I still have a spindle of them kicking around mostly for legacy OS stuff like old PowerPC Mac installations. Some version of Open Firmware just do not play nice with USB's.
The issue I have is think a lot of the discs I get are hyper aged and it is a flip of a coin if they actually work or not.
- tpmx 4y agoBuy some fresh ones while you can.
- NovaDudely 4y agoI will be honest I have kind of given up on trying to maintain a lot of these systems. Some I am still giving love but every year it gets a little harder, particularly with weird power supplies, dying capacitors and (now) odd ball storage systems. About 3 months ago I finally had to sacrifice a PowerMac G5 (Steve Jobs Folly as I called it), I kept the case and it is now a semi-sleeper PC but the original G5 board was dead as a dodo and not willing to go any further. The heat sinks on that thing was intense!
