Re: SSD in a G5
Hello, While trim is not going to be supported (unless there is some third party utility) The SSDs firmware will perform the garbage collection without the OSes help. I was thinking about a velociraptor myself for a fast boot drive but what about a segate momentus hybrid SSHD? It caches reads and learns the most used programs like those used at boot. Writes are just the same as a spinner though. Not sure about the noise of the raptor as well as the SSHD will be faster assuming the firmware GC is up to the job.

I bought to use with my G4 PowerBook's while running MorphOS3.1 instead of MacOSX, as MorphOS3...1 doesn't have a driver for the PB internal wireless AirPort Extreme yet. The TP-Link having it's own battery gives me wireless internet for my PowerBook's without using any power from the PB battery, so this gives me more portable computing time. A cheaper solution is the NetGear WNCE2001-100NAR I also have the netgear and TP Link solutions above which plug into the ethernet port.

Re: How do I remove an OS from a computer?
From someone who used to work in recycling computers I would not delete the OS. The reason is that it costs a fair amount to buy the os to reinstall on the old hardware. Particularly if like the place i worked there is no Mac experience thus no OS disks. This results in the hardware going to the tip and a wasted computer :( Same with people destroying the hard drives adds greatly to the costs of refurbing the computer. The place i worked refurbed them for poor/disadvantaged people and prices started at £60 for windows machines. I never saw a mac come in when i was there but one did come in after i left. Delete your data and use a overwrite free space utility. I dont know of a mac one since i have only used Windows ones.

I replaced my Delphi after two rebuilds and one Power supply with the later model Panasonic, it's a much better built unit and easy to service if needed. is there any easy way to tell which LCS I have on my G5? The easy way is to look at it with the G5 cover off and if it has copper tubes it's a Panasonic. The top of the processor has the name. Plus not all the Delphi's will leak but it's a real problem with these machines. If you need one rebuilt you can do it your self or Brian at DTT will do it cheap. http://www.dttservice.com/ Thanks for the archive information, it looks like i will have to ask a seller on ebay to take a photo of the inside to determine if it is the more reliable Panasonic. Unless i pay the extra for a mac dealer refurb but they are a lot more expensive than those on ebay when i was looking for my g4 mac mini. This is in the UK so YMMV.

Could be, if there is high demand for the Panasonic with the known cooling issues.

A good ups is expensive with APC the brand that is used in schools and colleges. They cost something like £250 in the UK and so are a one off purchase in which you purchase a new battery.
