Interesting. I can't make out the part number stamped on your rusty shield but it looks different from my almost pristine version - 805-0406-B: I transplanted this from an LCII to my LCIII. It's magnetic. I presume there were multiple suppliers and/or versions. I wonder whether SSS-1 on mine...

FWIW: I also restored a rusty LCIII ... I tried a number of unsatisfactory chemical and mechanical methods before picking up zombie LCII for parts and swapping in its practically pristine EMF shield wholesale. Avoid getting LCs from humid locations!

If you’re giving up on the beast and want to sell parts, I’d be interested in picking up the cdrom drive. I’ve been restoring a Bondi but I need a replacement tray-loader and I’ve found it impossible to track one down.

I still don't understand what you want to do that only Server supports. Tiger will happily file share (to and fro) with MacOS 7/8/9 and with modern Macs.

If you look at the bottom of that page you'll see the used parts.

The UTsource app is telling me they have used parts available.

FWIW, back in 2023, I got replacement CY7C128A-20VC TAG SRAM chips from UTSource to fix mine.

OSX Server 10.4.7 should install and run OK on a MacMini1,1 since it has the same kernel as non-server. But check EFI is up to date. But why use Server? IMHO, it's a nuisance to configure and you have file services with regular Tiger. If you absolutely must have Server, a tactic might be to...

My Q700 is the same as @jmacz except for the Stereo FIFO Tests ending (1108 1108) not (1103 1103) - different system sound config??

Correct again. 😁

It is random. I do see $0000 most often. And while repeating version 1, I also got $01FE and $01AC each on one occasion. Yep, you're correct!

And I also see slight differences across OS versions. 7.1 gives: And 7.5.5 yields:

Here's version 2 on my Q700 (with 7.6.1). Note not matching Callan's this time:

Here's what my Q700 reports under 7.6.1:

If you want to be able to run PPC binaries with Rosetta, stick to Snow Leopard. I've got nothing against Leopard (I wrote bits of it) but SNL is superior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_(Intel-based)#3rd_generation:_Unibody is useful. That's quite a capable machine (iMac9,1 with Penryn...

Get http://www.applerepairmanuals.com/the_manuals_are_in_here/PowerMac_G4_mirror.pdf If you’re lucky, the PMU needs a reset. If you’re unlucky, the PSU may indeed have given up the ghost. They’re prone to failure. Mine did and needed a partial recap. They run hot and a number of caps are...

Get a disk utility listing of all drives from the command line "diskutil list". That'll tell you what the organization is (partitions, volume types and sizes, etc). You may need to run First Aid to fix-up some volumes .. but start with the listing.

If boot fails earlier, not finding a boot drive, I'd expect the ?-floppy icon. If the booter fails or possibly if the kernel panics early, the circle-slash results. A verbose boot will say more. A safe-boot may be needed if kernel extension caches are corrupt. If you don't have any luck with...

What OS is it running? If OSX, boot verbose (cmd-V) to get more clues.

As a footnote to disabling the boot memory test... On my beige G3 mini-tower running MacOS9.2, the memory test comes and goes mysteriously. It seems to return spontaneously. It may be that it's enabled by booting into OFW which I frequently do to boot other OSes. Perhaps XPostFacto is involved...
