The metal band around the CRT is more than a means to secure the four corner mounting lugs. It is an implosion resisting band applied and tensioned by the CRT manufacturer to many …

Very nice, I love the 950 series (have 5 myself). Odd seeing a real WGS95 without the DAT drive, did it still have the PDS SCSI card installed and the optional 5 drive tray? You a…

Does your replacement CRT lack a band or something? Click to expand... I don't have a replacement CRT but I want to save the frame and attaching band in case I find one that do…

Since it appears you have a dvd drive here is a link to Suse for the last supported build.. I've not installed this particular build, but looks like I need to try it out since it'…

Trag, I would also include the backup system AMANDA for Linux in your statement. Even though there are tutorials and how-tos to get this system up and running claimed in 15 mins..…

I suppose that might make me fire up the se/30 in the garage.. I really need to bring all my macs inside the basement... I had a climate controlled storage area that I recently qui…

Very Very nice Conquest there! Those are worthy of MY basement } The Thunder II card with the dsps are very nice in this class of machine as well. With 256megs of ram I bet i…

Well, that certainly makes sense. That would sound like a video card fail in OSX. I really need to install my bigger hd in the b&w and set things up much better to my lik…

NICE!

That's ... awesome! I know you've had trouble finding old Macs near you, which makes it doubly awesome. How did you find these?

As quinterro said, you won't be able to start any PowerPC Mac up off that disc, thats for an Intel PC system. You want a version of Linux thats built for use on a PowerPC, which wi…

The ISO that you downloaded is for Intel processors. It won't work on PPC systems.

Well what are you waiting for?! Get started on your super-computing cluster!

WGS 95 has 48 RAM, Q950 has PPC upgrade 601-100 MHz, full 256 RAM, the other two didn't boot, one had sad bong and other probably PSU problem.

Now days they seem to teach Javascript or some such as a beginning language which is probably more applicable to today's life, but I doubt that it is an easier introduction than Ba…

Under 24 bit addressing there is 1M of address space assigned to each Slot. Does that mean that a video card would be limited to 1 MB of VRAM when using 24 bit addressing? Or i…

Asked in 2004 what Apple should do next, Jef Raskin replied, "Turn out a good interface." Amen, I say. After nearly ten years of using the damn thing daily, I still can't find my w…

OK guys, try to control the laughter back there. How do i start up in openSUSE 11.2 i1586.iso ? Honestly i have not a clue this being one of my many clueless days do i do a r…

Not sure if you're already past this part... The suction cup and red (usually red) cable to the side of the CRT is an integral part of the flyback transformer. If you wish to re…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

I use ubuntu 6.10 on my powermac G4 and it runs fine, the only thing is its hard to find software for ppc distros linux

The 8GB limitation was only for Beige G3s and Tray load iMacs. AFAIK the B&W G3 can have a partition of any size for a startup volume, and in any location on the drive. (th…

Yeah, Suse dropped official support for awhile, then they brought it back a couple years ago, and now it appears they have just dropped it again. I've been installing version 9 and…
