has anyone seen any other installation instructions (for a 1st gen iMac) other than the one at "theimac.com"? The ones there are a bit complicated and the pictures are somewhat sm…

I think there may be instuctions on www.imac2day.com dunno though...

I upgraded to a Maxtor 13.6GB and the iMac (bondi A) won't boot from it. I find out later that Maxtor made some drives that won't boot Macs. They format fine and allow file transf…

I just upgraded my iMac DV to a 30 Gb Maxtor, 7200 rpm. I'm going to monitor the temp over the next few days to see if there's any difference. To transfer the files I just took t…

I'm looking forward to getting out of school and finally having some time to pop my mac open for the first time, take a look inside, and install the new hard drive. I read some re…

I don't know about the earlier iMacs, but my DV model was a snap to swap the HD on. There are detailed instructions from iMac2Day's website which I followed, but I skipped everyth…

I'm not worried about the temperature, considering that I have a fan. I must admit, I've never completely installed a hard drive on my own before. I would assume that the master …

The master/slave arrangement works like this: There can be a maximum of 2 devices on one IDE ribon cable. New drives come with instructions on how to configure them to either mas…

It is possible to have two hard disks at the same time as the cd rom drive in Rev A-D iMacs because the original HD and CDROM are on different IDE busses. Each IDE bus can have two…

what about temporarily connecting a second hard drive - just to transfer the files - while the imac is disassembled? Is that a bad idea, considering that all of the parts would be…

What happened to www.imac2day.com? PLEASE HELP I just bought a hard drive today, expecting to do this. Last I checked this site was up, but it was a while back. It had the exa…

Wow... so funny that a full year after posting this thread, I get a reply in my email. Also funny that after all the advice I collected, I decided to forgo the process of putting …

I was thinking the same thing but couldn't be bothered painting the darn thing. It's pretty white anyway and didn't wanna mess anything up. Think I'll just get the 740i panel and l…

Do you know where to get the 740i blueberry panel? I couldn't find the blueberry one because it's a default when you buy the 740i.

Call epson and tell them that you need a replacement because you got paint on it or maybe cracked it they will probally ship you another

yes, you can splice two digital audio cables together to get a y-shaped caable that would hook up both drives. just don't ever try to use the audio from the two drives at the same …

Before you ask, theoretical max temperature (according to Motorola) is 180F, but I'd maybe start to worry at around 155F-165F. Stay Frosty!

Hey Cal, this is my advice. Ok, I am NOT trying to be rude, so dont get mad or anything, but right now you dont really know anything. Like.... at all... so here's what I would d…

Won't work. The beige G3 has no support for 2.88 MB floppy drives. It might work in some Quadras; they had support for 2.88 MB floppy drives in ROM (but only had physical 1.44 MB …

Good to know. Thanks!
