I think that there is some confusion here.
The early Mac models have ROMs that are in a DIP package. Examples: 128K/512K, 512Ke/Plus, SE and SE FD/HD. Later Macs (SE/30 and IIfx) …
you also need System 6.0.2 or higher lest the Macintosh II still mistake the high-density drive as an 800kB mechanism.

You have to remember that the G4's are a little older than the G5's and the G5's are a little older than the MacPro...
But in the end it's up to the person who uses it nd what the…
As LCGuy relates, in addition to insertion of the replacememt ROM chips:

Yeah, as a part of the Mac II FDHD upgrade you do need IIx ROMs. I don't think the SWIM controller will fully function without it, as the Mac II ROMs most likely don't have the rig…
If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

My 2.3 was introduced a little bit before the dual cores... so it's not that old, maybe in computer years but its still a VERY capable machine...

I Love The G5's they are tanks!!!
But just B/C they aren't supported doesn't mean they are no good...

I'll be running Adobe CS 4 with my main machine my 2.0 dual core G5..
it's not for a collection but to be used..
I know I have to up the memory but there's no rush...

It all depends what you are going to do with it. $225 for a G5 you intend to use (and is up to the challenge) as your main mac is a good price, but $225 for something to add to you…

Yeah, here in Australia, they commonly go for $800 - $1200...I don't think i've ever seen a G5 go for less than AU$800, ridiculous, if you ask me.
Personally I think you paid a go…
yes it was 225.00 USD... I been checking them out on ebay and some (like what I just bought today) go for 600.00 and up...
and they want 50.00 or 60.00 for shipping...

5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…
I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…
The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

I believe the SE/30, and IIx ROMs are identical.
Since the Mac II can be upgraded to FDHD, does that also upgrade it to the IIx ROM?
I know the SE/30 can use a IIfx and IIsi ROM.…
I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…
I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed.
I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me.

Those aren't disk images. They are the files from the disks. The folder named MacMovies has the programs and a bunch of movies in it. If you want disk images, download the files an…
None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…
