I assumed at the time that any card would do, but when I started hitting all these problems I did some reading around and found a lot of talk about Via chipsets being troublesome. …

I have had success with NEC-based USB2 cards. But as others have mentioned they only work at USB2 speeds in MacOS X 10.2.8+. The only exception I have had to a working NEC-based …

My only experience with a USB2 card upgrade was in a PM G4. The only one that could be picked up off-the-shelf was a generic PC one with a Via chip. Turned out to be useless. It wa…

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

Doesn't it have clips on the under-side of the board? (All of the 5x00/6x00 machines I've had do).

No OS X? How can you stand it?! At LEAST upgrade to Panther!

A while back, I determined that the installation issues with my PM 5500/250 I had were due to dried CPU grease. I'm stuck on how to take out the heatsink and fan assembly though. A…

Hi, I posted awhile ago about a non working Power Mac 8500. The problem was that it had no video out. Fortunately, it was just the adapter that didn't work, and I found a new Mac …
