This is very useful data! I'd also be very curious how the SE's original "squirrel-cage" fan performs in comparison to these axial fans (thermally--we already know the noise situation is not good!)

FWIW, QEMU seems to be more straightforward to set up on macOS, at least as far as networking is concerned-- I pass this param to QEMU (removed my configured MAC address): -nic vmnet-bridged,model=dp83932,mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,ifname=en0

I have a 250GB OWC SSD in my 2003 G5 and it works without issue. Certainly seems like something is up with either your drive or the SATA controller. Do you have any other SSDs or Mac-flashed SATA controllers available to test with?

Is it possibly a standard 8.0 with a custom boot splash?

IMO, it depends a bit what you're looking to enable with JS. If it is primarily UX enhancements, one option is both--implement all of the functionality in HTML, so that as many browsers as possible can use it, but then also layer on some JS that would improve the experience for those with a...

I have been battling a fragmentation issue for quite a while and this is what ultimately resolved the issue for me--many thanks! I went and updated the BlueSCSI wiki page with this info; surprisingly it seems that anyone can edit these pages.

The VGA adapter I use is of the style of "the leftmost one above". With switches 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9 in the ON position, my IIci has worked well with every monitor I have tried, including several Dell UltraSharp models and a ViewSonic VG720. I do have a Dell UltraSharp 2001FP that was mentioned...

Nice, I'm a heavy ProtoWeb user but I had never heard of WarpStream until now!

I read through the notes on the Garden regarding what is changed from vanilla 10.4.11, and to be honest it seems to basically be a package of several already-well-known tweaks wrapped up in heavy marketing. I plan to continue manually making the tweaks I prefer myself, but for someone new to...

All this dual G5 talk makes me want to take another shot at fixing my dual 2.0 :) I've tried swapping the logic board, GPU, RAM, and PSU, and it shows absolutely no signs of life (no LEDs, nothing). I wonder if I also have a CPU issue...

I use this IDE to SATA converter on my G4 Sawtooth with an SSD and it boots 8.6, 9.2.2, and OS X without fuss :)

I've released a pretty substantial update to Message Bridge, timed for use during this year's PPC Challenge! Here's the improvements: URLs in messages are now displayed as clickable links (except on the 'lite' client) Image attachments are resized to a thumbnail on the modern Mac, which makes...

Oooh, this is super useful! I’d love to test it out.

Mac OS X hides OS 9 from Startup Disk if the machine's "compatible" property in Open Firmware is set to "MacRISC3" (which it is set to on all machines that are "X only.") Presumably this is to prevent confusion after installing a system folder for Classic. You can change the "compatible"...

Another happy recap customer :)

New: Added a JavaScript-free "lite" version that allows accessing iMessage/SMS from very old browsers and text-based browsers. Who needs a phone when you have a Macintosh SE? :)

Maybe its cheating, but lately I iMessage the YouTube link to myself and open it with PPC Media Center.

Released an update today that really improves performance on slower machines (among other fixes). Works well on Mac OS 8.6 using iCab 3.0.5 Classic :)

Since I am a heavy user of the Messages app on my modern Macs for iMessage and SMS, I wanted a solution that allowed me to send and receive messages from friends and family while using my retro hardware. I found a few different solutions for this while perusing the web, but nothing I found...

Awesome, this has codec support for viewing videos sent via iMessage!
