I need to score a complete set of OS X install discs soon. I have every version of Mac OS from 7.5-9.2.1 and am starting to bring some OS X capable machines back to life and have n…

I have a 1.25ghz DP G4 MDD with a Radion 9000 pro video card running 10.5.8. I have it connected to a Sony 46" LCD TV via a DVI-HDMI adapter. I use it mostly as a PVR, a video play…

can I pull the processor from a Yikes! and put on a B&W?) Click to expand... Yes, I think you can. Click to expand... You must use a ROM flashing utility from one o…

A nice thing about B&W G3 and Yikes G4 is that they are the last macs with the older style ADB connectors for keyboard and mouse. Click to expand... The Yikes does not …

I found a link for the Tiger patch - they didn't make it easy. Archive it while you can, it probably won't be there forever. http://tcsupport.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/tcsupport.cfg/ph…

My MDD is temporarily offline for repairs, but the highest I have used was 10.4.11. It works great! As I recall, there were only a couple of features which didn't work, and they we…

A nice thing about B&W G3 and Yikes G4 is that they are the last macs with the older style ADB connectors for keyboard and mouse. This expands your options also beyond USB …

I would probably look in the Omniweb archives to see what runs on Jaguar.

Well, it won't run faster (apart from now having cache working of course) unless you change the jumper settings.

Wait: if this is all about testing OS X browsers, why do you need OS X Server at all? Click to expand... The issue is he wants to stay "legal" within the letter of the "law", …

We are trying to find a way to test various mac browsers through the mac os's without having the extra equipment available. I know how to get this done, but I didn't know osx serv…

Yeah, I mounted it on my G5 and moved it back over to the 9600. It's working now. Not much faster than before but at least I'm running a G3 now.

And I found this: By Jonathan A. Oski The Mac is tackling many tasks that were not thought possible just a couple of years ago, but there are many areas where timesaving imp…

Daystar RAM PowerCard. Click to expand... Thanks for the actual product name. A Google search turned up this page: http://www.linkology.com/daystar/ however, all the links …

Nice find! I would love that Mac OS X Server 1.0 (Rhapsody) disk. I can't seem to find those anywhere.

You know that might work.... I still have a few Proliant 5000 units. At least they are Compaq beige. They would fit right in at 7U in height, and once stripped are an incredible…

Somebody from the old IRC channel has the 840AV version of a RAM card that used 8 x 72 pin SIMMs (32MB max each for 256MB total). I think Newer technology sold it. It was pretty fa…

I have seen only one of these, on eBay a few years back. It sold for something outrageous even then, before the prices of nubus-era equipment began to go up. As I recall, the writ…

I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I assume the bus speeds are wildly different) Click to expand... B&W bu…

Daystar RAM PowerCard. I'm pretty sure it was not addressable as system memory, just as RAM disk, print spool, and disk cache. FWIW I have been searching for this and any similar …

This tech note:http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/technotes/hw/hw_520.html states that: "There is no way that the Macintosh operating system can recognize NuBus RAM an…

The only way I can even think of would be to run a PC hardware emulator like QEMU or Virtual PC, then run "Hackintosh" OS X inside that. It would be dog-slow, though. (Hrm... Yo…

We are only allowed to place rack units in the data center I've tried micro-atx boxen clipped to the side of the racks behind panels and got whacked for that pretty hard. Still…

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally decided to allow the OS 9 disc to format the hard drive and installed it Firmware now updated, and Tiger installation restored perfectly w…

Gorgonops much thanks there. I think I'm going with the xserve and licenses after all. Get this - the simple reason is: ....... We are only allowed to place rack units in the d…
