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…

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…

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 …

Well.. the G5 tower is pretty much default or stock with the exception of the hard-drive. The originally sell for some reason (i suspect security) didn't ship it with the tower. So…

Warning-Warning-Warning Forum newbie question! How do I test an LC power supply outside of the computer? I've searched this forum, and didn't find a definitive answer, but I susp…

Ermm... Guy's you have a whole forum for the G5... Yet you choose to hi-jack this thread. So in light of 64bit applications, how does your discussion contribute to my problem solvi…

The WiFly GSX module incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, processor, TCP/IP stack / preloaded with software to simplify integration and minimizes development of your application. In the si…

Kangas seem to be thick on the ground here for cheap on the local CL. seen 3 in the last six months for >=$50. There is one on there right now for $35. I was thinking of sna…

I would think industrial machines had RS-422 so you can hook up quite a few devices to one line (each having its own ID). Anyway can't you just send data over the serial port on a…

I might as well just buy the 240MB drive I found at an online store with a 90 day warranty for $49 + $15 shipping. Click to expand... Don't. Even a parts system with a drive is…

That sucks. and with the PB with the checkerboard screen, try taking out the installed RAM card (if there is one). the SCSI hard drives are also not too difficult to find if y…

I have tried tapping the 80MB drive but no change occurred. Considering it a lost drive I also tried more forceful hits and still no effect.

Thanks for the advice. My concern about the 575 is that it has the monitor attached...I'd like to get by without it! Thus my question about putting the 575 mobo in a different case…
