So like you could make leopard run on a G3? Click to expand... well you can run Leopard on a G3 system that has a G4 upgrade on it, but its not the same as running it on a G3 t…

So like you could make leopard run on a G3?

Installed Mac OS X Leopard. So far i'm pleased with it, it's not a bad operating system on this CPU and Graphics Card. Speed isn't sacrificed too much for the functionality... it's…

I still have the source file for the diagram (OmniGraffle Pro) so I'll make some minor changes later. May make up a wiring diagram for the mains power passthrough connector as well…

That guy's diagrams are pointlessly confusing. The one on outofspec is much clearer. But in the end it was someone in IRC who sent us the pinout from the Apple service manual who…

I remade some of the wiring tonight to a much neater design. Still needs to be tied together but it's otherwise working fine. Used a 20 to 24 pin extension cable this time as well.…

Yep, after much headbanging on IRC with iMac600 and others, this was the conclusion we settled on. I have a box of 24V Powerbook supplies with dodgy cases I picked up at auction. …

That's where this next component comes in. Instead a connection of 5vSB, it will use a secondary internal 24v PSU from a PowerBook! The connections of the PowerBook PSU will be con…

Bunsen, I was using 5VSB of my Antec NeoPower 650 Blue for my Digital Audio mobo but eventually after time it started loosing power under extreme load and right after power button …

http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml Looking at the link you provided earlier, the two additional pins toward the top of the connector require at least 12v to start up- …

Why? Are you thinking of the +28V line? I had no problem substituting +5VSB (standby) Otherwise, a G4 requires a -lot- less power than a P4

Sat. 23rd August 2008 (5:25PM) - Quicksilver Roars into Life What? That's right. After spending a good $65 on a Gigabit Ethernet logic board, i've just gone and repaired my broke…

I see that the Gigabit and Digital Audio power pinouts are exactly the same. I succeeded in booting my DA from an ATX PS with an extension cable made for P4 logic boards. It had …

Oh weird. Those must have been like, the super gimped versions. Eww.

I got it, and its definatly a sawtooth(has AGP). Some of the sawtooths were 350 according to LEM

Cheers, i'll keep those in mind for tomorrow. I have to stop by my local computer store anyway so i'll see what they have in stock first. CPU extension cable won't work since the 4…

Some of you may recall the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver I picked up for the fantastic price of free not that long ago. It was destroyed by a student who fiddled with the voltage regula…

I recently improvised a fix on a Pismo hinge (it was snapped off) by using a good 12" Wallstreet hinge from a broken LCD assembly. It required disassembly of both LCDs to extract t…

Wow. I hate it when the thread I'm asking a question on is in the top 5 google results when I search for info on my question.

Hmm well. If the memory used by the processes is not what's draining your memory usage... you know that almost all free memory is normally eaten up by UNIX systems for the file sys…
