    What is this??

    Earliest I can find on Wayback Machine is 1998, products for early PPC machines. So my guess would be a TV tuner card for Pre-G3 machines, like 7100/8100? Look at the back of this 6500, looks like a tuner card similar, though I am unfamiliar with the slot connector internally. Another back...

    What ZIF is this?

    Are there any resources out there with all the makes/model of G3/G4 ZIF processors? I just bought a B&W tower with 350MHz processor, and it went to 400 fine in OS9 and 10.2, but when I took it to 450, os9 was fine but osx did not boot (as expected). I bought a cheap ZIF on eBay that the seller...

    Making a crutch for a 23" Studio Display

    I have the other end of this problem (hinge replacement). My hinge is fine, but my acrylic kickstand is broken. Not much left to hold on to I removed the excess to make room for a metal shim so the screws can hold on tightly. I used some flat sheet aluminum and a bench vise to bend it. I...

    Passed on this Free Geek Bondi-Blue iMac set for $120. Heading down to Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday 5/3 to pickup a B&W G3 tower so I have a mother for my baby. That will complete my set of 'one of each kind' of rounded Powermac towers. I had to 3D print an opening tool for the tiny pull ring.

    New Toy: Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 Pro)

    That would be the first guess, then if it doesn't stop, flip-flip and re-enable the HID compliant mouse and disable the PS/2 mouse.

    New Toy: Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 Pro)

    What are the options in BIOS under "Onboard Devices"? Otherwise boot into Windows and pull up Device Manager, and find and disable it.

    Whats the most useful thing you've 3d printed?

    Does anyone have a photo of the bottom of a PowerMac G3 Blue and White? My 3D model is based on a graphite/sawtooth, so I have no idea what the bottom really looks like. If I can make a computer this small, why can't Apple (M4 MacPro, come on!)? Even enough room for a spare 2.5 drive. I...
