    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    It is odd. I think i will reflash the card and see how it reacts - will research additional roms as well to see if there is a better option I missed the first time round. Right now I've moved onto my Quicksilver (using that now) but will circle back to the revb B&W and that 7000 this weekend...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    I am a glutton for punishment. I located the PCI rage gpu and reinstalled it. Instability has disappeared. I have used this across multiple mozilla based browsers with zero issue. With the OG gpu, it also benched higher so the flashed 7000 is definitely suspect. *spoke too soon. System has...

    PowerMac G4 MDD Power Supply

    Powermac MDD ATX converter cable I think the cable is a pretty elegant solution to a problematic PSU in a MDD but the thing about the ATX mod is that you lose ADC power, so if you use a ADC cinema display, you'll need to rethink that monitor or grab something like a a1006.

    Toilet Running, no visible float

    I assume your toilet has some sort of Fill valve assembly. On the top of the valve there should be a screw that you can turn clockwise or counter clockwise to increase or drop the water fill line. Any way to snap a pic?

    Got wrong hard drive for my iMac G3--is there any hope?

    Well, the drive they sent you is sata (Serial-ATA) and what your imac needed was a pata (parallel-ATA) drive. IDE and PATA commonly refer to the same 40 pin connector thus can be used interchangeably, so assuming you requested either a pata or ide interface from an auction that specified...

    Got wrong hard drive for my iMac G3--is there any hope?

    You’re looking for something like this. Quite a few listings on eBay as well. StarTech 40 pin pata to sata adapter. You plug the sata side into the hard drive and the ide ribbon cable plugs into the 40 pins pata connector on the opposite side. Connect molex power & set the adapter to master...

    Got wrong hard drive for my iMac G3--is there any hope?

    You want a 40pin pata/sata adapter with the Marvell 88sa8052 chipset. Most commonly folks order the red starTech units for best results. They’re about $20 USD.

    Looking to upgrade my G3's hard drive to a bigger one and need some basic advice

    For slot loaders the limit is 128gb for boot and storage, for earlier trayloaders, storage is 128, boot is 8gb. This changed/increased when Apple disco’d the HeathrowATA controllers in the Trayloaders for KeylargoATA controllers in the slotloaders. and no worries - only reason I recall this was...

    Looking to upgrade my G3's hard drive to a bigger one and need some basic advice

    I’d boot into the installer CD & partition before installing. Tiger would be a great choice as it introduces non destructive partitioning. Under utilities drop down from the install cd you’ll find the partition tool disk utility that you can use to partition the new drive prior to OS...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    This was the flatscreen trinitron I got from my folks when they upgraded to a big flatscreen projection TV. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-lGLiMDHbd8q/p_15836FV26/Sony-KV-36FV26.html I liked that TV a lot too (had an awesome picture) but I am a nut for that 80s wood grain so always think back...

    Christmas traditions?

    That sounds delicious and inviting. I’m sure visitors were happy to visit and this made memories that will last a lifetime 🙂 I did the same and thought back to when I was a kittle kid and the traditions of my family. They were of German immigrants so we always had pfeffernusse, various forms of...

    Christmas traditions?

    I am not a crazy hot chile guy nor is my wife. Now her folks and family on the other hand eat absolute fire. I do like a tingle and agree that you need to get the capsaicin to really experience the flavor of the Chile but don’t understand the penchant to destroy one’s pallet with atomic, face...

    Christmas traditions?

    Neither. I use these 🙂 Actually, I really like my wife’s uncle Mike’s Chile. It is super flavorful but last couple years he’s been growing fresh green Chile vs taking the time to mature & dry red pods. I can’t begrudge the guy though as he’s 82 this year lol. But my build is simple: toasted...
