This is for the Late-2005 G5s, so it might be a bit different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqENizr_B-w Anyway, once you’ve got the right ASD disc ready, you should be good with the swap. Just a hint: try the ASD disc before you do the swap, so you will see if it boots and works. It has a built-in diagnostics, like AHT (Apple Hardware Test) which might have come on a disc with you Power Mac. So you can diagnose the Mac before you do the swap, just to check 1) the Power Mac and 2) the ASD disc. (But be patient, the diagnosis takes about an hour or more…) Just out of couriosity: what were you going to do with it if you hadn’t found the ASD disc? (Now that you have a link to the ASD discs at hand, you will certainly do the swap allright… so it’s more like a theoretical question…) I’d be happy to hear if it worked out!
