I second JRL, at least grab the SE and the Portrait Display, and grab the SE/30 as well if you can.

I have to say, those old Apple scanners are really good considering their age...I have a Colour OneScanner 600/27, and its brilliant...the quality's better than that of my Epson mu…

That sucks.

Reading HFS is no problem. You can use HFSExplorer. It only has read-only support but that's all you probably need anyway. TransMac and MacDrive give full read/write support but th…

Count the pins on the SCSI drive. There should be 50 ( 2 x 25 ). Anything which handles 50pin SCSI should be able to read it. Even 68pin and 80pin can work with $5 adapters. Your …

My iMac G5 of the same gen as your PowerMac using the same proc had this problem. It turned out to be RAM

I've had my Centris 650 for many years, and I don't recall there ever being a "power brick" for it. Simple power cord is all I've ever used. Click to expand... What I meant was…

I just registered here. I have a Performa 600CD that had gone strong for 17 years, but died a year ago with the same issue described here while I was loading up some game. It proba…

G5's seem to be hot running chips, which is why Apple built the case around cooling them with massive airflow, multiple cooling fans, and temp sensors. When you resort to water coo…

Here's a Macintouch page discussing "G5 Thermal Runaway". You might find something helpful in it. On an advisory note, I had a 2.0 Ghz G5 Xserve for a while, which I understand us…

it did die out a long time ago (I have ordered stuff from the original ages ago). He opened a newer site a few years back (2007-2008) selling laptop parts, and that crashed and bu…

The Color OneScanner 1200/30 is one of my more-used toys: This came from it, via a Quadra 650 that has since died (fixing it is on my little list of things hopefully to be done du…

This pic gives a good sense of the mess the machine was in. It's still hard to believe it came up so well with just a clean. Click to expand... Nice ColorOne scanner I real…

I tried taking out the battery, reseating the CPU card and everything else again, waiting, pressing the red button, and still nothing. Pressing the power button starts the fans run…

the heatsinks could have lifted from the cpu's during shipping, you could check that.

I'd like to see my workbench. It's buried under a metric flockload of carp at the moment. Click to expand... Is that a volume of birds or fish?

check for dust in the heatsinks. Also, you may have to reapply CPU Grease, that may be the main issues if it's not dust when there is overheating

All my 9500 woes were caused by the G3 CPU card, I must have reseated it 15 times before the machine eventually booted.

Totally been done already. Click to expand... :lol: Totally not what I have in mind. if anything MS Bob is pretty much what we have at the moment. I needed the laugh though. …

Good thing is that the processors aren't too expensive. http://cgi.ebay.com/PAIR-OF-APPLE-POWERMAC-G5-2-0Ghz-PROCESSORS-630-6425_W0QQitemZ270463905178QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCPUs?hash=…
