Found it. Thank's Ca$h. I think, however, that the whole soldering thing has me a bit phased. That and possible Voodoo 2/mezzanine incompatibility with OS X. But then again, I …
If you do successfully get a hd into your rev. D imac please drop me a line (via icq or e-mail). My imac is currently down because i tried 2 install a new drive...
check it out
It will most certainly work. You have to replace your current hard drive, of course, as there is only one drive bay inside the iMac. However, an ATA/100 hard drive is a dumb idea. …
Thanks for your advice, Kozmik. I will buy the drive right away.
------------------
"With technology in all corners, learning to unplug can be particularly difficult."
The fact that the drive supports ATA-100 is pretty useless to an iMac owner, but that doesn't mean that you won't get a performance boost out of the drive. The iMac comes with a 54…
2 things:
1. Thats a BAD price. Go to www.pricewatch.com. 46 gigs can be had for WELL under 200 bucks
2. I'm sick of snooty G4 G3 tower owners saying "hahA. You wouldnt n…
Ca$h you are so right, and also the fact that there is only one drive bay, its hell. I wish that there was more room for another drive, but then i would have to get rid of my cd dr…
Sorry but:
There is currently ONE IDE drive that is worthy of an ATA-66 interface: the IBM Deskstar 75GXP. It's ALL OVER the web (see StorageReview.com and pay attention to IOME…
And I just bought a Quantum Lm for my rev.a w/Gwizard, because of its amazing seek and access times. Great for booting up and starting apps. Time is money. And the Deskstar is not …
jeezus nate... Secret project... I'm left speechless... oh well... You can get one from Sun Remarketing, along with pretty much any other apple part at www.sunrem.com, as for the …
I'm not going to put a G3 in an ATX case, Emunix, you crazy Canadian IRC-lover. It's much more diabolical than that. And don't ask me about it in #ev, either!
Yes, where did you get a G4 Motherboard!?!?
------------------
People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS!
You don't like Macs? …
The "Yikes!" MB is not a real G4, its the same as a B/W G3 but it lacks an ADB port. (ZIF, PCI)
Anyway a guy sold it to me.
Now I'll have to make some use of it......
nope, unless you know how to write drivers from the hardware specs...*thinks to himself I might be able to do that in a few years...but that'll be quite a LONG wait*
I think there…
Ok, I think I'll just buy a cheap VooDoo3. I don't have the money for a VooDoo 5 and haven't heard that there will be a PCI Radeon. Besides I think my system won't run those cards …
With the money you save from the Voodoo5 to Voodoo3 (I've seen Voodoo3 PCI cards going for �69), you could easily afford to buy a Formac TV card or similar.
The Radeon will ship in both versions, AGP and PCI, and will cost $279.
The AGP is expected to ship this September while the PCI will ship possibly late fall, not clear yet, ATI o…
