What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #14

You have to remember that the G4's are a little older than the G5's and the G5's are a little older than the MacPro... But in the end it's up to the person who uses it nd what the…

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #6

A handful of observations: 1. A 9500 is now old enough to have capacitor failure. Sorry, but it's just possible. 2. I acquired an 8600/300 a few years ago that exhibited the same…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #2

Yeah, as a part of the Mac II FDHD upgrade you do need IIx ROMs. I don't think the SWIM controller will fully function without it, as the Mac II ROMs most likely don't have the rig…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #13

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

Screen Spanning Doctor simply removes Apple's artificial limitations on the true dual-head capability of various video cards in the iBook and iMac lines. Unfortunately, the limitat…

I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

Also formatting floppies in OS X is a bit hit-and-miss. It won't do the part where it goes back and eliminates bad blocks. You also don't get the 100% same full capacity for some…

Wow, $40 is a bargain, really. I guess it's different over here (they never sold outside the US) but I paid a lot more than that for my system. Although it was more complete and i…

It all depends what you are going to do with it. $225 for a G5 you intend to use (and is up to the challenge) as your main mac is a good price, but $225 for something to add to you…
