    I realise this is very much a one off, but if you can make another I’d be keen to purchase - Australian here keen to learn more about my ANS

    ImageWriter II - 2 Missing Dots

    I’d look out for a second ImageWriter locally - they are not particularly hard to find nor expensive.

    It's the OS, there is a specific driver for the AppleVision CRT which is assigned to the Monitors & Sound Control panel probably Mac OS 8 and up. This link refers to a standalone application you can install, haven't tried as is on the OS install CD normally...

    Phoenix: Open-Source NuBus FPGA Accelerator for 68040 Macs

    I think the project was AI theoretically based with not much substance … that might explain the 404

    SCSI to SATA?

    There are plenty of options for modern hard drive replacements, what about a Blue or Zulu SCSI, install a high quality SD card and you're away.

    Two cards found in a G4 DA

    The Formac card is a Permedia III-based chipset, it is excellent for 2D but very early 3D - was released late in the cycle as a cheaper dual monitor card for a Mac. Compared to your ATI Rage Pro, it may be faster for 2D with higher resolutions and quality but definitely not 3D, with drivers...

    Mobius 030 Accelerator Problem

    It doesn't look in the wrong position in the pic ... I'm sure you can find another part.

    USB cable link PC/Mac drivers

    This link, says the brand is ハイパーツールズ or "Hypertools", there might be an Archive.org website for it somewhere. Keep in mind it's USB 1.1 speeds only and competed with RS232C cables as a "fast" solution but you will be there all day transferring files using it...

    Yeah, no matter how hard you try to remove corrosion/cap goo from, it can always bite back or degrade long term

    Seeking insight: SE Superdrive display

    That's good it shows some life, the SE are the cockroaches of compact Macs and usually reliable, yours might have a bad caps in the PSU or analogue board. Silly question but have to ask - you have the monitor brightness all the way up? You can test the PSU voltages from the floppy port - see...

    Weird Power Issue Power Mac G4 MDD

    Best place to prove the voltages on an MDD would be on the PSU connector itself; the unit gets hot wide open so maybe point a fan at the internals while doing tests. Check the +25V ADC voltage with the ADC monitor connected especially under heavy load. Pinout is here (random link double check...

    Plus - Partial Power?

    Yes, it's re-soldering time to get it booting then can focus on other issues. Ideally try to suck up the old solder round the yoke connector, motherboard wiring connector, flyback and replace with new.

    Classic II Logic Board Lifted Pad Problem

    Scrape back the silk screening to reveal the copper and place the cap at a slight angle, should be OK you might want to put a small dab of hot glue on it to keep still.

    Weird Power Issue Power Mac G4 MDD

    I'd try another monitor (or unplug your monitor and continue to play a DVD perhaps) along with testing the +28V rail for ADC; the 15" ADC was pretty reliable but the 17" ADC often had issues with the inverter board, perhaps a similar issue with yours.

    Recommendations for reliable storage?

    Hi. I know what you mean, I've not encountered it on Mac SD/CF devices, but some of my DOS solid state devices I need to format relatively often. The answer would be to try brand new, high quality cards (I've often hit the jackpot here looking for locally sold private seller CF, SD cards on...

    PWM Fan - can it run directly off 3.3v, 5v or 12v inputs/GND?

    A 12V fan at 5V might not spin up, need to check specs of unit
