@Certificate of Excellence May guess is not the manufacturer or the size of the disk, then the SATA "backward compatibility". My G5 A1047 has a 1TB hard disk connected to the logic board's SATA controller. This disk works in any G4 I own. The SanDisk SSD is already 4 or 5 years old and the...

@Certificate of Excellence I finally did multiple tries and I can report, the SSD size OVER 128 GB is "not really supported" with the vintage PowerMac... What does it mean "not really supported"? It is up to your SSD's manufacturer, your SATA controller and your Mac's Logic Board and of course...

These disks are amazing, but after 30 years they can have lot of problems. First of all, your disk is reparable - in my opinion from far - based on the pictures. The burned out component possible to see on the high resolution picture on Wikipedia's page, the component is the C12 capacitor...

Yes, it is an A1047 with PCI-X Thank you so much for these lots of information! These are my temperature values: I will try all of it - as well the RAM slots reflowing. If I have to take a part and clean and repaste the U3 Memory Controller, I will have a look under microscope the memory...

I like your box-construction, could you please explain a bit more how/what did you do to build it? Is is completely closed during the procedure? Do you have reflective inside cover (to reflect back the UV light)? Why it is covered with plastic bag from outside?

I have a wired problem with my new toy, a PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 GHz from December, 2003. The machine arrived in an acceptable condition, sadly during the transport get damaged, the top rear handling have got a punch and released from the top line of the housing. It is "just" optical damage...

Maybe you can try acetone to melt the plastic (ABS) and glue the two parts together? Won't be 100% like was before but can be better than any other glueing method. I saved few vintage CRT Monitor housing with this way and last as it should. Could help here too.

Yes, you can use SheepShaver on G4 Macs. Use this link for downloading the pre-build ShepShavers https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7360 Use the Version 2.4 from 2014-02-14 and use the Setup manual and read the know issues at the bottom of Roland's post (the very first post in...

Very cool! Based on the pictures what we've got from @RetroViator and @lilliputian it is "much thinner" but that goes between the read/write heads. if it is less than a millimeter than it is ok. When you eject a disk from the drive, the upper head moves away from the lower head approx 3mm. I...

Same story here. That SE what I was talking about, was very badly handled in the last 20+ years. The front bezel was multiple places broken, pieces are missing from it, the main board was standing in some dirty water (the whole machine was stinky like a pub's toilette) and the hard disk was...

Just an interesting observation: I've spent many-many hours in the last years to "try-to-realign-the-bastard-floppy-drive" and I was able to "do" one very-very interesting situation: I had a drive (already out from this state) like you have two (!) logical disks on the same physical disk. More...

Thank you very much. Is the icon-resource creation bug fixed in this version?

@Branchus has a video how to fix the over-bended spring... at 39:09. Give it a try, maybe you can recue them. (Otherwise lot's of videos on YT about 800K floppy repaires) Branchus Floppy repair video Good luck! :)

I have a Radius Two Page Display - with the very rare ROM version 3.3 Does anybody have to original Radius.sea.hqx and the CL_SEA_PL.sea.hqx for the ROM version 3.3 Here https://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/radiuscards.html is only the content available - but the file's links are pointing to...

I have purchased this Radius TPD few weeks ago and just had a time to check today. I have no Radius TPD monitor, so I just plugged into my Frankenstein SE to see if it "does" something. Hard to say... what was the result... If you see the pictures, the menu bar is double thick and the font size...

Wow! Warm up time: 20 minutes to meet all specifications!!! Twenty. Minutes. Not seconds... minutes!

Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to create a new, freshly installed Pi with Bullseye, with all of the bells and whistles to finally have this also available for my vintage guys.

Grazie mille Paolo! Siete fantastici, lo aspettavo tanto tempo fa, visto che la descrizione di Larry Pina non basta per farlo senza esperienze. Grazie ancora, sei grande.

I just received my new toy a RADIUS Two Page Display for Macintosh SE. Together with the RADIUS MagicBus PDS board and the main board with the BNC connection pig-tale with the metal frame to fix it into the Macintosh SE. So to say the setup is complete. Only thing is missing the RADUIS Two...
