Yes, each logic board is keyed to the CPU speed. Pain in the rear, as you can imagine. Like 8 different PSU combinations too.

No. As far as I know, nobody ever made a PDS to dual NuBus adapter, and if someone did, you'd need an extended case, like the one you pictured. If you could run a second NuBus car…

Might be cheaper to get a dead one in nice cosmetic condition off eBay than to try and professionally hammer out all the dents.

Leopard flies on the G5, but obviously it's useless if you want to run Classic.

Yeah I agree. I have decided quite easily to make this now my main desktop machine and as you can see, cleared the desk for it. I am quite impressed just how easy it is to make thi…

Well, it kinda depends on if you want to run Classic, or just OSX as a "modern" computer.

So its not worth installing 10.5.x on a G5?

Well, since the newest G5s (including the Quads) were released well before Leopard was released, contemporary versions of Tiger ought to work, and indeed, EveryMac says that they s…

Yes - I did find that out last night as well. My G5 came with 10.5.8 installed.

Yes you can but the only supported version of 10.4 on a G5 (at least quad core) is 10.4.11. Anything else crashes and creates panics. Don't waste your Saturday like I did trying to…

No problem.  John from VintageMicros (http://www.vintagemicros.com/catalog/index.php) also sells small packs of appropriate feet - I can't find them on his site right now, but I kn…

You can run Classic Mode in OS X on a G5, correct?

Thank you david__schmidt!

Thanks, G. Solved it by creating a bootable flash drive and that worked well. Your solution would probably have worked too. (I need to also test my firewire cable, it may be defect…

You're looking for a 3M Bumpon part.  The main directory for such things: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/manufacturing_industry/specialty_tapes/node_GSH0V016W0be/root_GS…

with dual LCDs for $100. I may have been able to find a better deal, maybe I got screwed Click to expand... A pretty good deal, the dual screens are worth the $ 100 anyway

Can you simply reverse things, IE, put the G3 into target disk mode, boot the G4 off the install disk, and select the G3's hard disk as the install target? Last time I checked that…

The 9550 uses a considerably slower core over a 9600(pro) - 250Mhz over 400Mhz - but some cards had the ability to be software/hardware modified to beome a 9600Pro in the PC world.…

cute kitty!!

Yes it has a 90 degree adapter for C/Q 610.  Still not sure if I want to keep it for my C610 or sell it as a set.

You got a Q610 angle adapter? I think you'll be getting an email from Bunsen very soon. He was searching for one of those a while back IIRC. 

Oh wow I was literally using one about an hour ago.  Mines installed in a Quadra 800.  My hints are: Systems above 7.1 don't require the enabler You must physically turn off the …

I have one of these for my Quadra 605, just need to get it installed.  Only been procrastinating for 3.5 years!

660 is pizza box, too short for the card is why its not listed.  Although it works for the 610.  maybe the AV parts are in the way.
