Hi Group ,
I need to replace or get to HD in my iMac.
Is there a service manual or instructions 
for this?
This is the iMac with round base.
Thanks

Try Fastmac.com and look for the install disc for eMac. They have both the cd 
or DVD disc to install Tiger. I have the disc and it works perfectly. Good

 So how much does a set of retail Tiger install media cost these days?
 Where would one look for it?
 
 The ones on eBay seem to cost more than I'd prefer to pay. I am
 looking for a price closer to just shipping. I'm not eager to
 encourage her to put more $$$ into this machine since all the software
 is slowly but surely walking away from it.

Re: bootable firewire sata enclosure

Hi,

I have this one, boots my dual 1.25 MDD:

I put in a 500 GB SATA drive and I use the second partition as music
library connected via USB to my netbook.

Best regards, Jörg.

 I have been very happy with the IcyDock that I own, sorry I can't give
 you the model number.

 The old standby is to look for one with an Oxford 911 chipset, which
 will apply to FireWire 400 enclosures. The Oxford chipset for FireWire
 800 enclosures has a different nomenclature.

If this site is correct, then I would expect the Quicksilver G4
supply to be easily modified to work in
the Audio Digital G4. This is what I`m trying to find out.
 I have a G4 Audio Digital 733 which has a  failed supply.
 If the Quicksilver G4 supply can be modified, I`d like to
use it. If not, I look for reasons why.


It's easy IF you have the Molex (USA) Inc special tools and access to
Molex (Japan) Ltd pin housings for the Mini-Fit Jr series.

Fry's Electronics sells the pins in bags of 100.

If you have, say, a 24 pin housing, then you may cut it down to 22 pin.
Obviously, the reverse is not possible.

A possible source for housings is old PC PSUs. These use the same Mini-Fit
Jr series as Apple does, but a different configuration (20 or 24 pins).

Try Digi-Key for the pin housings. Also the pins and possibly the tools.

Or, your friendly Molex distributor.

OutOfSpec.COM - Cut the red wire or the green one?!

2011-04-01 Thread Gene Henley


This is what I thought! What confused me was why so many forums
on older Macs seem to avoid the question.I don`t have a Quicksilver
supply yet. I`m searching ebay. I think the Quicksilver has a four pin plug
that the Audio Digital does not have. So, I won`t use it. It probably 
supplies
power to the processor in the Quicksilver G4. PS. I also have some ATX 
supplies.

It's easy to remove the purple +28V wire from a QS PSU, you don't need
special tools. You just need 2 heavy duty sewing needles; push them in
the sides of the pin to compress the lock tabs and pull the purple
wire out, shazam! you have a Digital Audio PSU!

 Through a proprietary procedure using our inverse tetra-grammatron phase

PSU specs for Apple Airport Snow White Dual Ethernet M8440?

2011-04-01 Thread iJohn
I've been looking for a USB modem that will work with the most recent
versions Mac OS X. I have a friend who currently uses the dial-up V.92
modem in her 800 MHz eMac for Internet access. I'm trying to plan
ahead if some day she moves to a Mac platform without a modem.

One suggestion was to not use a USB modem but instead go with one of
the earlier Airport base stations which included a modem.  So I
checked out what was available on eBay. Apparently it's common to sell
the Snow White Airport aka Dual Ethernet M8440 by itself and NOT
include the power supply unit.

From pics I've seen, I think that the M8440 uses an external PSU which
supplies 12V DC and at least 0.7 A using a center positive connector.
Can anyone confirm any of that?

I have no idea what the size of the connector may be. Heck, I don't
even know how to TALK about the connector size for these adapters.

(I usually just use trial and error to try to close in on the right size plug.)

That's what the label on mine says: 12VDC, 0.7A, center positive. Mine came 
with a 1.25A third party brick, so anything 12V above 700mA will work.

Thanks, Bruce. Guess I'll go back to the eBay jungle and poke around some more.

12V, hm. Maybe it's time Google up those sites which explain
how to morph a PC power supply to accomplish another task. I've
probably got some for an AT motherboard which are never ever going to
be used again for their original purpose.

RE: New Addition For My Tool Box

2011-04-01 Thread smac0031
I went on a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters when I was a kid. The
outfitter was selling quart cans of dehydrated water. All you had to
do was pour the contents of the can into a container and add a quart
of water. Just the sort of compact provision you need for a canoe
trip.
