.... i am thinking about buying a kingspec 64GB (128 is too expensive for me )...

Why on earth KingSpec? I personally wouldn't touch that brand with a six foot pole.
You're located in Germany, right? Get the used 128 GB Samsung PM871b M.2 SSD on ebay.de for 10-15 EUR. Add IDE to M.2 'white box' adapter from AliExpress  and that combo will serve you for the rest of your life.

And, btw, what's your budget if 128 GB is too expensive?

..it seems YANSEN is now the new brand that was previously KingSpec, does anybody know please if they work just as good or if there is models to avoid?

Two year old test of PM871b M2 below. IIRC, it was in Mini 1.42.

Well, I tried both recommendations. My conclusion? The machine’s sick.

Resetting the PRAM and rebuilding the desktop only resulted in a freeze at the same point in the startup procedure as in my original screen photo.

Booting with extensions off got my machine through the boot-up process, but I was greeted with a dialogue box that read, "This disk is unreadable by this computer. Do you want to initialize the disk?" It then gave me two 14.9GB formatting options, which makes no sense since the disk in there’s only 6GB.

Anyway, not wanting to reinitialize anything, I tried a hard shut-down. But, that didn't work. In desperation, I hit command-option-escape, and the dialogue box disappeared. But, while my icons were there (and rearranged), the desktop background was not.

I tried an old CD I have for Conflict Catcher, but it wouldn’t mount. I tried my Disk Warrior CD, but it wouldn’t mount either. I tried a third CD, same result. A result of extensions off maybe?

Anyway, I’m suspecting a main HD problem. I may have to have a local Mac techie I know open him up.

Anyway man, thanks.

Yes, it's my terrible mistake. I confused the reset RPAM with the Openfirmware input.

Terrible mistake??

Bro, you gave me a keyboard chart!!! For crying out loud, most people don't go that far to help a stranger out.

Thank you again

ah vsnares i met him when he lived in vienna we hung out

that's pretty cool, do you have a copy of "Venetian Snares – A Tape For Bob From Aaron" by chance?

I CANT EVEN FIND THE cdrs wewie stonder gave me and THOSE i really should have ripped

Man, I listen to just about anything to be honest. Recently discovered community radio and now hear still more.

I can fire up iTunes and not hear the same song for 73 days, because my tastes are so wide.

Right now Olivia Newton John is singing "Magic" and before it was Rubenstien's "Romance in E Flat Op 44/1"  Before then was "Sunny" by Boney M.  Coming up next is "Inside All Us" by Creed.

you pay 0.8 cents per kwh? where are you? emirates? mongolia?

around here in europe it is more like 15-95 cents.

Washington State, United States.

We have a lot of hydro, wind, and solar here. We have a public utility district, meaning power buys and generation is not driven by profit companies, The wholesaler is government ran too.  So they work in tandem to keep power costs as low as possible.  I would add the entire house is electric: heating/air conditioning, water heating, cooking and refrigeration--all electric.   

The rate just went up this month from 8.00 cents to 8.79 cents per kwh, so for 1037 kwh is 91.15,  basic service costs are $19,00, taxes are 6.61. So total was $116.76

In Euros:  100.33. 

Yes, it's my terrible mistake. I confused the reset RPAM with the Openfirmware input.

the 1ghz i just got OVP is still sitting on the top of the retro shelf waiting to get a cleaning, repaste, sdd, ram maxed out...

we need on archive.org isos of dual boot setups for every machine

Wow, that was thorough! Thank you!

I have a QS that needs a PS change, I can try that on Sat
