You could always put a video card in the 575. You'd have to set it up so that it always defaulted to this card but it just might work (I've done this on an LCII with a Radius card …

Hey Mars, What vintage is that iMac G5? If it's some of the early models prior to mid-2005, it may be the internal power supply unit. If so, check to see if Apple still covers i…

Got the Powerbook. I had some very weird problem happen to me though, and now that I think about it I suspect it is due to power loss. The 190 came with a battery that seems to hol…

You put in a price that you want them to sell to you in the box at checkout (the price is for each unit) They will email you if they agree.

Do some google searching apple is known for still replacing entire g5 units with the water cooling leak to this day.

When I look at that page I tried adding the 500MB hard drives to my cart but can't get it to give me a price, can you tell me what they say for you?

I suppose it might be possible (long shot) to set up the module to act as an Appletalk bridge by writing a custom firmware for it. / port something like NetaTalk / emulate an Local…

I picked up a 17" Apple Studio Display, and a Power Mac G5 from a music school about a week ago. - The CRT monitor works great. I have it connected to my 68k PowerBook. The color …

Why did I say wheelie bin? Because that's what HE said. Turned out to be a large tub, about three quarters full. I'm kind of glad in a way, because, I wouldn't have had the space…

Here's another pic of the LC 475 motherboard (my own) with a LC PDS video card if that helps:

Here's another pic of a 475/605: comm slot may not work when a IIe card is installed http://support.apple.com/kb/TA46886?viewlocale=en_US. Click to expand... Well, it …

What a great find! Does it contain a stock SE motherboard or something similar? Should be very rebuild-able. Have you tried powering it up without the main battery in place? It may…

I have some nicer shots of the Quadra 605 if there's anyone interested: http://macgui.com/upload/gallery/f_0/user_2/regular/upload_1103.jpg http://macgui.com/upload/gallery/f_0/u…

Technically haven't actually grabbed it yet, I'm leaving work early in a bit here and driving about an hour to pick it up. Not the color model, 28 megs ram, unknown HD. Boots into …

There are also two 500 MB PB SCSI drives for the best offer here: http://www.surpluscomputerliq.com/cgi-bin/mccsearch.pl (PN 661-0175) I would gladly take the parts.

Hi Grampa. My LC's power supply has the same symptoms you've mentioned, the clicking sound. It's most likely toast.

I suppose it might be possible (long shot) to set up the module to act as an Appletalk bridge by writing a custom firmware for it. / port something like NetaTalk / emulate an Local…

If you put ECC memory controllers in desktop PCs, what sort of quality control do you expect? I guess that Intel would do a good job overall (some of their ICH chipsets have proble…

The 575 board is a popular upgrade for Colour Classics, so if you decide to go that route, you might find useful information on those sites.

Thanks, Gorgonops, for those great ideas. Software and I parted company when the goto statement was outlawed (a legal condition of getting my graduate degree was that I not write c…

Well I found a 165 on ebay for $15.. no cord or battery but I can just use the ones I have, maybe its hard drive will be working. I guess I'll cannibalize the 145's and combine any…

I have a 300mhz Wallstreet which mostly works well, but has a couple of issues: First, I think I have some version of the charging board problem. In my case, the system recognizes…

Will the 575 mb fit in a 605 case? Click to expand... It might fit, but it won't be a drop in replacement. There would be a load of hackery involved. Here's an LC575 motherbo…

Finally, it was a big mistake for Apple not to include ECC memory support in at least the "Pro" desktops. IBM has good engineers, but they come from a background that assumes that …
