Oh no I found another iMac G4 that I need to save. No one else seem to want these.

The very rare 42" iMac G4 Pro

(This was cheaper than fixing the display😅)

This thing is screaming just trying to open a 7zip archive. lol. CPU has been pegged for a few minutes.

So, I don't own anything older than a G4. But I think for #Marchintosh I'm going to attempt to get Basilisk II installed on the G4 and then install System 7 from physical media. Just checked all of the disks and they all appear good in OS X.

The iMac backlight is still out, so I'm using an external display.

The screen went out in the iMac awhile back and someone ripped the screen off of that MacBook before throwing it in a trashcan. So, now they both share this monitor. 🤷😅

As much fun as it is to maintain cursed setups made from garbage, I would really love to get the G4 fixed. And the appropriate keyboard would be nice to have at some point, too. I can live without the mouse. 😂

I scroll though Facebook marketplace and see someone selling a iMac G4… for like $15 because it won’t start up

This iMac G4 lives to sing for another day! 😄

Love how Apple put the power supply information on the side of the mains cap in this iMac G4 power supply

A timelapse of our LED-filled iMac G4. It’s kinda blinking so photosensitive people beware.

Back to the #iMacG4 (unfortunately with a non-functioning monitor) that someone found in a Chambers cupboard and gave to me (bless them eternally)...

eBay has furnished me with a mini-VGA adapter. I may have to daisychain it with an HDMI adapter, since I don't have a VGA monitor. But maybe, just maybe, I can get it up and running this weekend... then an LCD replacement may beckon.

Projects, projects...

Installation d’un ruban de LED sur une pyramide de carton (boîte de céréales recyclée), et découpage de la carte mère pour continuer à voir le processeur Motorola PowerPC G4 par la trappe de l’ancien lecteur optique (mais faire de la place à l’intérieur pour le reste).
Nous avons ajouté un diffuseur en mousse translucide.

Usinage d’une pièce en PVC pour la visser à la place de l’écran sur le magnifique pied chromé, et coller un chargeur MagSafe.
Je n’ai pas de photo (@ombremad ?) de la galère de plusieurs heures pour sortir les câbles du pied, puis se résoudre à l’ouvrir en ayant très peur de l’abimer, ou de perdre un œil à cause du ressort énorme qui gère l’équilibre.

Premier test après avoir tout vidé : utiliser l’entrée alimentation en y connectant une prise standard, et y brancher une lampe. Et ça fonctionne donc on va pouvoir y ajouter… une multiprise. #ApplePorn #iMacG4

Je suis très fière de ce projet – et reconnaissante de l’aide et des idées de @ombremad ❤️ : nous avons passé trois jours à transformer ce vieil ordinateur cassé hors d’usage en un magnifique chargeur MagSafe lumineux.

Plus de photos à suivre. #ApplePorn #iMacG4

OK. Someone's given me an old #iMacG4. I know, I know... antediluvian. But it's beautiful.
Thing is, screen isn't working just now. So I'm desperately seeking a mini-VGA adaptor so I can plug in an external monitor and at least have a play.
Anyone got one - or know where one might be?
