As an aside -- can I ask what that crazy icon is in the extensions list on boot? Is it some sort of fax software?

You might already know all this, but just in case... Color shift in just a corner of the display could be a gauss issue (magnetic field). Make sure the built-in degauss coil is connected since you've had the computer taken apart previously. It's connected to analog connector BP2 according to...

That was a really fascinating document. Thank you so much for sharing it. You can tell that the people that worked on this really cared about the user experience. I am thankful that yellow and blue ended up sharing the same finder. And that blue did not end up running in a window.

With all the retro stuff that has come out for older Macs, like replacement ROMS, power, supply adapters, etc. — I’m surprised no one has made a firewire thumb drive. I have so many old Macs with unused fire wire ports. ☹️

Pretty sure the combo Wi-Fi and Bluetooth board in my G5 iMac is failing. Wondering which USB dongle you might recommend to get the best performance that would still work under leopard? Thanks in advance.

That dock on the right looks familiar. I believe this was something that was worked on for Copland at one point. There was even a third party shareware implementation you could download (though I can't remember the name of it).

What a great link! Bookmarking this one for later.

I love these things. Such a cool "futuristic" device back when it was released. The docks have a tendency to fail, so I hope you are successful in repairing it!!

Copland didn't have "extensions" that would load across the bottom of the screen.

I find that the newer style silver & white Apple USB keyboard looks great with the old silver and white G5 iMac. Found a used one at a thrift shop, but a lot of the media keys and other functions don't work. Wondering if anyone has had success getting the special function, volume, and media keys...

Try googling "duo dock tick of death" -- there should be some good info out there about rebuilding the dock power supply related to this search term.

I've been wondering if the original AppleTV box would make a good MAME machine. Seems like all the parts are there, including OS X and video output. Is there bluetooth support on the first gen version?

How's the Orange Micro card working out with the G3 accelerator installed? I know that installing the Sonnet USB/FW card will cause lockups with their G3 card unless you apply a manual EFI patch. I'm wondering if the Orange Micro works any better? I've currently got an ATA to CF card adapter in...

Cleaning the power contacts inside the sub supposedly fixes the buzz for a while, but then it comes back. I dunno that replacing the caps would fix it considering this problem happened when the TAM was brand new (unless you're replacing a cap with a different value?).

I'm interested in this as well. I've got a Quadra 950 I'm trying to rebuild and I'd love to be able to just drop in a cheap power supply from another Quadra or use one of the ATX conversion kits. I'm not planning on tricking it out with a bunch of drives -- just a single bluescsi or something...

I adored my PB G4 back in the day. A very well designed machine.

I did manage to find something that appears to work when an app bombs in the emulator. It's called "bomb shelter" and it's by Ambrosia Software. It patches the normal bomb dialog and adds a continue button. It doesn't work for stuff that's caught in an endless loop/watch cursor, and doesn't add...

There was this one that was actually a promo for a brand of beer that was well done... http://macintoshgarden.org/games/roll-m-pinball

Try mounting the Recovery partition (since that's where you saw it) and look in the same places suggested, but on that partition. https://superuser.com/questions/354827/how-do-manually-mount-hard-drive-on-mac I'm not sure which OS you're using, but if it's an oldie, you can also try this...
