Try the SSD back under the optical and see if it boots there? I have seen some really weird behavior with sata/ide adapters. Some of it may be bus speed related. I think the bus is 33MHz and maybe your adapter can't run that slow? You may have to look at flashing one of those SATA Raid cards...

After you power up, hold down the left shift key and do not release it until the desktop is loaded. That should be safe mode with no extensions. If it boots fine that way, then there has to be something corrupt in there or some offending extension. The original HD was a fully functional install?

There are two ATA busses in the B&W G3. If you don't have a ZIP drive under the optical drive, try putting your SSD in there (assuming your adapter has a master/slave jumper). You may have to try a few different options with the 4 pin jumpers (Toshiba for reference, may not apply to your adapter).

Good thing I already backed up the entire Internet onto a thumb drive.

Oops, I did it again. Another stop at Free Geek Minneapolis and I found this 3,1 for $5. Says chimes but no video. Even an empty case on eBay is going for over 50 dollars, so I can't say no. No hard drive, 4 x 1GB 800MHz PC2-6400 FBDIMMS, Nvidia 8800GT 512MB. Removed video card, fans...

Here is my suggestion: Try the internal SSD with the original optical drive disconnected. That is what was holding me back. My optical drive was a little sticky to begin with, so I replaced it with a slimline slot-load SATA drive from an old iMac. Another SATA->IDE adapter for the optical...

When I lived in the Caribbean for 7 years, I also used a freight forwarder from Miami, FL Four Star Cargo (which also did mail forwarding, called "The Mailbox"). They would sometimes put the cargo in the mail forwarding spot (same physical address in Miami) and try to charge you mail postage...

Lets say for some reason you are refinishing your case and want to disassemble all parts beforehand. Getting that latch off is kind of tricky. I googled and didn't find the answer... but I finally figured it out. The top hinge pin is held in place by a friction mount held in place by two...

Spent some more time with the 2,1 and 3,1 this weekend. Upgraded the 3,1 from 2.8GHz to 3.0GHz for $12. Previiously flashed the GTX 770 for Mac boot screen, and got OCLP to install Ventura (2nd time). More RAM coming next week. Flashed and old HD 4870 for Mac boot screen, installed wifi...

Lots of opportunity existed in the past for the HUP (Home Use Program) as well, where you could get a copy of office for $10 to use at home if you used it as an employee of certain agencies. Nowadays, it's only 30% off.

What version of Word are you running on your iMac (and what OS version)?

In LibreOffice, there is "save as" (the default LibreOffice document is .odt) and you can choose which compatibility you require (including .docx).

Which Generation are these instructions for? I have Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 devices.

Stopped by FGM this afternoon, another MacPro1,1 for $5. ??? They had two 512MB dimms in one riser. I replace with two 4GB and it booted fine. I guess I could start using them as furniture.

I really love Free Geek Minneapolis. I grabbed a $10 MacPro1,1 a while back, and within the last month grabbed a MacPro2,1 for $5. Both were listed as projects with issues. While a 2,1 is technically the same as a 1,1 with just an updated firmware, EveryMac lists them as separate platforms...

Have you checked the eMaculation forums?

Where can I order a male/female of this? Anyone have a part number? I probably want wire to wire connectors, not hole/solder or surface mount options. I want to add a power tap for a couple drives, but I don't want to mod the original parts. Apple TV Gen1 internal power connector. 1 row of 6...

Specs say 24-inch model with 3.06GHz processor 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive So it should support the 1TB SSD. Verify the partition scheme is set to GUID.
