I have a couple of reset buttons on my G4 EVT that aren't on production models... and it looks like yours has them too! and that longish white port in the middle too! neat!  No ide…

Not seeing a P86 listed, and Apollo was used for the Classic II. That being said, P88 was used for the 1GHz TiBook, and it's not like Apple never recycles codenames.

It does not help too that Apple's modeling number system is a joke. MacTracker shows 5 "models". 700/800mhz April 2002-May 2003 800/1000mhz May 2003-Oct 2003 1000mhz Oct 2003-Ap…

^-----------------------  ah education only … will get cha every time.

^ Not sure what you mean, but there were 1ghz models. And as much as I hate the eMac, thats cool. Protos are always sweet finds! And an EVT in the wild is an odd thing. PVTs yes, …

so production models went right form 800mhz to 1.25ghz  ?

cool man!

I've actually had this eMac since 2007 or 2008 (Leopard had JUST been released) but never really documented it or even mentioned it. Backstory is there used to be a place in Napa …

Yeh I'm quite enjoying using it actually... posting this from it in fact. I still havent worked out exactly what it's affliction to the R7k or the properly working Rage128 is yet, …

The Sonnet card will work well, and one day look out for one of their later G4 700/800/1000 upgrades which also run well in the 9600, and reliably.  It will feel like a new machine…

Sounds like all systems are go then. Might do the switcheroo then. Would I be right in assuming the majority of programs wouldn't really be able to make use of the multiprocessi…

Never heard of, Sonnet upgrades are usually very forgiving and don't tax the machine like others (with selectable bus, multiplier speeds .... Sonnet did none of that), so I'd go fo…

That does not ring any bells for me.  Doesn't mean it never existed, but does mean that it must have been pretty obscure if it did. There were issues putting G4 upgrades into the …

I recall reading somewhere... fairly recently even, that there was a certain CPU upgrade available for the 9xxx/8xxx/7xxx series PowerMac's that had an apparant link to failures of…

I have never built one, but the idea of making one (and getting some soldering skills in the process) for less than US$50k or whatever a totally beat-up Apple I usually goes for. (…

Hello! I wanted to start making the Replica I from the book "Apple I Replica Creation Back to the Garage" but i got problems with finding the appropriate PCB Manufacturer in europ…

I agree with Macdrone. Apple Utility HD will format the drive if it is working. That is a Big if. What kind of noises is the drive making? Anything other a constant high pitched w…

Well you can try Apple HD utility on a system 7 floppy.  But I am gonna jump out on a limb and say the hard drive inside is stuck or dead unless you know it was erased.

Hi, I have a classic two which has to support for hd20 emulation. It has a hard drive in it, which spins up and makes noises, but it does not mount when I boot up the mac. Is there…

Even if the motherboard is busted in the XPS there is still really nice components inside. I'm surprised the owner didn't salvage the really nice parts on the inside.

@bibilit , you know where to find these kind of recycle haul here in france Click to expand... Not really, from time to time car boot sales or flea markets have been good to me (…

Nice haul! You could try and save that MacBook Pro with a reflow, probably (and since it's already damaged, it won't hurt anyway).

Crazy how people throw thing… an iPad . @bibilit , you know where to find these kind of recycle haul here in france ? My main source for stuff is Bay or le bon coin...

That's an awesome haul in one swoop, I found a Dell XPS 720 a few years ago too, with a faulty motherboard - apparently a very common fault.  Standard ATX though so would make a fa…

Nice haul, congrats. Almost never get so much  at once. Yes people toss a lot of fine equipment. I get the same kind of Wii for my kid for 3 euros in working condition and a nice…
