A Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm is still likely this weekend. First G4 since 2005.

The source has been a large, complex sunspot cluster (NOAA Region 3664) that is 16 times the diameter of Earth.

Crazy to think a Raspberry Pi 4 demolishes this dual-G4 1.0 GHz system... and using less than 1/10th the power.

A Pi 5 goes even further, and a modern M-series chip is like 100x the G4's performance!

Still a fun system to play with. #mac #g4 #mdd

Someone asked me in regards to OS/1337 "why don't you just use mkroot from @landley ?"

https://landley.net/toybox/downloads/binaries/mkroot/latest/

And that is a valid question.

To sum it up:

1. #mkroot for #i486 requires 3MiB of storage and thus is not an option for the 1440kB target size of the current, minimalist system.

2. shure I could instead make a #Syslinux #bootFloppy but that feels like cheating...

3. In the end the idea of OS/1337 is to build a #TUI-based #Desktop that can be built to run on everything.

Calling all Power Mac #G4 hackers!

I created this thread a while back:

https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/sapphire-radeon-9000-atlantis-pro-power-mac-g4-firmware.2956/

I got a nice suggestion about the non Pro boards, but can't locate the corresponding resistor on the Pro that I have.

I'd love to get these PC cards working in the G4, since they are plentiful and a simple mod to make them work in a Power Mac would add a whole lot more (and cheaper!) 9000 Pro cards to the #Macintosh world!

Any thoughts?

While looking for some information about the #g4 #macmini, I stumbled upon pages that talked about how easy it is to overclock them.

Now I'm tempted.

Useless ?
Lol, I wouldn't even have that machine if that was a real concern 😅

To service your iMac G4, put it in a soft and comfy foam bed 😛

1. Support the computer by neck and the base (A). Gently position the computer in the service stand with the flat panel facing up (B). 2. Note: The base of the computer can be rotated when servicing internal parts.

⚪🛋️The first generation of Apple iMacs, built around CRT monitors with colorful enclosures, was succeeded by the white iMac G4, available from 2002 to 2004. It's the only iMac that separates the enclosure from the screen, but the result is still compact and visually pleasing.
