Anybody know of something similar that works in Leopard to enable the machine to drop to one processor?

Re: G4 933 Quicksilver
Hi Barney, Maybe you’re gently mocking the listers for always reporting all those problems? It’s true, the list doesn’t reflect our life with Mac in a balanced way, but then, I don’t think it’s supposed to. On the other hand, it could be refreshing from time to time to hear stories of G3-G5s running smooth, doing what we want them to do, thusly empowering our lives. I’ve a Powerbook 1400 with a G3 upgrade and OS 8.6 for simple stuff, with RAM-Mozilla mainly for email (including this list), MS Word 5, FileMaker Pro 3. When its RAM gets full, I have to reboot it, otherwise it’s always ready for a quick check or moment of inspiration. I have it in my living room, which is possible because it has no fan and boots from a CF card. I’ve typed an entire (thin) book on it -- true, part of it with an external ADB keyboard. Then a GigabitEthernet 2x500 which I use for all other things. It’s starting to boot a bit slowly now, because I can’t help installing more and more stuff. Otherwise it’s just there, doing all I want it to -- sometimes after some coaxing. Third: a GigE 450MHz (from a Cube) set up as a public computer running Tiger, with user accounts and browsers in three languages to accommodate different users. Running everyday with its old 20GB harddisk, it’s a modest but valued workplace. -- 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.

Re: Worth the added cost?
On Feb 23, 10:08 pm, Bill Connelly billycarm...@verizon.net wrote: I'm considering upgrading my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz, with a SATA PCI card (Probably Sonnet, since I cannot find Firmtek's). I put a SATA card in my MDD G4 recently. Card was $50 and the 2TB drives are now about $75 each. PATA was really limited and expensive. I remarked in another thread about not understanding a particular upgrade. Well, even though I own a Mac Pro, the $200 for this upgrade to the MDD was worth it for me. I use it as a server more than anything, and the best thing is that I am now getting drives that if the MDD dies, can be moved into the Pro. -- 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.

Hm, don't know if the estimates from www.everymac.com are spot on or not. Just throwing them out there FWIW. Apple iPod touch (Original) 8, 16, 32 GB Specs Original Price: US$299, US$399 Est. Current Retail:US$100-US$200 (The original 8 GB iPod touch was offered for US$299, the 16 GB was US$399, and the 32 GB introduced February 5, 2008 was US$499.) Apple iPhone (Original/EDGE) 4, 8, 16 GB Specs Original Price: US$499, US$599* Est. Current Retail:US$125-US$200 (*The 4 GB version originally was US$499 and the 8 GB version was US$599. On September 5, 2007, a mere two months after it shipped, Apple discontinued the 4 GB model and dropped the price of the 8 GB version to US$399. On February 5, 2008, Apple introduced a 16 GB configuration for US$499.) No doubt the smaller device is much more portable. But it's also slightly more expensive than freeware at least from my perspective. @John Carmonne, Which of your Macs where you thinking of enhancing to function as an egg timer? ;-) Just curious. -irrational john -- 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.

22 pin power supply
I think I have found a source for a replacement power supply. Does 22 pin mean the number of wires that comes off the power supply? Otherwise the markings on these power supplies are identical to the markings on the power supply in my DA.
