Right. That's the G3 Pismo, G4 TiBook & 12-in G4 PowerBook all updated to TenFourFox 45.6. Still have to do the eMac, G4 MDD PowerMac & the mighty G5 PowerMac, though.
Screen on the 2008 iPod Classic has weird black splodges under the glass. Trying to work out whether it's worth fixing. The thing is still usable.
Butter has gone rancid, I kept it in the door of the fridge & that's got a poor seal, so things aren't as cool there as they should be. Plus, I'd left out some clotted cream & it unclotted itself, stopped being cream and looked more like butter with tiny lumps in it.
Solution: add salt to the dodgy cream and beat it into butter. Job done, I don't have to head for the shops later just to get butter.
10 minutes into the morning, it 19°C outside. It was a stinker of a hot humid day & my dwelling is only now starting to cool down. The evaporative cooler in the bedroom has used 8 litres of water in the last five hours and I'm running the A/C in the lounge room flat out to cool things down some. Weather radar shows rain to the north with a chance of some drizzle later.
So I transferred the newest version of TenFourFox (45.6) to the Pismo G3 laptop's startup drive which is a CF card in a FireWire 400 reader by connecting the CF card to the MBA via Thunderbolt-FW 800/400 adaptors. Then reconnected it to the Pismo and booted up. It didn't do so, just sat there with a pale grey screen & dark grey Apple logo & spinning gear wheel.
So I reconnected it to the MBA & used DiskWarrior 5 to fix the CF card's directory.
That did the trick, it then proceeded to boot normally.
Seagate GoFlex USB 3.0 & FireWire 800 adaptors do not support S.M.A.R.T. status checking whereas the GoFlex Thunderbolt 1 adaptor does.
Have to bear that in mind when using ext HDs.
A tale of two Seagate thingies. I have two Seagate GoFlex SATA interface devices which I can use to mount bare 2.5-in HDs. One connects via USB 3.0, the other via Thunderbolt 1.
However, in DiskUtility, any drive connected via T/bolt shows as S.M.A.R.T. verified, whereas the USB 3.0 adaptor shows S.M.A.R.T. as unsupported.
This would suggest something amiss with the USB 3.0 jigger. Somewhere I have a similar adaptor that connects via FireWire 800 but I can't find it at present.
