:O NO FAIR!! i don't have _any_ adb keyboards, or any Apple-branded adb mice!

So today I went to a thrift store in hopes of finding any old macs. Nada, Later on in chinatown, I thought i'd stop by an old hardware shop which sells electronics and Keyboards an…

It is rather annoying when the CD/disk is missing, isn't it? In my book conquest recently, the Power Mac book should have had a CD, and the Customizing the Mac for Fun/Productivity…

I'm actually on the look-out for another bookshelf. Roughly half of my books/manuals are in boxes, which isn't the worst thing since I don't read them all everyday, but when I do, …

Oops! didnt read it right. its a 32meg chip! EDIT: My ram SIMM has 16 Micron Technology Inc. Dram 5volt CMOS 4Megx4 2K refresh Fast Page Type Behuizing 60ns chips!

Nope. all that page told me was that i had Micron technoligy RAM.

I went to a book sale where it was $3 for a filled bag. There were a lot of computer books, not just many vintage Mac ones. I did manage to find Macworld Illustrator 5.0/5.5 Bible…

I have a growing collection of olden Mac books too, including repair/reference/technical books and history books, as well as both John Sculley and Gil Amelio's autobiographies.

http://www.chipmunk.nl/DRAM/ChipManufacturers.htm Check that page for identifying your RAM module.

Indeed. Partly, my collection is for posterity (if there will be a posterior). If they have the machines but don't know how to use them, then that's a shame. Not everything is docu…

Enjoy. Click to expand... Oh I am! It runs pretty much anything I run at it! Oh, and It is waaaaaaaay way faster than my 933Mhz G4. I know people say it lags a bit. Well wha…

Could it be a Kibimember? What's that? 1^10... Oops, Error that comes back as one. It's not as bad as dividing by Zero 1 /0 Oh noes! *Zap!*

G5's are awesome UNIX workstations. Enjoy.

Uh, no. Assuming that we use the binary equivalents of the metric prefixes, a gigamember would be the 2^30th member. That would be member 1,073,741,824. What you are thinking of…

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!!

it's ram simm has 16 464M4B1 chips. Anyone wanna look at some RAM SIMMS and see if you see any 416M4B1 chips, then tell me how big said ram simm is?

Oh, and someone said that it probebly had 16/32mb of ram? i'm hoping its 32, as that gives me an (Apple) maxed out 36mb of ram!

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! }

Great plan! Just a note, it would be wise to ask for any SCSI hard drives, as the converters go for chump change on eBay.

good luck!

Oh, and i asked my grandma who works at a school to ask the computer guy if they had some spare parts, i made a list of what i want, and it included 50 pin scsi harddrives! *cross…

ok. I don't have enough pocket money to get it right now, but i'm assuming that you searched for 'Apple SCSI hard drive' to get that?

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|…

You definitely can. The shop where I bought my HD from has a stack of 68-pin and 80-pin 9.1 GB SCSI hard drives for $5 each and I bet you can find them for that much somewhere …
