I think you're right. That one would likely be a much better choice. I checked the casing on mine and it looks like the usable space inside is about 6.5" long, by 4" wide, but 2" tall. The EPP-400-27 appears to be 5.00" L x 3.00" W x 1.38" H. You think the 27V would be OK given the Cube is...

Yeah, I ended up following the guide that picture is from: https://www.edretrotech.com/2021/02/power-mac-g4-cube-power-supply.html Works well, but not an original look because the PSU is too long to fit inside with the 3d printed extender. My fit wasn't perfect, so I have some white...

I have the 21" version. Great monitor. I believe I read somewhere that the 21" versions were less susceptible to dying. I could be wrong. Mine is great, except for the amount of space it takes up and the weight of moving it upstairs.

Are ceramic capacitors non-polar? Is that why there are no markings for positive / negative?

I picked up a non-working Powerbook G4, 15" recently that was said to have damage to the power port. When I plug it in, I got a light on the power port, so I was hoping it was something easy, like a bad power supply. Unfortunately. it would still not power on, so I took it apart to make sure...

Yes. Installed from the CD image burned from archive.org (5.0.3 Pro PPC and Intel: https://archive.org/download/BeosVersion5.0.3IntelAndPpc). I had to install it on an external BlueSCSI on my PowerMac 6500 because the CD wouldn't work in the TAM. But I then took the image and successfully used...

I picked up this Mac SE a while back because it had a Radius Card installed and I'd really like to add video out to on of my Compact Macs. Unfortunately, I have no portrait CRT to go with it. When I first got it, I tried plugging it into a VGA adapter into a modern display and I got some video...

OK, finally got my HDMI scaler. Unfortunately, it appears my HD died in the meantime. So I threw a 6.0.8 image on a BlueSCSI. I still get the Radius image on boot, so the ROM appears to be loading (I assume that's what it means) version 4.1E. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to...

Plus be. I misspoke when I said I had a 6400. I had a 6400 back when they were new. My current machine is a 6500/225. Could be differences with the 275 and up boards. Did you take out the larger l2 cache? Edit, man I really need to better inventory my machines. I do have a 6400/200. I...

If by "1st gen" you mean the original Tangerine / Blueberry version in 1999, it is definitely not that keyboard (I have a blueberry and the blue is much darker). So maybe from a 1st gen graphite (SE 366MHz)? That's the one color I'm missing at this point, so it could be they used that color...

Yeah, all the pictures I found online appeared to have the blue lettering shown in my second picture. I'm guessing the yellowed on is the original from the 466MH lime version.

I don’t know if they’ve been swapped, as I bought both second hand. My indigo 366MHz has blue accents (see first picture). The lime 466 MHz has the same blue accent color, but the keys appear to be significantly less translucent (see second picture). The line keyboard is also significantly...

OK, so apparently I looked at pictures and it seems that the Lime iBook didn't have lime lettering on it's keys. Can anyone with a Lime iBook confirm? I may swap the nicer keyboard from my Indigo into the Lime one since they appear to be the same.

Anyone tried retrobrighting the keys / keyboard on the iBook G3 clamshell. Finally got my hands on one of my holy grail machines, a Lime 466MHz iBook. Unfortunately, I didn't notice in the pictures, but the keyboard seems like it might have been pulled from another machine (Indigo maybe)...

FYI, I uploaded my images to the garden. Let me know if anyone uses them and if they work for you. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/beos-503

Sorry, I thought that was the official place - it came up first on the search I made... :(

You should just download a pre-made image (like the 6.0.8 boot disk found here: (Edit - removed my link - see @eric 's official location below. ) Upload that to your RaSCSI (after unzipping it), mount it, and when you boot you Mac Plus with the 6.0.8 40MB drive mounted and attached, it should...

Let me know if you want me to post my HD image. If you have a RaSCSI or some other way to load an image onto a HD, you can test with my exact install.

@eric , I have been able to get my BeOS disk image working fine on my RaSCSI. However, while I originally was able to get it to work in my BlueSCSI (external version, running the firmware with CD support), my TAM no longer will boot with my BlueSCSI in the external port. Nothing looks...

Couldn’t figure out the l2 cache size in software. But took some photos of the board installed into the cache slot. Did a search on the part number on the underside of the cache and it looks like it's the stock 256k card that I believe came with it.
