No idea. Mounted the small rubber shroud for the rear fan from the Quicksilver, as opposed to the plastic shield that holds the fan in the Digital Audio, and I've mounted a 120mm fan on top pointing out, Intel cooler style. I don't honestly think heat is the issue, but I'd like to at least eliminate it as a variable (or hey, maybe it is the issue, and I can prevent losing another night to fighting with yet another cursed G4).

Starting to once again lose my taste for playing with old Macs (though there's always the possibility that it's a side effect of the modified ATX power supply).

It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this solves it, and I currently have OS9.2 installing to the IDE drive. Wish me luck, lol.

That looks right.

I found a #powermacg4 tower at our local thrift/food/second hand hall. It was sold by the adult dvd store, for some reason.

Anyway, it followed me home and after reinstalling the OS to get rid of the prior owner's data I have to say there's not THAT much difference between #macos9 and #macosx

There was a changing of the guard today as I upgraded my 2003 PowerMac G4 to a 2013 Mac Pro. New office. New Mac.

Or, in simpler terms, ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony on my desk for a brief time.

When the #Mac was a "munition"
In 1999, #Apple unveiled the #PowerMac #G4, a machine that became pivotal in the evolution of personal computing and a landmark in #tech regulation. Unlike its predecessor, the aesthetically pioneering iMac, the #PowerMacG4 broke new ground through sheer power. It achieved an astonishing computational capability of 1 #gigaflop — a threshold that, under U.S. law at the time, put the device in the same category as exporting munitions.

Continued from a post regarding one of my all-time favorite ads (that oddly was a VW Jetta commercial from 2001) -- here's an Apple ad for iDVD with the same actor: Kevin Rahm.

Running Debian Wheezy on the iMac G4 PowerPC is DOA: it doesn't come with HTTPS installed and therefore is air gapped by protocol.

I didn't realize it before but the latest version that supports the PowerPC is Debian Jessie 8.10, so I am making an install DVD with *that* image and trying again.

Here comes Debian 7.11 on the iMac PowerPC G4. #PowerMacG4 #Debian

My little #Apple #PowerMacG4 with #MacOSX Sorbet :)

#retrocomputing #powerpc #DavidLanham #LaurentBaumann

I'm installing #MacOSX 10.5 Sorbet on a #SanDiskExtreme #SDCard connected to a SD2IDE Adapter on my new #PowerMacG4 MDD, atm :)
Now i need a solution to fix this tiny bit of a adapter board inside my Mac. I don't have a 3D printer so i must cut, glue and/or saw something. Any ideas?
