It'd be nice if we can see pictures of the back and slots.

CelGen said: What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd? Click to expand... The back is a classic Power Mac G5, but wi…

I remember at one point reading what OS X version officially depreciated these machines; it was quite an old version (The retail version of Leopard?), so while it might be "fun" to…

I think if you really want to push it, you can put 10.6 on it (provided you appropriately patch it), but you'll likely need a modernish GPU to get it working!

Yes, but those are niche crazy hacked up boards for crazy people. Apple very likely just adapted a reference Intel one, but from the look of it, just put their branding and serial …

Likely a 915 chipset then. Just because it only has DDR doesn't rule out Core2 though, ASRock still sells boards with the older 865G(!) that can take Core2Duo chips.

It says DDR RAM, and the timeframe is 2005 (and probably earlier. Much earlier, if the Marklar history is anything to go back) so I'm leaning towards an early 9xx chipset. Sorry ki…

Likely a Socket 775 based machine with PCIe. Wonder if a Pentium D or even a Conroe 65nm Core2 will work in these. The latter depends on the chipset, if its a 915/925/955, its stuc…

Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

Man that's cool. I was working for Apple when the Intel transition was announced (totally upended my business for a while!), and I *really* wanted one of these - I knew they'd be a…

The ADP2,1 gets me - is there a first revision?

What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd?

It would be interesting to see one of these hackintoshed. I don't know if I've ever seen it, and this is maybe the third or fourth to roll around on the site. In part because they…

I have the DVD to reinstall it

I dont know if I'd mess with it. Definitely swap hard drives to save that current install.

I have found a nice "Power Mac" : there is a Pentium 4 inside, and a BIOS.   It's a Developer Transition Kit from 2005, the first officiel Intel Mac, with Mac OS X 10.4.1.   {…

yep thats the page I used.  Its like the only one that pops up when searching yahoo or google.

You might also try looking through this. You might find it useful. c

Reinstall open transport. It's stand alone installer. It will save you a lot of trouble. Leave the 10 base T switch in and make sure you have a correct cable. Some are straight…

LOL...could try...but no SCSI CD ROM lol

install 8.1 ?  

And I believe it is OpenTransport, I dont think they had MacTCP with System 7.6, i may be wrong though...

Yea...the connection light is on, and the link light is blinking. Just no communication. And, if it helps, I'm using a Faralon Ethernet Tranciever.

I'm assuming its running Open Transport? DHCP isn't supported by MacTCP. My "official" Apple AAUI 10BaseT dongle on my PM6100 is very touchy. I have to wiggle the Ethernet plug in…

Well damn, im running system 7.6 lol
