

This is pretty awesome. Debian Potato was the first Linux I installed (While I was happily running MacOS 9 and X). I installed it on a Performa 475 back around potato's release and took my first steps into this new World Nowadays I use Linux exclusively and Macs are only a Nostiagia thing. But...

Great, this was the post I was looking for. I saw it months ago and did not find it yesterday! I'm NOT looking forward to redoing the LCS but what has to be done, has to be done. Luckily I'm not afraid of taking things apart and am usually able to get them together again - So there's that at least

For a few months I was eyeing a working G5 Quad including a 23" Cinema HD Display with DVI Adapter that was offered for pickup at a price of 50 Euros! I always shied away from the Quads due to their water cooling issues, but at that price I could hardly say no. Only it was about 9 hrs drive...

I also failed with PC Setup under OS 8.1 a few years back and reverted to OS 7.5.3 If you find a solution, I'd also be interested!

If you choose to run IRC instead, there are several clients available. It's different but still a chat. Is the AIM network still operational even?

In theory I find the idea very appealing. But all of the mentioned caveats do apply. I'd like to have a new PowerPC Mac but I'm not prepared to pay the price that it would cost. As written above, software is easier than hardware. There are several FPGA systems available (Mister, Mega65) that...

I'll try to answer some of your questions. Yes the PRAM stores other settings beside the time. It is possible to use most Macs without a working PRAM battery but it is not convenient. You don't have to relocate it out of the case. The easiest way is to get a replacement battery and use it for...

Awesome. I'm going to pick up a G5 Tower next week. One more OS to run - and maybe actually use

Regarding printing metal hinges, albeit not for a Laptop. It is possible as can be seen in this blog article of a friend of mine: server cabinet with style - scroll down for pictures of the hinges. The text is german and english. They're made of steel and usually price is prohibitively...

Congratulations! This is great work!

That is pretty awesome!

True! Last year I recapped an Amiga 500 board and boy do these have good ground. It takes away heat faster than any board I've subjected to a soldering iron before. So I also tore off two pads. Luckily it is the ground pads that are problematic because of their heat capacity via the connected...

Ha and there I thought I posted the resolution already, but I didn't In my case the issue was fixed by changing the PP1 potentiometer. Also beware that I never had any boot issues - The machine beeped and booted just fine every time and the wobblyness was influnced by harddrive activity. This...

And there I always just use zinc spray to prevent corrosion. Yeah, I know I have no style ;) Looks awesome!

Congratulations! I bet is worth it! But hell on earth? Yeah it is not the easiest thing to do, but I have experienced worse things to take apart :)

And if that does not help, you can change this one too. I have experienced that already.

Yes, that is the case. Still this is the option for the fastest graphics cards in G4 Powermacs. Not so much the Radeon 9600 (It is one of the slower G5 graphics options, I also have one) - but in general.
