    Finally added an eMac to my collection... time to model and build miniatures at 48 (not printed yet) and 22 percent (photo side by side). Old speakers from an old 2006-2008 iMac will work great for the 48 percent size. Experimenting with speaker grille hole sizes.

    G4 Cube revival help?

    You may have to disassemble those original DVD drives and lubricate/revive the rubber roller. Or abandon them and install a slimline slot load from an old iMac. See this thread.

    G4 Cube revival help?

    Here is a maintenance manual. It does not sound like yours are "flashes" as they are defined as 1/4 second. If it is slow pulsing, not sure what that could be. Two Flashes: No memory is installed or detected. Troubleshooting: Make sure the RAM is securely in its slots. If no memory is...

    Beige G3 desktop CPU fan

    I have a beige G3 Desktop. Stock CPU was a 266MHz G3. I found a G4 400-500MHz zif in a Blue & White G3 that would not boot (Free Geek project purchase). I was able to get the G4 to 533MHz and it is stable. It does get quite warm, so I thought it would be best to add some active cooling. I...

    G4 Quicksilver successful rescue

    Stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis last week and found this Quicksilver $10 project. Labeled "Won't boot to any external media, For parts / project HDD, RAM removed $10" I can't say no, so I took it home. I threw in a single 256MB DIMM and a mechanical hard drive from another old G4 and powered...

    2009 iMac slot load CD into a Cube

    Yes. You may have to make some adapters to align the mount holes. I have mounted a SATA slot load thin drive from an aluminum iMac into my cube with a SATA to IDE adapter. if you have a 3D printer, see attachment for slimline/laptop style slot load drive.

    Card Retainer Baffle - PM 7600 / G3 - photo request

    I am still working on the files, but I have printed the 7600 (should be the same as 7300?). And if you need the internal kickstand (Chassis Stand), I have that too!

    Card Retainer Baffle - PM 7600 / G3 - photo request

    My 3D printer is an Ender 3 Pro, so limited to 8x8x8 inches. I had to split this in two and add a seam. I was pondering gluing them together, but after printing I remembered that I have some threaded inserts, or I could use nuts. I may just soldering iron in some knurled inserts. I printed...

    iMac G4 doesn't chime once I took the HDD out.

    The iMac G4s use a regular Desktop DIMM internal on the logic board, and a SODIMM that is "User Accessible" by removing the bottom base plate cover.

    Managing your collections

    Just trying this out now... Some suggestions: 1. Optional interface colors. When in light mode in system preferences, I get black text on dark gray which is very hard to read. To get the version I see in the screen shots here, I have to go to Dark Mode in system preferences. Personally, I am...

    Important question, Can I use a single pump if one LCS pump is broken!!!!!

    I did find some other threads in google of other people using alternate pumps (other part numbers), but I have not seen anyone convert a dual pump to single pump. In theory it should work as long as the pump can keep going. @HrutkayMods has several G5 videos on Youtube about converting LCS to...

    Card Retainer Baffle - PM 7600 / G3 - photo request

    I recently acquired both a PM7600 and Beige G3 desktop with very brittle plastics. Both internal Card Retainer Baffles were damaged and missing pieces. I know they don't really do much, but I would like to have the part for completeness sake. I am generating a 3D model that I will share...

    MFM Floppy Drives?

    Sounds interesting... let us know how it goes and I may try to duplicate. My G3 DT currently has a 450MHz G4 in it, overclocked to 533MHz.

    Cpu0 and cpu1 help needed.

    Cpu0 and cpu1 help needed.

    The link I provided is a DMG, as well as this one... but if you have PowerISO, it can burn a mac DMG file on Windows. It does not need to be a CD, it could be a DVD, but it needs to be a format the that internal drive can read. Not all drives can read all media types.
