Old PPC mac turns into an ethernet storage device.
Is there a way to use an old G5 power mac as an ethernet disk? just like you would use an ethernet attached hard drive? no monitor, keyboard or mouse.. I know I have to have an OS on it, but other than that, nothing it needs to be seen on the LAN as a ethernet disk???

Re: MDD just shuts down by itself opinions please.
If the clock reset itself, it's very likely the Pram battery is gone. This shouldn't make the Mac shut down, thou... IMHO. I used G3, G4 (not MDD), G5, a G4 Powerbook, with a dead battery eventually, and they all worked fine (save for the clock thing). Most likely thing, outside the Mac, could be a power shortage. Maybe so short you didn't notice lights flickering or the like, but long enough to make the computer switch off. Unless you have a working UPS, of course. Inside the Mac, the only thing I can think of, is a faulty power supply. Or, the power cable isn't properly seated (when people clean around computers, they often pull cables and cords...). I've tried a new PRAM battery, PRAM reset, pushing the cuda switch.. this clock will not stay set. what next? I wonder what else would cause this? as far as the power shuttin off, I'm still trying to recreate that...

Fan with molex on full speed Cap-i-ton?
simple question I think. I've got a MDD here on my desk, would it suffer ill affects, other than noise, if I unplugged the fan (CPU) from the connector on the logic board and went straight to the molex connector, plugged into the 12v side and ran that bugger full tilt? can it be done? can I run this MDD too cool? hmm... I have a 120mm silenX fan that's ultra quiet at full 12v puts out some wicked air I'm thinking of putting the MDD in a somewhat confined space (closet) what say you?

power supply - power on?
Just curious here... on power supplies that are installed in PC's there is a bright green wire that can be connected to ground source making the power supply always on. is there such a wire in the MDD power supply that when grounded, does the same thing? and if so, what color is it?

Re: What form factor is the Airport Extreme card?
On Mar 14, 2011, at 10:55 AM, peterh...@cruzio.com wrote: Just curious here, is the Airport extreme card a mini-pci card? will it fit into a mini-pci slot? has anybody tried this? The Broadcom cards which are sold for use in Dell laptops are indeed Mini-PCI cards. For use in a desktop Mac, you would also use a Mini-PCI-to-PCI adapter card, one which also included an R-RMC connector and cable, and an R-SMC antenna. All of the required components can be obtained from eBay sellers for about $10. The correct Broadcom card is a 4318, and the description says it works in Dell and other laptops EXCEPT for IBM laptops. (Perhaps IBM laptops of that vintage were already using PCI-e or Mini-PCI-e cards which Broadcom also makes and some of which may be used in certain desktop and netbook Hacks).

The cowl probably just makes certain air doesn't recirculate around the edges of the fan giving slightly better cooling efficiency, perhaps damping the noise a little too? The direction the fan is in the bracket says to me the airflow is going the wrong way? that's assuming that the bracket is installed in a similar fashion as the stock fan in my MDD Something else... what do you suppose this guy is talking about? Apple's Solution--Does It Work? After releasing the MDD's successor, the quieter G4 FW800, Apple made a retrofit noise kit available to MDD owners. It comprises a new Papst fan (Multifan 4212H, 12 V, 5.3 W), a new power supply, and a good set of instructions. The power supply looks the same, but presumably has new fans. It has been derated to 360 W, down from the original 400 W. I should point out that this mod kit does NOT include a fan cowl such as is used on the FW 800 machines. This means the coupling of the fan to the heat sink is still not very efficient. the phrase I should point out that this mod kit does NOT include a fan cowl such as is used on the FW 800 machines has got me wondering what this guy is talking about? got any ideas?

Optical jumpers?
When using an optical in an external enclosure, what should the jumpers be set to? Master, slave or cable select?

If this is some kind of IDE external enclosure then the setting is dependent on what it is connected to it This is the enclosure I'm using: http://www.deltrontech.com/PDF/0502/E5.pdf I had the drive (Pioneer 118L) with the jumper set the cable select (left it that way after pulling it out of the G4 MDD it was in previously) And for some reason, I'm guessing the jumper setting, when importing a CD into itunes not only took what seemed like forever, but the drive spun up rather strangely?? Then after Daniel and others told me to set to Master, I needed to use handbrake to import a movie to iTunes and was pleasantly surprised when it took a pleasing 16 mins to encode! If my itunes CD import works as good, all is great in my world!:-) Jeff Engle -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

How to change the optic drive name ?
Is there a way to change the name of the optical drive? let me see if I can clarify If I have multiple optical drives connected to my mac via external enclosures, when using the eject in the menu bar, what I'm given is simply the name of the drive, which in my case say's something like this: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-118L What I'd like it to say is, something like Drive A denoting the drive in it's hierarchy. So, anyway to do this? Jeff Engle -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
