Thank you very much! I was able to find the same parts on DigiKey, and put them into this list. The white and translucent ones have 10mm lead spacing, and the yellow ones have 15mm lead spacing. Judging by the condition of the translucent Rifa capacitors, I am replacing them at just the right...

I've had this external Rodime external 20MB hard drive with my Mac Plus for as long as I've had my Mac Plus. I was using it once a couple of years ago, when some sickly-sweet smelling smoke came out the back. Conveniently, there is a fan on the back of the unit that allowed for the quick...

With the 2026 PowerPC challenge having already started a few weeks ago, I feel like it might be a bit to late for me to join in. However, I still want to maintain my PowerMac G4, and although not a big deal, it is quite annoying that every time I open the side door, the latch makes a horrible...

There's nothing on the board with the slots, so I would assume so!

Exciting update! After playing around with it for a bit more, I realized it would be a good idea to look up the manual for the graphics card! it is an ATI EGA Wonder. I found the microswitch configuration I needed for the composite output, and set the switches to that, and it works! I get a...

Hey! Today I just got a Kaypro PC-30 for $25 dollars, and it appears to be in good condition. Where I got it, there was another Kaypro, a Kaypro 4, but it wasn't for sale yet. I know practically nothing about Kaypro PCs, but it looked cool and was a good price, so I bought it. Once I got it...

Update! I've installed GammaCorrector 1.1.1 from the Macintosh Garden, and it has worked really well to get rid of the green tint! In person, it still doesn't look perfect, and there is a noticeable green tint just a bit off of where the desktop is. However, I only spent a few minutes playing...

I actually just remembered that I have this thing, a Communications Specialties Inc. Scan Do Pro, that looks like it might be able to do the job. I'll have to try it out and see if I can get it working!

Unfortunately, adjusting the gamma does not fix that much for me. There are only two options for gamma: Mac II Std Gamma and Uncorrected Gamma, and it doesn't change when I hold down the option key and click on Options.... Even though it doesn't really look like it through the camera, selecting...

Ah, that is just a bit over my budget for this! However, would the "Mac Sync-inator" I found on BMOW work for this?

Unfortunately, my adapter doesn't have any DIP switches. Do you have any recommendations for a specific sync-on-green converter?

I just picked up a Gateway CRT monitor along with a Pentium 4 Gateway tower PC for four dollars total. I also got a NAD MR13 for free with no vertical deflection that I need to repair, along with a neat IBM PS/2 keyboard that was two dollars. The Gateway PC turns on for only a split second...

One day I was cleaning up, and realized that one of the latches on the top cover of my prized Brother EP43 word processor had snapped off! At the time, I couldn't find the fragment that broke off, but it looked somewhat easy to repair. So, I did the first most logical thing that came to mind...

Do you have another graphics card compatible with the G4 to try the Cinema Display with?

Finally! I got a BlueSCSI from JCM, preassembled. I believe it has wifi functionality, but I haven't tried that out yet. I was initially having some trouble getting my 2GB Microcenter SD card to read in it, but I think it was too old. I instead used a new 64GB SanDisk microSD card in an adapter...
