Finally got around to hooking this all up. I was a little to aggressive in my thoughts of adding 14 drives to the CD bays. It seems 8 drives plus cabling takes up most of the space. No other real room in the unit to add more, but I still have the motherboard SFF-8087 that would support 4 more...

Try it and see if it cures your bluetooth issues or not. I am assuming you only use the mouse with one computer at a time... and when you turn on the VPN on that computer, then mouse disconnects?

Under Preferences->General, make sure "Allow access to devices on the local network (such as printers and file servers)" is checked?

I am assuming there is one more layer of aluminum/black film that will come off the back of the screen (the black tape square typically holds the screen cable to the screen PCB). The back of the panel is typically white, and should have some barcode manufacturer labels on it. Actually after...

Try pinning 4 to 11, and put the diode between 7 and 10. Or maybe that SuperMac needs some work on it's internal analog board (recap?).

I bought a Dual G4 1.0GHz MDD from Free Geek Minneapolis for $10 before the PPC 2024 Challenge. It never powered on. I built my own ATX power cable adapter and I got it to power but never chime. I just purchased a dual 867MHz mobo/daughter from eBay and swapped it out. It booted fine. The...

When you boot into 10.3 with the FW drive attached, and go into startup disk, does the FW drive appear as a valid boot drive? Is your partition scheme APM, MBR or GUID? It probably should be APM for PPC macs.

Marchintosh 2025 I pulled out the my second cMP3.1 and removed the optical media drive. This will be a cage for 14 2.5" drives. I already have an Areca ARC-1680 IXL 16 with 3 internal SFF-8087 connectors and 1 external for raid expansion. This cMP3.1 has a Bluetooth in it but no wifi, so I...

My Marchintosh project is an expansion of my "Getting Sas'y" with a cMP3.1. I hope to finish it up this weekend before the end of March, with total of 18 internal drives.

If you are going that route, why not get the one with audio injection so you can use the speakers in your TV / Monitor? https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Converter-Compatible-Projectors-Monitors/dp/B0B15FLN9K

Not my work, but this was mentioned on MacRumors... thought I would post it here for Retro visibility. AI on a 20 year old PPC.

Great job! Congratulations on your first 3D modelling project, I am sure you will make many more!
