Use a sharp edged tool like a small chisel to score a nock from the

hammer and the edge of a flat blade screwdriver to drive the damaged
screw around and around until it comes loose. Be careful placing the

You might want to use the chisel instead of a flat blade screwdriver
since it already fits the nock you made.

Be sure that any screw that you use as a replacement has fine threads
instead of coarse threads.

 I would go with the PPC PowerBook. I had a 1.83GHZ Core 2 Duo macbook
 and sold it for a PB 1.67GHZ High-Rez. You can get soo much more out
 of the powerbook:

 PowerBook 1.67GHZ

 DL Superdrive
 FW 400, 800
 DVI out
 S-Video out
 Bigger Screen

 Most of these things, the new macbook won't have. Granted the macbook
 will be faster, it just won't have as much features as the powerbook.

  I'm reasonable sure that Apple has never said anything officially

  widely speculated that PPC will be left behind with the release of
  Snow Leopard. As far as I can tell this speculation is based on two

  removing the PPC code. However if they wanted to they could make a

Re: Hard drive plate and screw (and more screws)

2009-05-31 Thread PeterH


On May 30, 2009, at 7:54 PM, Arnel Tuazon wrote:

 I just noticed that the G4 Gig-e Mac I have has a problem with 2 of  
 the hard
 drive plates.  You know the metal plates that you attach the hard  
 drives to
 and then in turn attach these plates inside the bottom of the G4  
 case.  Each
 plate has one screw that keeps it in place inside the case.  I  
 noticed that
 the screw for 2 of the plates has been damaged.  The head of each  
 screw has
 been damaged to the point where no screw driver bit could ever  
 snugly fit
 into it to allow you to unscrew the plate.

 Anyone know how to get the screws out?  As of now only the center  
 hard drive
 plate can be removed the others are stuck with the damaged screw  
 heads.

The rear-most drive mount, the one which accepts two drives in a  
stacked configuration, requires special thin head screws.

The screws themselves have a #6-UNC thread, which is a coarse thread  
(UNC means Unified National Coarse; there are indeed UNF threads,  
Unified National Fine).

The threads are NOT fine, which on a Mac generally means M3-0.5,  
metric, 3.00mm dia., 0.50mm thread pitch.

Optical and Zip drives are the only drives within the desktop and  
mini-tower series of 60x, G3 and G4 Macs which are mounted using  
metric fasteners. The hard drives are always mounted using #6-32 UNC  
(Imperial) fasteners.

These thin head fasteners are quite special, and were made for Apple  
to its specifications.

The single-high drive carrier can use conventional head #6-32 UNC  
screws; it is only the two-high drive carrier which requires the  
special thin head screws, and even then, these special screws are  
necessary only when mounting the drive from below.

If mounting the drive from the sides, then conventional #6-32 UNC  
screws may be used.

Now, the drive carrier itself is mounted to the base of the mini- 
tower by screws which _appear_ to be the same as the drive mounting  
screws, but _these are not the same_; these are M3.5-0.6, metric,  
3.50mm dia., 0.60mm thread pitch.

M3.5-0.6 fasteners were adopted by Apple in 1984, with the  
introduction of the very first Mac, the 128K.

However, in the very same year, 1984, the M3.5-0.6 fastener size was  
abandoned as a standard by those countries which endorsed, or  
mandated metric standards.

Consequently, most M3.5-0.6 fasteners are custom made for Apple. No  
one else that I am aware of uses M3.5-0.6 fasteners in their products.

Historically, M3.5 is just about the same diameter as #6, so an M3.5  
fastener has just about the same shear strength as a #6 fastener.

However, in the post-1984 metric standards, there is no standard  
fastener size between M3 and M4, and M3 has too low a shear strength,  
while M4 has too great a shear strength, for many mounting applications.

Hence, although it may be archaic, from a metric perspective, to  
use #6 fasteners for hard drives, this size is still the standard,  
world-wide.

Now, as to the PCI/AGP/PCI-E card mounting screws ...

The world-wide standard is also #6-32 UNC.

However, in order to keep its products as all-metric as was  
possible, Apple deviated from the card mounting standard and used  
M3.5-0.6 fasteners there, too.

Just a variation on what ron said:

I used a hacksaw blade (w/out the saw) to carefully saw or file a groove in the 
offending screw that fastens the drive carrier to the floor of chassis. Be sure 
to use a damp paper towel or vacuum to remove any metal fillings.

This was on a BW but the same would apply to a G4. Then I used a flat blade 
screw driver to loosen the screw. In this case was I was able to reuse the 
screw as long as I did not over torque it.

I'm assuming you are referring to the screw that attaches the the drive carrier 
to the floor of the G4.

If you can't  save the bunged screw you may be able to get away with some other 
screw with the appropriate diameter and  pitch without the special thin head 
design as Peter so precisely described. I seem to recall replacing such screw 
with a flat head or maybe a round head screw and to my surprise it allowed 
enough space to mount the drive with little or no problems. I could be wrong 
about this but it may be worth a try.

Or, if you are not moving the G4 around a lot just a piece of duck tape may be 
enough in lieu of the screw. Be sure to use the super stick variety (locally 
know as EB Green) but available internationally under many other names. --glen

Re: Can Camino bookmarks be exported into Safari 4?

2009-05-31 Thread tonycd

Ernie, it grays out Safari -- whether it's running or not -- so I
can't choose it in the Where box.

No idea why.

Camino 1.6.7
Safari 4 (which Software Update keeps trying to serve with the same 19
mb update over and over...?)
10.4.11

Hi Tony;

Try this:


 From Camino export Bookmarks to Desktop.

Use Safari to Import file from Desktop.

HTH,
