Feb 27, 2017 · Some 6 months or so ago I saw an ad for an iMac G4 17" 1.25GHz. (That particular USB2 model happens to be my 2nd best iMac 'flavour' after the 20"). It was reported to be in good condition, and as it was cheap, thought if nothing else it could eventually be useful as a spares machine. Went along to see it and found it had Lubunto 12.04 as the ...

Oct 6, 2021 · I've always wanted the iMac G4 since I was a kid and I knew a few people made some hackintosh's with them but I didn't want that, I wanted a real Mac. I always thought about putting the Mac mini internals in it but with intel chips it wouldn't work for a …

Jul 1, 2018 · This solution was an NVRAMRC script, that needed to be added to my iMac's NVRAM. To do this, I first applied the NVRAM patch on a PowerMac G4 system that this FW updater was designed for, as it would not run on the iMac G4. Then, I copied the variable it added to NVRAM using "nvram -p" in OS X, then manually set that variable in OS X on the ...
