Huh, I should try that. I just assumed it was something I had done wrong when upgrading to VGA. On another note, does anybody know of a mod that can create a new motherboard cover…

thank you my happy campers! it seems that i had dirty contacts at location J4 from the pdf above. weird and simple. the plus has been running for 40mins - which is 30-35mins long…

What software were you using to recognise the card and format/mount it? If nothing else works its usually best to try FWB Hard Disk Toolkit. Also its worth trying different brands …

I recapped my classic II, its not that hard to do. Click to expand... Uh, although true, saying that and nothing more is not very helpful for anothrgrnworld. I'm pretty certain…

Make SURE you install the modules as a MATCHED PAIR. I didn't, and got burned. Evidently the G5 is very finicky about it's memory.

I recapped my classic II, its not that hard to do.

I'm looking at going this route too... I'm actually planning on getting a pair of Dual G5s so I can have a full data and hardware backup. Even with a decent (non-Apple) monitor and…

btw, my IIc has the same port, so am I to assume it will work on that? Click to expand... I would also like to know whether the AppleColor will work with Macs. Nice score btw, …

Yeah, 7.6 isn't THAT different from 7.5.5.

About the OS, if you're going to use the newest OS it can run, get a copy of 8.1. No, wait, NetBSD . You would be SERIOUSLY wasting your time with 7.6, 7.5.5/7.1 is the way to …

Well, if you just toss in random sticks, then there won't be a display at all I believe. You have to have a matching set of four. So don't toss out that Radius card! :O

I'll try some matching sets. There are just random sticks in there. The Radius card, display absoulutley nothing. I think it may be toast.

It can't hurt anything to try some DDR RAM that you have laying around. It may work just fine, but remember the G5 was pickier than just about any Mac when it comes to RAM. And y…

your problem is weird. I wonder how heat would make it brighter. Maybe it's fixable. Click to expand... Hopefully so. I ought to post a thread on csa2, now that I think about i…

Thanks I did do that and cleaned up the smudges and it seems to be working better albeit still intermittently. Now sometimes when I boot it I get no sound and the disk drive doesn'…

TransMac will work too.

I've used RetroBrite, with fantastic results.

Yeah, otherwise known as Retr0bright. I haven't used it myself but IIRC some members here have had success with it.

I've heard of using a mix of Oxy Clean and hydrogen peroxide to remove yellowing. Not sure of the specifics but it may be worth googling/binging/yahooing etc.

Most Macs could not handle 8MB 30-pin SIMMs. The path for most, with a few notable exceptions, was 256kB, 1MB, 4MB, 16MB. That is, fourfold increments. Some left off one end or …

I assume they would have, as they made 16MB 30 pin SIMMs.

I have about 6 ADB keyboards and Mice. I get them for free a lot of the time. If you need them they can easily be found on freecycle, at least in my area.
