G5's are awesome UNIX workstations. Enjoy.

Always nice to have some reference books when you get into the vintage Macs. Lots of information when these machines were the best there was. Good find!!

Cool! The only Mac book I have is Macs for Dummies, either the second or third edition. The Mac book I want is a MacBook! }

tada! Ok. When you install ram in a G5, it is NOT like the old power macs. The olds ones were like this 1|2|3|4|5 1|2|3|4|5. The new PowerMac G5s go likes this 4|3|…

I think we should keep the conquests to just 68K and early PPC macs and related gear. Do you realy want me to post all the offtopic stuff I grab (I could flood this forum easy)? …

Hey, it wasn't my decision. :-/ I was just trying to say that THE RULES might judge this as not following the conquest rules. I'm not the 68kmla deputy. I don't want you to tak…

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10204 As per this announcement, and the Apple KB article, you're fine. But honestly? This is the type of attitude that caused people to put their libe…

Oh!!!! Ownage! Coius, is this your fastest Mac ever? I think we should set a limit for things in the conquest section... YAY My eMac 700 was mentioned! Yeah PowerPC and old…

/airhorn/ Yes! squeaked by on that last round! I am just on the verge of vintage on MacTracker, and apple has abandoned the G5. In your face! Seriously, as much as you say this…

Nice conquest! However, the conquest boards are only for vintage Mac gear from now on. Just saying.

I ordered a 1GB DDR 3200 Stick to compliment one I have laying around. 3GB RAM anyone?

When you mentioned it in the chan I didn't realize it was a dual, thats awesome. IIRC the dual 1.8 is spost to be pretty reliable aswell (comparatively) .

Cost me $270 USD. I think it was an awesome deal. I got the guy to knock off $30. Btw, there are NO scratches on it ANYWHERE. It came out of my local college according to the g…

I am looking on craigslist and saw a 1.8Ghz Dual G5 Power mac that is about $300. Comes with 160GB HDD. 1GB RAM. I know RAM installs in pairs, but I think this would be a major s…

I've got a GigE/Mystic dual G4 now (thanks, coius!) and stuck in a couple 256MiB PC133 sticks I had. I run NetBSD on this machine, and while it sees these, it doesn't use them. T…

Two iMac G3/500MHz DVSE Snow machines are the only Macs (amongst 40+ left after a recent change of house) in this house that were bought new. Always-on for 6+ years, with their re…

I remember back in the day thinking that the Snow iMac was profoundly ugly, and that being completely devoid of any colour, it was almost like a beige iMac. Now, I think they look…

Hell yes, another member in the Bubble Macs Owners club. Very fine score.

Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …

You may need special drivers for that Farallon card - a lot of third party ethernet cards need their own drivers under System 7, rather than the drivers that Apple provides.

Nuke the HD and reinstall everything?

help? :'(
