    I Need Help Getting A Video Signal To My G4 MDD Using An ATX Power Supply.

    I'll probably do that this weekend, as I'm too tired now. :ROFLMAO: But yeah-if it works, I'll hold onto it as a spare. 🙃

    I Need Help Getting A Video Signal To My G4 MDD Using An ATX Power Supply.

    Something interesting happened...just for chuckles, I put back the original video card and tried once more with the ATX power supply to see what would happen. In the past, I'd hear the start-up bong, but no picture. This time around, the same thing happened as in the video-no bong or picture...

    I Need Help Getting A Video Signal To My G4 MDD Using An ATX Power Supply.

    Top photo: old video card (top), replacement video card (bottom). I just installed it in the lower left photo. Now to install the power supply and everything else, then test the MDD with a boot-up.

    Today's my day off, so I've started the double-transplant (power supply & video card) now. I'll let you folks know how everything goes.

    My Art Reel-I'm New To iMovie

    When I find time, I'll check it out. Video making will be more of an occasional thing for me, as i want to focus in writing, drawing and photography.

    When Was The Last Time You Dumpster Dove? :)

    Years ago, a friend and I met up with this guy in Central New Jersey (USA) and he had A TON (probably literally a ton, LOL!) of computers that once belonged to NASA-a bunch of Macs, Suns, and I think some SGIs. We filled just about every inch of my friend's VW van with computers; it's amazing WE...

    When Was The Last Time You Dumpster Dove? :)

    Question: what about schools, when they decide to do upgrades? How difficult is it to get your hands on computers from them?

    I Need Help Getting A Video Signal To My G4 MDD Using An ATX Power Supply.

    Action Retro's video was pretty useful. As I said-I did hear the start-up bong, just no picture. The old PS is temporarily back in the G4.

    Carelessness With Data When Computers Are Tossed-An Experience From The Early 2000s

    In the early 2000s I had an interesting experience. Riding my bike in New York City, heading back to the train station, I saw a Power PC 7200/120 that had been tossed out. By some freaking miracle, I managed to carry it under one arm while I rode my bike back to the train station. That was NOT...

    He told me he was able to get most of the bookmarks from his last back-up, but alas, he lost some things. 🤷‍♀️

    Who's Going To VCF East (Wall Township, New Jersey)?

    I'll definitely be there. I drove to the Trenton New Jersey computer show (I haven't been to that in almost 30 years). Steve of Mac84 told me it had turned into a rather sad affair, which unfortunately was true. I did pick up a $25 Windows laptop, but the keys are acting a little funky. When I...
