I bought a 933MHz QuickSilver from a friend that I tought is 2002 version. What I found out is that is a 733MHz 2001 version overclocked. So I made a resaarch and found this site h…

My PCI SCSI card is an Adaptec 7850 flavour card, model AVA 2906. A fairly common card so it could be possible that it is the same as yours. Drivers for OS X can be downloaded here…

The OP has reported what System Profile provides from DMI. pci = PCI device 9004 = Vendor ID for Adaptec 7850 = Model number I don't know whether Adaptec have multiple flavours…

Hey guys I have this scsi card in my PowerMac G4 and I can't find the drivers for it. the only info i can get is this. pci9004,7850 Help please?

Aside from whatever identification strings and machine-specific features that may or may not be enabled in OF (i.e, video spanning), the iBook G4, PowerBook G4 Al, late-model eMac…

Sounds like it is a 'dead hd' given the circumstances you said. You could always try and take the drive out, and put it in an external enclosure to see if it is recognised on anoth…

Hi folks, Can anyone offer pointers to solving the following problem for a client? The machine is a G4 1.4GHz Mac Mini, and it was working fine when it left my hands. Its …

but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card Click to expand... Some CF and USB memory sticks can only be used with FAT16 or FAT32. They omit the DOS partition table …

Interesting. Anyone know why a 1.2 GB partition fails to format in disk utility then?

Standard HFS can go to 2Gig.

Hey gang, How big can an HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) partition be? I always thought they could be huge, but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card with Disk Utility in O…

In the hacks section of applefritter there is a guy who put an iMac into a 21" monitor. I had forgotten all about it untill this thread!

Fabulous. I have a mac display to VGA adapter sitting here as we speak. So I could use a standard display.

The only thing is, if you're using an old Apple display, the monitor must be a multisync monitor, ie: a Multiple Scan or AppleVision Display. If you're using a third party SVGA mo…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that. Click to expand... Yes you can. The port is the old …

If it's spitting out factory-pressed DVDs (I'm taking your "all DVDs" literally), then your drive is likely toast. Dual-laser drives use an IR laser for CDs, and a red one for DVDs…

Just recently, my iBook G4 spits out all DVD's without even reading them. CD's work just fine, and it's a Combo drive, so why would it be doing this? If I put the exact same DVD in…

Lucky, you got the cool iMac where it was user serviceable. Click to expand... Yup, mine's the same revision model. I was a bit bummed to find out only weeks after I purchased…

Some simple stuff you can try... When you run the disk repair and verification stuff within disk utilities while booted off the OS X install media, does it catch and repair anythi…

Lucky, you got the cool iMac where it was user serviceable.

Complete specs: 1.8 Ghz PPC G5, 512 MB RAM, 80 gig HD. I've done nothing to it since buying it, except for the guy at the apple store who inserted the extra 256 stick of RAM. @ Qu…

Make sure that it's nothing to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2390 I've already sent in my iMac G5 twice early this year and so far it's running OK. Mine wasn't eve…
