Hi!
Trying to source an ATX to MDD adapter to the EU is quite hard nowadays. There's one for sale on eBay, but the person selling them wont ship to the EU so I'm quite stuck.
Throwing money on a now 20+ year old recapped original PSU is not really something I want to do, so now I'm looking for some help.
Are anyone making these in the EU?
Thanks!

Well maybe my original, stock 2003 MDD will have the same exact daughtercard / CPU?

Mine is 2 coil

From the two 1.25 GHz dual processor daughtercards that I now have loose here, neither one is an 820-1452-A like yours. The closest one is an 820-1472-A. And I’ll attempt to attach that large image (approx. 20” x 22” / 6.47mb / 1440 x 1570 pixels) below, in case that might be of any use to you.

Now, I also do have a “stock” original, 2003 MDD 1.25 GHz DP here, that may have the same “two coil” daughtercard AND also may be a 820-1452-A  — but would have to pull it and check… which might be later this coming week.

In the meantime, perhaps you might instead, seek an MDD 1.25 GHz single processor daughtercard (820-1497-A ©2002) as they also have the “two coil” configuration and therefore might not require a different heatsink from what you now have. AND you would still maintain the MDD 1.25 GHz speed.

Yours is a two-coil?

So there’s another possible option… until you can repair your 820-1452-A?

Great job! Just needed to add nvedit at the beginning and everything else is as you described. Thanks!

It seems that I messed up.

The correct command sequence is:
> " /" select-dev
> 00000008 " graphic-options" get-my-property 2drop !
> unselect
> mac-boot

i.e. on the first line the select-dev must come as the last word on the line. The error on the second command comes from the fact that the root of the device tree isn't properly selected. Apparently it is also better to release the device node (line 3). "mac-boot" then boots MacOS .  Source: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html

Ok, thanks for the new commands. But to insert the previous strings, do I have to insert something before and after? If I just start OFW and insert them and send them, it gives me errors. Look at the image. Am I doing something wrong? Let me know, thanks.

Hello, first time poster here!

I have tried lots of different combinations but cannot seem to find a way to install MacOS 9 Lives on my unsupported iMac G4 15 inch 1GHz (USB2). I don't have any blank CDs so am using a Lacie FW drive that I have used for lots of bootable OSX installations.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

- I downloaded the Unsupported G4 Mac OS 9 Lives install from the Macintosh Repository
- Using Disk Utility in OSX 10.4 Tiger, I then partitioned the Lacie drive using Apple Partition Map, ensuring to tick the OS 9 drivers option.
- I then used the "restore function" in Disk Utility to restore the ISO file to the FW drive, ticking "erase destination".
- I then restart the iMac, and at the boot picker I see the "MacOS9Lives" drive, but when I boot into it after a few seconds I am greeted with the Classic-style flashing question mark on floppy disk icon.

(I have also tried restoring the IMG file inside the ISO, instead of the ISO itself, but get the same result)

Many thanks for any help!

I have 820-1452-A cpu bord and i need a boardview file to check schematics of daughterboard to potentially replace anything that went bad

... I don't know how to exit everything and restart.

“To continue booting, type “mac-boot” and press return.
  To shut down, type “shut-down” and press return.”
