The one about Macintoshes with 680x0 processors. "Modern" PPC on isn't terribly interesting, especially with OS X >10.2/any cross-platform Unix. Just run an x86 box, less ha…

It is detecting the drives. I dont see what the problem is?  the IBM drive may need formatted. Also, you will need to change its SCSI ID back to 0, but that wouldnt stop the drive…

Well jeez, then you'd be just running Ubuntu on crustier hardware. Whoop de doo.

I need your help because the new drive I bought still isn't working. Here is what I get from Apple Personal Diagnostics with the old (above) and the new (below) drives: No name…

PPC hardware.

I reckon I would have got my Colour Classic in 2000 too. Picked it up for free from my local library when they upgraded to a Windows PC for the 'word processing' room, haha. Mine …

Is the objective of this challenge to use the PPC hardware, or use retro software? My Dual 1 GHz MDD G4 running Lubuntu 14.04 PPC is a competent machine. Current mainline builds o…

Cheers mate! Yeh the CC with the QT sticker was owned by my godmother since it was brand new... got handed down in the early 2000's with a bunch of things. Still have the warran…

Cool thread, I'll be keeping an eye on this one every now and then. I like the idea of keeping a running 'conquest' thread. Add to it as you inherit/purchase or otherwise discover…

Latest addition to my towers of power collection... a sad and lonely, long forgotten Sawtooth 400. Quick PMU reset and it runs like clockwork. I havent decided what to do wit…

Thank you! That's the video part, which is faulty. So I have to look if there is a short circuit.

That's fine.  I was just curious.

"far to the right" Do you mean the left or right picture (upper or lower side of the board)? "size cap" In my experience many forums reduce the size of uploaded pics, so a reduc…

Is there a size cap on uploading photos?  It's not a big deal it's just somewhat awkward to keep downloading. Also, your board's main damage is surprisingly far to the right.  I'v…

OK. Thanks! So let‘s see… BTW: Here's a new version of the Kanga logic board pic with some labeling. Could not edit the old post. http://www.mediafire.com/download/cb2726zofow…

I agree with ianj (and Cory). And when I tried to use a Kanga indefinitely it was just flatly impossible given the need to interface with modern networks (of which I am not the ad…

Totally possible, but slow. When I interned at the local newspaper office where I wrote articles on a Mac mini powered by a G4 processor (it was the original MacMini from 2005.) Wh…

Well... remove the corrosion and see what happens.  If the vias or traces are bad then that poses a bigger problem.  But again - my board did not originally have video, and washing…

Thanks! I'm sure there is something similar. Scrubbing Bubbles for sure is copyrighted and therefore is imported directly from the U.S. That makes the price. But what to do w…

It's the ammonium chloride doing most of the stripping. Got alcohol (methanol) and a benzene also doing their thing. And a Base (probably a Calcium based lye) adding to the strippi…
