    Leopard Sorbet on iBook G4?

    TDM works really well - great option. I still mourn the loss of TDM in modern iterations of MacOS. Anyhow, I typically split the drives on my portables so had a 2nd partition (b) to restore Sorbet to within DU from leopard 10.5.8 on partition (a) on my ibookg4. Took iirc around 30 er 40 minutes...

    How do you do the vintage feeling for the daily tasks?

    Hmm, I suppose old kb/ms & monitors alongside old machines & OS. I’ve always been a fan of amplified aftermarket audio interfaces and sound, so those are used on most machines and most that I have are early-mid 2000’s era stuff. That aspect of my setups are definitely important to my vintage...

    Very cool. I completely understand. My musical existence has effectively been on hold for the past 5 years as kiddos arrived & family took presidence. I too have gear squirreled away in all sorts of places through the house but primarily my office, den, and garage. Most of my instruments are...

    I built a compost corral out of old plank pallets and door hinges. Worked like a charm for composting last years leaves into this years mulchy deliciousness. I hadn't considered using pallets as table tops though. Might consider that if I need to expand work space in the garage. What did you...

    Is this attached to a recording studio? I see what looks like the back of a mixing board tucked away on the left and a standup piano tucked away on the right. This space definitely makes me a little jealous. Very well done! 🍻 Well, I was actually drooling over Drake's big air craft carrier of a...

    Adding a system/cooling fan to iMac G3 DV

    I added a fan to the 9000 heat sink in my quick silver g4 and that fan is held in by zip ties. No shame in your game. They work scarily well if that's what ya got.

    Hot Sauce fiends?

    On a side note, I was at an International fiery food show many years ago and the hottest hot sauce I ever tried was brought in by these two German chefs. I told them after trying their display/table offerings that I liked them because they didn’t kill my pallet & I could taste them - would make...

    Hot Sauce fiends?

    Mmmm I like hot sauces. Our fridge staples include sriracha & Chile garlic paste for Asian fare, Cholula & Tapatio for eggs & Latin/Mexican fare, Tobasco, Texas Pete’s & Franks for fried chicken/catfish or eggs/biscuits n gravy & Trappeys for burgers, hotdogs, grinders/hot Italian sammies -...

    Confit Garlic

    Very nice - Two fantastic products. My typical application of confit is after the cooking process is completed, I whirl the butter/oil/garlic confit in a blender (while still warm) and emulsify. I then pour the mixture into a tub and that goes into the fridge to chill. The end result is a...

    Confit Garlic

    I absolutely love garlic confit - so good and a fridge staple in my house. I usually go for equal parts butter and any neutral mono unsaturated oil I have around. I have never made it with smoked salt (which I have alot of) though. Will have to give that a go - sounds dee-lish.

    PowerMac G5 boot chime but no video out

    Its not bad to take those apart, clean, repaste and reassemble. I'd say a 20-30 minute job between the two with the right tools. It's a big PITA if you dont have drivers long enough though. I wonder if you turn the case on its side so the weight of the heat sinks (and gravity) are pushing down...

    You could try and boot into Apple system diagnostics ASD 2.5.7 https://www.macintoshrepository.org/28403-all-apple-hardware-test-aht-apple-service-diagnostic-asd-disks See what the diagnostic results say. Also, did you try and boot into verbose mode? Seeing where in the boot cycle the machine...

    PowerMac G5 boot chime but no video out

    Hmm, so the dualCPU 2.5ghz a1047 is the 97fx processor and has PCIx. The A1117 Quad core 2.5ghz has 970MP processor and has PCIe. First things first, did you try the dead card that it came with in another machine to see if it is in fact dead? Obvious things Id do is visually inspect the video...
