    Xs 1,1-3,1 Late 2006 Apple xserve Question

    Hello, recently I got an Apple Xserve, and it’s in really good condition except for this problem. When I turn it on, the fans turn on, but the EFI_ground light and the VR_power light inside, blink rapidly. After a while, the server dials down the fans and goes back into its off/sleep mode. Then...

    Mm 1,1-6,2 Mac OS X Server 10.4 on a Mac mini 1,1 (Early 2006)

    Hey everyone, I recently picked up a Mac mini 1,1 (Early 2006) and would like to use it as a retro server for my vintage Macs using AppleTalk / AFP with OS X Server 10.4. I already have another 2006 Mac mini running Mac OS X Tiger, so the hardware itself should be fine? I’ve tried multiple OS...

    OS X Server on PPC

    For the last month, I have been playing with OS X Server on my Powermac G5. Original motivation came from only having space to play with one vintage computer, and I couldn't decide between setting up my G5 or one of my early intel iMacs. With Server, I can do both!!! It's really cool to see how...

    Ideas for a redundant Mac mini

    Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

    Is there a way to confirm or unregister an OS X Server Serial Number?

    I'm not finding much about this and wanted to see if anyone here know: I have a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Server with a serial number. The Xserve that it was installed on originally is wiped and long done (it was sold with a standard/client version of a later OS X 10.13 on it). Someone wants to buy...

    Should Apple bring back the Xserve with Apple silicon?

    In the 2000s, Apple sold the Xserve, a rack-mounted server system. In 2011, it was discontinued and replaced with server versions of the Mac mini and Mac Pro. Over a decade after the Xserve was discontinued, Apple is about to transition the Mac Pro to Apple silicon, with M2 Ultra or M2 Extreme...

    16 Inch MackBook Pro -Would two external NvME drives give better transfer speeds? Should the plugged in on different sides of the Laptop?

    I am thinking of temporarily repurposing an Intel MacBook Pro as a file/ Media Server. I understand using an NvME in an enclosure is going to give the best speeds! . Would I get even better speeds if I split my applications between two smaller NvME drives? In other words I could use 2 1TB...
