So, I am still chicken about doing the VGA mod to my Color Classic.  But I am OK doing the software mod that will let me put a over clocked 575 logic board in my Color Classic. So…

Hi... I need a schematic for a color classic analog board.  Where can I down load one or buy one? Thanks jack

Schmoburger.... Point well taken.  I restore old vacuum tube motion picture amplifiers for a hobby 1930s-1950s equipment.  I keep them all original.  I would prefer to drop in a …

I'm very much a fan of the 5400 and even moreso the 5500... There was a lot of machine in them for the money, with a decent video controller as well, and they were actually decentl…

You dont have a 5500/6500 laying around do you? Click to expand... I agree, those are pretty cheap are not really sought after, will try at least for testing purposes.

Hearing buzzing matching system functions is the TAM buzz. Means your audio isn't toast, but something is stopping it from producing sound.

If all else fails, sourcing a 6500/300 board, desoldering various connectors to make it fit, etc, would be a good project.  The baking sode mixture sounds like a bad idea IMO, and …

^----  i agree the 5400 is a good machine, its like they finally did it right.

Second vote for the G4-mini and 10" VGA tube (if you can find it). But if you're going to bother making it more modern, why go half way?  Drop a brand new Mac mini in there, or bet…

Somebody done that before (http://www.mac512.com/ccpmg4.htm), back when G4 cube was the smallest Mac available on the market.  However, given that the Cube is such iconic and clas…

Well I cant advise that being a good idea or not...  But, I do know that the trace damage will need patch wires on the ones that are open circuit. 

I love the 5400s.

According to Mactracker, the 5400 needs 70ns dimms, and the 5500 needs EDO.  That may be the source of the confusion. Or maybe the overlap in speeds: Mactracker says the 5400 goes …

I would assume that if you put faster RAM in, it will just run at the slower speed if that is all the machine can handle.  But when I used to service PCs, there were always some ma…

Has anyone ever used an LED display for a personal computer display? Anyway, yes the chipset supports it. Just not sure if the Cube with OS X will. Best bet is to simply try.

I think that with RAM speeds, unless you go too fast, you can go faster (but not slower) than the recommended. In fact, it'll make your system faster. Go ahead with 60ns 168-pin DI…

So I'm trying to clear up some confusion. According to Low End Mac, EveryMac, and just about every other site I can find, this machine needs 70ns 168-pin DIMMs. However, every we…

G4 Cube in Colour Classic? It's funny because both machines have a sort of cult following (in a good way). I'm even thinking of making a Mystic...

Unity, are you saying the chipset in the G4 Cube support 640 X 480? Yes, LED backlit is so much better then normal LED displays... jack

I hate LED displays too. But I prefer LED backlit displays... Anyway. The chipset supports 640x480. Just not sure if the cube itself will. I suspect it would though.

Hi folks... Looking around on ebay, I saw a inexpensive smaller Mac called a Power Mac G4 Cube.  It has no monitor.  I would only be interested in a mod using this if I could some…

thinking and googleing about it, im going to take out the board and cover the acid damaged area with 3to1 baking soda mixture to kill any remaining acid.  let it soak into it for a…
