I do list them all as-is (multiple times both in the description and in the condition) on eBay. No, I have not been putting new thermal paste in. Certainly something for me to think about.

Hey @davecom, something has been nagging @me in the back of my mind about your G4 Mac minis. While you’ve touted “upgrades” and “enhancements” and cleaning them to the “best of your ability”... it finally occurred to me that there’s been no mention of removing their CPU heatsinks, removing the old heatsink paste (and/or removing the foil pad) from these now near twenty year-old machines… AND then renewing the heatsink paste before reassembly and sale.

Do you perform this now long overdue task on each of them and have simply failed to mention it? If you have not done this, perhaps it is best that you do offer them all “as is”.

Caveat emptor?

Conversely, if you have renewed the paste… you should definitely mention that. ;)

Yes, total freeze, mouse can't be moved.
At this very moment.

Hangs as in a total freeze (no mouse movement)?

Development & Programming / Debugging ATI drivers for Mac Mini
« Last post by ssp3 on April 29, 2024, 04:54:25 AM »
What would be the best way to catch what's wrong with last versions of ATI RockHopper drivers from OSX 10.3.9 and up?
MacsBug? The Mini hangs at the moment whet ATI extensions start to load.

To clarify. By last versions I ment these three:

ATY,RockHopper2-1.0.1f75.pef
ATY,RockHopper2-1.0.1f89.pef
ATY,RockHopper2-1.0.1f100.pef

I've made my own drivers for OS9 with them.

FYI. v9 ROM file for Mini contains this one, the only real RockHopper2 driver that works in OS9
ATY,RockHopper2-1.0.1f63.pef

It's included on the Apple Developer Connection CDs.

Make sure to look at the "Tool Chest" CD.

Yeah it's scrambled for me too.

Which version are you running? FAT or Carbon? IIRC, some icons related stuff is also inside data fork(s).

Garden also seem to lack "PEF Viewer". Is there somewhere we can still find it?

If my current country allowed importing computers, I wouldn't mind giving this one a home. :( Surely someone else will be able to, though!

(Also, what a pity about what salt lamps can do and did!)
