Thank you! This is great. I appreciate it. Is there a way to determine what manufacturer's screen I have before I take it apart?

It's alive! Installed the 120 GB using the ChenYang mSATA SSD to IDE card, and my Mac OS 8.5 CD sees it and initialized it just fine. When I go to install 8.5, I get an alert telling me there's "not enough space on the disk to complete the installation. (2316311K needed, 2096892K available)."...

Oh cool! I'll look for some disassembly videos. Thanks for this. Should be a fun project.

I have a clamshell that seems to be in great operating shape except the display is majorly borked. Is it a nasty project to replace the LCD, or should I just look for a new iBook and move on from this? I'm just getting started in the world of Mac tinkering, and I have yet to solder, though I am...

When I tried that, it didn't work. No burning. I'll definitely try again later, and I did't realize it just burned the file and not the image. Thanks for this.

Burnt the CD, placed it in the CD module, and rebooted. Got a chime, and it sounds like the CD drive is trying to spin up, but it doesn't make it, and I'm left with the blinking ? on the disk image. Sigh . . . I assume the CD drive can't/won't read the CD-R. Back to the drawing board. Ordered a...

For noobs like myself, some insight on burning a CD on a silicon Mac running Sonoma. And if you're not a noob, you may still find this helpful, I hope. I hooked up my Apple SuperDrive to a USB A port on my M1 Mac Mini, and when the disk spun up, I chose "Open in Finder" on the drop down in the...

Thanks for this! Some Verbatim CD-Rs are being delivered today, so I'll try this soon and report back.

Annnnd the OS 8 CD won't boot the machine. I get a message telling me the software is outdated. Anyone have an OS 9 install they can burn? Or do you know if I can burn one using a SuperDrive on a silicon Mac?

I tried a CE/PC card combo, and the Wallstreet wouldn't see it. These are the parts I'm going to try later this week: The MSATA: https://a.co/d/0LCxIKw The card: https://a.co/d/0j8LAtt I chose these because someone mentioned them working on a Wallstreet. Sorry, but I forget who. I also...

Doh! Thanks for this. I have an IDE/MSATA around here somewhere.

So I dug out my old Wallstreet, and it starts up, but the hard drive is dead. I have a BlueSCSI V2 for PowerBooks, but when I went to install the thing, it didn't seem to fit into the internal hard drive area. The connectors don't seem to line up. Am I missing something, or does the BlueSCSI not...

So I couldn’t add a CD-ROM to the internal SCSI the hard drive uses? I noticed there were two IDE ports, as well. I assume if I wanted to add a ZIP Drive, it would also be IDE, correct?

Thank you! This is perfect. I don’t know how I missed that on everymac.com.

I'm very new to Mac restoration, and I've come into possession of a beige G3 desktop running at 233 Mhz. The CD-ROM drive that came with it is dead slow and seems like it's dying, so I ordered an internal SCSI, but now it looks like the CD-ROM drive is on the IDE bus. Does that sound right? If...
