I saw this listing from Wisconsin Craigslist... $7K for four shelves full and more! Listed as "may or may not work", looks like about 80+ machines, not all Apple, but still less than $100 each.

Since this is my first iPod Classic Gen 3, I did not know you needed the 12V Firewire to 30pin charge cable. So I will have to order one or build a hack cable just to charge it.

I found a craigslist ad for an old iBook G4, Mac Mini, two iPods, and lots of accessories for $100... when I got there, they seller had already sold the two computers for $60, so I took the remaining two iPods and accessories for $40. Gen 1 scroll wheel (charging) and Gen 3 dock connector (no...

A Google search for Yamaha GT 80 results in lots of stuff from early 70s up to 1980. I never had a motorbike either. Looks like your are in for some fun!

I picked up a dozen 27" and other misc 21-24" machines in a garage clearance. 21 computes for US$150. So, yes, I am working on all those failed GPU issues, and looking at using a couple with dead motherboards as monitors only. There are much cheaper control boards from eBay/AliExpress.

I have an old 15" that I gutted over 10 years ago for a Hackintosh project I haven't built yet, long before I decided to become a collector. I have since acquired both a 15" and 17" which are fully functional with SSDs installed. While I like this idea of the Juicy Crumb kit, it seems cost...

I work in Waite Park on Wednesdays... and stop by Free Geek on my way home to Stillwater.

Welcome! Here are three places to check out in the Twin Cities (the are lots more than three, but this is a good starting point): Free Geek Minneapolis I go every week, and usually find something to take home, whether a discount project computer or something from the free shelf. Ax-Man...

It should be a standard JAE connector it its using the adapter board.

3 treats this week! #1 Free Geek Minneapolis They had this PowerBook G4 sitting there for a while... listed as broken hinge (I think it is just stuck), dropped from $25 to $15, but extra $10 for the power cord. So total was $25. Keyboard damage. Corners damaged Hinge 12inch 867MHz...

BundleHunt lets you choose your own apps at a discount price. Sometimes they have some good utilities available for recovery and repair.

Looks good. What about one of those SD card extenders for the front floppy slot? or maybe a full size USB floppy (are they even supported in emulation)?

I have an iMac12,2 with a 4TB drive and 13 versions of Intel MacOS from 10.6 to Ventura. OCLP rules!

I have two classic MacPro3,1s... and I have some old SAS drives laying around. I thought it would be a fun experiment to try to get a SAS controller put in to use the drives. Non-Apple of course, because of the horrible reviews on it. I found an Areca ARC-1222 on eBay, and got it delivered...

Here is a link to the disk I was talking about.

Do you have any other G4 machines with FireWire that you could boot in Target Disk Mode, or external Firewire Drive you could boot from? Early CD-Rom versions of Apple Toolkit used to have TechTool Pro on them. White disk with a stripe of red.

I have been messing around with bus speeds, and overclocking the G3, and attempting to resurrect the G4 ZIF, so who knows what really is the answer.... These tests were on a stock rev1 motherboard 350MHz G3, bus at 66, multiplier 5.5, so 366MHz. I should put the bus back to 100MHz default and...

Just found this thread claiming all JMicron 20330 are trash. Having no luck with mine on the B&W G3. Yes, I can boot from a mechanical drive, format and copy to SSD, but it won't boot. I will have to see what other adapters I have that are not JMicron 20330 based. This thread claims you cannot...

Fresh on eBay, 2nd mortgage anyone?

Well, if you google long enough, you can find the answers. Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but a better answer than you have right now. I managed to find this page that talks about the B&W bus speed settings. So I was able to lower the standard 100MHz to 66MHz and did some...
