The last month or so I've been busy acquiring and storing several Macs. Some were nearly complete, others not so much. They were all no-cost, though I did have to spend several hou…

Camino 2.0 just came out - still supports Tiger and PPC. Yay for now, I guess.

SeaMonkey 2.0 was also released, and the Mac version is just gorgeous! Also r…
You might be able to fix it, sounds like you blew up something on the data side of the ADB. I think if there was fusing it would only be for the power side but I don't have the sch…

That's kind of what I was worried about. I don't want to throw stones at this company

now my ADB ports don't seem to work at all, except for the power button on the keyboard. The Mac boots normally, but the keyboard and mouse aren't responsive. They both work fine w…

If there was a rotten cap in the mix it could have just drawn enough extra current to push it over from rotten to dead

the ADB jacks can handle more than anything you would want to shove in a mac electronics wise, so unless there is a physically broken plug the jack itself is not at fault, maybe s…

Did you follow the instructions on that site?
If you wanna go renegade, you can try soldering the mouse directly to the mobo? If you have like a dirty mouse or bad mouse of course…

I was afraid of that. The ADB-PS/2 adapter is for mice, specifically this:

So ummm...anyone have another IIcx mobo with a socketed processo…
Hey all. I have a IIcx that's been working fine up until last night, when I tried to install an ADB-PS2 adapter to use with a Logitech mouse. The adapter didn't seem to work, and w…

That makes no sense; then I might as well use a different system that boots OS 9 and a KVM or something ra…

I have 10.5 on my G5. I don't see why you should limit yourself to 10.4. Just get a nice souped up G4 to run your Classic apps, and then you can run them on the real OS 9 and not i…

I don't think it would be too hard to keep a PPC build of Camino and/or Firefox going, assuming they don't start loading it up with x86 assembly or something. As long as they don't…
