If you have money to burn, buy as big as you can. If you are constrained by budget, but only as much as you need. What size storage do you have now? Do you need 4TB? I have 50TB of mechanical externals at my desktop, that I only power on when I need them, mostly for archive purposes.

I have a single Sil3112 dual flashed, and many Sil3114 quads that I need to flash. The 3112 is in a G4, I will have to test it in a B&W and let you know.

They are both 12" and I have ordered some generic LED backlights for them, and these mSATA adapters will go in. The iBook likely needs a display cable repair or replacement and I have spare display hinges for the G4 (case is pretty banged up). I assume the iBook G3 is a Snow, while the...

I did some more testing last night on some of my adapters... TLDR: The chinese red board is the only answer for B&W G3. I started by using a 120GB 3.5HDD and creating 3 equal partitions using Disk Utility on MacOS10.4.11 from another boot drive. I cloned the 10.4.11 to one partition, and then...

I visited the UofM recycle center and found some video adapters and this Apple BT kb at the cost of scrap. Pretty dirty, and baby wipes would not clean the grease, so had to resort to isopropyl alcohol. A dent below the arrow keys and a scuff by the eject button, but otherwise fully...

Does you D-Link have a USB port for the printer? I don't recall IP printing from OS9, but it's been a while. Is the printer shared from the Mini?

Latest updates on CF conversions of iPod Click Wheel Gen 1 and iPod Dock Connector Gen 3 I ran into difficulties and after a couple days of reading and trying things, I finally found the issue with the Gen 3. After restoring in windows iTunes, you have to wait for the Apple logo to appear...

If you have two oscillators operating at the same time, I think you would definitely have a problem.

By the looks of the photo, the pin1 indicator on the chip is traced to the square pad solder pin (all the other pads are round) on the top left (left photo), indicating pin1.

Found the video link from @HrutkayMods , it says 512MB and 1MB are flaky.

I recall reading a thread somewhere (or a @HrutkayMods video) that the 512MB DIMMs were rather flaky and it suggested NOT to use them. I will have to see if I saved that reference. Edit: found the video

So you are saying riser A had ram in slot 1+2 and riser B had ram in slots 3+4? The correct config should be both A+B with ram in 1+2 (closest to the edge connector).

Sorry, yeah, G5 will run with a single DIMM, but intel requires 2. OWC lists 1 in each if you are only using 2. But I have run them with 2 in either riser as well. Two DIMMs (standard configuration) One on the top memory card and one on the bottom card Four DIMMsFour DIMMs One pair on the...

I would try removing all but 1 stick of ram and see what happens. Possibly replace the thermal compound on the CPUs and the mid-board heatsink next to the PCIE slots. If you have access to an IR camera, you can see whats heating up. I have 2x 1,1, a 2,1 (1,1 firmware upgraded), and 2x 3,1...

There are 3 different water cooling configurations. @HrutkayMods has a lot of videos on the G5 series.

This week I did not get to Free Geek Minneapolis on Wednesday. So I went on Saturday (today). There was a pile of several SUN systems if anyone wanted to know. I still can't say no. There was another G4 project for $10, 'no boot, no video card, as-is' It has 4 sticks of RAM, I pulled them...

So I am guessing my battery is a dud. Ordered a replacement on eBay. I got it to recognize one time on iTunes, but the battery did not hold long enough for it to fully restore. Ran the scan on the HD, and it passed. I have an IDE/CF adapter on the way as well, so hope to convert to CF...

Apparently this is the result of charging it while on FireWire... I plugged into iTunes via USB-30pin and it sees the iPod and that it needs an update. I will have to let it charge fully and then try a software update or restore on it. Ordered the CF-IDE adapters to go solid state with it.

Update: received my FW-30pin charge cable today. While I was waiting, i disassembled the Dock Connector (Gen3) and found the blue rubber to be extremely sticky. It does not look like battery leakage, so maybe the rubber is degrading? or maybe too much glue on the tinfoil side? I cleaned...

I call the inner one the one near the center of the board edge, next to the power plug (hard drive bus). I call the outer one the one in the corner nearest the PCIE slot covers (optical drive bus). I am just curious if the green one you have would work on the other bus.
