Re: what is this card....
Thanks for all the feedback. Having gained access to a certain document, I can confirm that it is the modem. The loose wires are there to attached to the bluetooth and airport cards.

Perhaps picky, but just to avoid confusion that would be an RJ-11 jack.

The g5 tower never had an internal modem from Apple. g3 and g4 towers did have one as an optionbut not the g5 or intel towers. If you wanted dial-up, you used an external usb modem (I've got one here in the MacBook case in the event I ended up needing it somewhere on the road). I'm not sure about the g5 iMacs? *From:* Doug McNutt dougl...@macnauchtan.com *Date:* October 26, 2011 7:44 AM *To:* g3-5-list@googlegroups.com *Subject:* what is this card Perhaps picky, but just to avoid confusion that would be an RJ-11 jack.

Re: what is this card....
That's funny, my G5 has an internal modem and it was shipped that way from the factory. System info says it is a jump modem version 1.

Sorry, but I strongly believe you are wrong! According to Mactracker the first 3 generations G5 all had an intern modem: 56k v92. The G5 (Early 2005) had an optional 56k v92. The last G5 had an optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A).

Fwd: Re: what is this card....
That's where the bluetooth card usually goes. The one in the picture is the right size etc. for a bluetooth card, but I can't see enough detail in the picture to match chips/labels to what is on my g5 dual 2.7. If you aren't seeing the bluetooth symbol in the menubar, try going into system prefs and checking for bluetooth to make sure its turned on. Note that the bluetooth relies on a short round 'antenna' on the back of the machine. If the antenna is gone, that would limit the range/usefulness of the card even if it works? Airport cards would be horizontal under the metal 'shelf' and just above the top set of ram cards, inserted from the open side of the machine toward the socket on the motherboard with an antenna lead plugged into the end of the card. If the card is there, try turning it on in system prefs/network. It uses a T shaped antenna dongle on the back of the machine...so if the antenna isn't there range would be very limited? *From:* Jonathan Smith jonathan.newcas...@gmail.com *Date:* October 25, 2011 11:32 AM *To:* G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com *Subject:* what is this card Howdey Group I have just acquired a G5 Powermac 2.5 GHz (june 2004). I booted her up and was intrigued to see if it had either the airport extreme or bluetooth optional extra, system profiler reckoned not. On inspection of the inside, I have found a rather small card, screwed onto the MB which looks suspiciously like a wifi or blue tooth card. It has two black wires, one looks like a typical wifi antenna you find in a laptop 9with connector), the other is more substantial and looks like a bluetooth antenna, with a connecter that has a 90 degree bend in it. Neither is connected to anything and wrapped away neatly. Here are photos of the thing http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n57/jaydentaku/photo2-1.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n57/jaydentaku/photo1.jpg I have searched the number on the card, but it returned no results.

I think the card you're looking at is some type of dummy card that fills the spot the real card uses. It likely has few or no chips on it, and simply completes some circuit? If you get the real card, it will have connection points for those two antenna wires, but you'll also need the two tiny antenna that fit on the back of the G5, a stubby Bluetooth, and a T Airport antenna. -- 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.
