Just remind us in August 2027 about G5tember so we have a little time to prepare next year!

Welcome! My suggestions would be to investigate the black blob on the CPU card near the capacitor C6. If you can verify the CPU speed, and clean (very corroded) the speed jumpers at J16 and make sure they match the CPU speed (typically 233MHz). Remove the red block (bump on the end...

OpenEmu is great for consoles and arcade roms, but not specifically OS9. I have always liked SheepShaver, although sometimes getting the settings correct is a bit tricky.

This was my first year, so I was just scoping it out to see what I could possibly do for a display/sale. Next year, possibly a van or trailer to haul stuff out there. 6 hour drive for me.

Perler bead projects The Back to the Future time device. And I got a 16 bay 2.5 server from the free pile. No drives, missing mobo, but the backplane for the SAS drives will go into one of my cheesegraters.

I didnt get a group photo.

Its still early on day 1. @eric @geerlingguy

Here we go! See you all tomorrow!

What are the specs of the G5 in this video (there were soooo many variations of the G5)? [edit] Saw at 8:20 G5 Dual Core 2.5GHz (single CPU).

I used the fan from the back of an intel iMac in my Beige G3. See this post. Mine is a G4-450 overclocked to 533MHz.

I never liked the AGP tabs... if you have a screw on the io plate, it should stay in place fine without the tab. Some motherboards have what looked like a clip that went around the entire AGP slot. I am not sure if that is even removable (likely some tabs at the lower edge of the connector)...

There is this thread https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/powermac-g3-plastic-part-collection.4897/.

Sorry, that one is messed up... let me try to rework it. [edit] Try this one.

I stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis again today, and dug through the scrap again... well I found another PrairieTek 240 (with the metal cover vs clear)! This one has the Molex power cable and wires tagged. 5V line was broken off, but I can solder that back on. Controller board seems to have...

I got a couple off eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/156313799163

I stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis today. They have a $1 scrap bin for things that are unknown or get tossed aside. I pulled a couple Sony 3.5 floppy drives from that bin over the last month. But today? A very strange 2.5" hard drive with a clear cover on it, with warranty seals still...

I thought there was always a way to skip registration, unless the USB stick you created is doing some type of internet recovery. Is this the only Mac you have?

Well, if an iPad 1/2/3 at 9.7” is too large for a smaller print, we could try an iPad Mini 1/2/3/5 at 7.9”, but working controller boards are harder to find. I think this may be the only one. eBay for AbuseMark.

Thanks for those measurements. I think we still need to wait for word if the LisaFPGA can even output to 1024x768 over HDMI, as the documentation seems to show that it outputs full 1080p. Not sure if an iPad control board scales higher HDMI signals down to 1024x768.
