A collection of vintage Apple computers is neatly arranged in a basement workspace with unfinished walls lined with pink insulation. The machines are placed on and around a beige desk with a wood-themed vinyl floor beneath. On the floor in the foreground sits a Graphite iMac G3 facing the camera. To the left of it is a Shuttle XPC cube, and to the right are three Power Mac G4 towers in a row: a Quicksilver, a Mirrored Drive Doors (MDD), and a Graphite model. Furthest to the right is an aluminum Mac Pro.

On top of the desk are various Apple laptops and desktops. From left to right: a Lime iBook G3 Clamshell is open and angled toward the camera. Behind it, partially obscured by the laptops, is a white iMac G4. Next to the iBook G3 is a 12-inch PowerBook G4, followed by a 15-inch PowerBook G4, and then a 12-inch iBook G4, all open and arranged in a tidy row. Behind them is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, which is connected to a Power Mac G5 tower sitting on the right. On top of the Power Mac G5 is a PowerBook G3 “Pismo” model.

Un PowerBook G4 modifié pour charger en USB-C Sur Reddit, peppergrayxyz vient de montrer un PowerBook G4 intéressant : l'antique Mac portable (il a plus de 20 ans) a été modifié pour accepter un chargeur USB-C. À l'époque des PowerBook G4 — ici un modèle en aluminium, une gamme apparue en 2003 et remplacée en 2006 par les MacBook Pro —, la charge passait par une prise ronde spécifique à Apple, qui fournissait une tension de 24 V. La prise USB-C a l'avantage d'entrer facilement dans l'emplacement du connecteur d'Apple utilisé à l'époque, ce qui donne un bon résultat esthétiquement. Un PowerBook G4 relié en USB-C. CC BY 2.0, Pepper Gray. La modification repose sur un petit PCB (LX-AMPD1) qui intègre une prise USB-C femelle et des résistances qui permettent de forcer une tension précise au niveau du chargeur USB-C. La norme Power Delivery permet plusieurs tensions, et il est donc nécessaire de forcer celle qui convient le mieux pour le Mac. L'adaptateur installé dans le PowerBook G4 — vous trouverez de nombreuses photos sur FlickR — peut être configuré pour une tension de 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, 15 V et 20 V. Dans le cas d'un PowerBook G4, la tension de 20 V est à peu près adaptée : elle est un peu faible par rapport à ce que devrait fournir l'adaptateur secteur, mais il y a souvent une marge dans les appareils électroniques de ce type. L'auteur n'indique pas si cette différence pose des soucis pratiques, une tension trop faible pouvant (par exemple) bloquer la charge de la batterie. L'USB-C dans la prise. CC BY 2.0, Pepper Gray. Le PCB. CC BY 2.0, Pepper Gray. Reste qu'il faut le rappeler, ce n'est pas la solution idéale : comme nous l'avions expliqué dans un test d'adapteurs MagSafe vers USB-C, travailler avec une tension trop faible ou trop élevée n'est pas une bonne idée pour les composants du Mac.

Put my case back in a cupboard finally after being abroad. Picked up a laptop back to make space. Laptop bag felt heavy. Didn’t realise I still had my PowerBook G4. #PowerBookG4

本線から脱線気味になりつつあるPowerBook G4のメンテナンス作業は、ひとたび終了(中断)とします。劣化したバッテリーの問題は宿題です。それにしても、枯れた技術は美しい。 #powerbookg4

本日も終日PowerBook G4のメンテナンス作業でした。アマゾンから荷物が届くと、サクッとSSDへの換装を済ませて、ゴチャゴチャとややこしいMac OS 9.2.2のインストール作業へ。今回は別のアプローチで作業を進めます。MacBook Air上のUTM(QEMU)にセットアップした、Mac OS 9.2.2をPowerBook G4に持ち込むという荒技です。山あり谷ありの作業は無事に終わりましたが、Classic Mac OSを操作しているとマウスを使いたくなるのは私だけでしょうか。 #powerbookg4 atpurl.com/wTQysHx

先日発掘したPowerBook G4のリカバリメディアが見つからない。捨てるはずはない(はず)。いくら探しても見つからないので、Mac OS 9.2.1のCD-ROMからシステムをインストールする作戦に変更。しかし、何故だか上手くはいかずに作戦は失敗。気持ちが悪いが「NetBoot9.dmg」からMac OS 9.2.2を取り出すことにした。動いてはいるが如何にも居心地が悪いのだ、んー。 #powerbookg4

仕舞込んでいたオペレーティングシステムやソフトウェアを探していると箱の中から......。発掘しました。これは「PowerBook G4 (Titanium)」の667MHzモデル。丁寧に使っていたので、とても状態が良く綺麗。電源ケーブルを接続して立ち上げてみると、無事に起動しました。オペレーティングシステムは、初期のMac OS Xにアップデートした状態。Mac OS 9.2.2に戻したいので、まずは暇を見つけて本体のメンテナンス作業かしら。とても嬉しい。 #powerbookg4 atpurl.com/X6kXaS4
