I recapped my G5 iMac in 2005, it was pretty easy to see all the caps that were swollen. I believe there were some on the motherboard as well as the PSU. I don't think Console5 has any recap kits for G5 iMac, so you would have to find appropriate caps elsewhere... you may be able to get by...

I did linear video editing for years in the late 1990s before everything went digital. I have used iMovie and Adobe Premiere in the past as well. I downloaded DaVinci Resolve earlier this year to do some image stabilization on a video clip. I went to the Total Solar Eclipse but did not have a...

Forget about using SATA/IDE adapters if your drives are already SATA. There should be two extra SATA ports on the motherboard. Check my thread here for some pics of a MacPro3,1 about adding two SATA drives in the optical area. See these two ports with the red and orange cables?

Hopefully someone helps you out, because these prices are insane!

Works on OSX, not on OS9. Tried both versions of USB floppy drives I have, neither works on os9. But, success for mounting a 3.5 floppy 1.44MB internal on a QuickSilver machine!!! No floppy in drive: Floppy reading: From my Mavica Floppy camera 1.44MB disk: In OSX 10.4.11

Here is my 3D bezel for a USB-floppy. STL files linked here I am not sure if a standard 3.5 floppy will fit in the small hole available with the eject button being so far from the slot. Remove the blank bezel and see how narrow the slot is. Here is the USB faceplate snapped in, with disk...

I adjusted the height of the USB floppy with a 3D printed bracket, so I have the correct height, but I need to bring it forward so the manual eject button protrudes enough to eject a disk.

Those don't look like USB floppy drives, those look like standard half-hight internal drives. As I said before, there is no controller/adapter for these types of drives. I was under the assumption you would use your USB floppy in the drive bay and connect to the internal USB port on your PCI...

I disassembled an IOMega drive, and mounted in the default holes in the 3.5" bay under the optical. The drive is about 0.25" smaller than the width of the 3.5 bay. And its much lower than a typical drive (slimline). So, an adapter will have to be created to mount it higher.

Attach some photos of your floppy, maybe I can design one. I have IOmega 31062400 and SmartDisk FDUSB-M models that I can compare to.

You do not have to flash a floppy drive. They are mechanically made to read and write certain formats/densities. It varies greatly. I don't know if an IDE to Floppy controller exists, because old computers came with separate controllers, one for floppy and one for IDE. The very easiest...

Possible... maybe... I am not guaranteeing these exact pieces are compatible, but likely are. Find a ZIP faceplate and mount for a quicksilver, then find an internal LS-120 Super disk, then find an ATAPI to IDE adapter. Then you should be able to mount it under the optical drive and connect...

USB external 1.44MB, but if you are trying to use 400/800K, probably not.

Golly, I haven't seen a wire wrap tool since the 80's!

I picked up a very nice iBook G4 1.2GHz from Craigslist for $25. Screen is clear and bright. Drive is dead, but it boots from a FireWire external. So this will get upgraded to an SSD for PPC Challenge 2025.

There are lots of Youtube videos out there on 3D printing, here is one from Instructibles. Good luck!

When I converted a couple Macintosh Classics, I had an additional damaged tube (tip broken off) and I used that as a form to melt my plexi/acrylic. Put the tube in a vase, stuck it in the oven, let the flat plastic get soft. Took a couple tries to get it right... (G5 airflow plate...

I don't know of ProtoWeb and WarpStream work on system 7. View the video from this post.

Back in the early 90s, there was PageMill, that would split a graphic for you and make items clickable... but I think it is rather crude by today's standards. WordPress has a bazillion plugins and is like using a 747 for a paper airplane contest. With the advent of HTML5/CSS and all that they...

Well this is a bit odd... maybe something I will look into for the PPC Challenge 2025. Not that I really want to run WinNT, but it sure is an oddity. Windows NT for PPC
