The replacement hard drive I purchased was a '[Bingogo 2.5" IDE 128GB](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392852308254)'. Chris, the member with the iBook G4, had chosen to buy a cheaper mSATA to IDE converter to replace his iBook drive and when my drive turned up it just turned out to also be a mSATA converter with a disk included.
Chris has come prepared. In advance of reinstalling his own device, he had downloaded a community-created full disk image of a working Leopard (10.5) install. He was able to write the image onto my drive, saving me from having to fight with physical media and a long installation process. After cobbling together a working system I hit the power for the first time and crossed my fingers. Initially, it look like the image didn't work. The useful 'folder with a question mark' appeared, but at least it was better than when the faulty hard drive was in it. After a little bit of research on Google, we came across the [Openfirmware Wiki](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/the-open-firmware-wiki.2225024/) on MacRumors, which at least got us to a prompt that we could start investigating what was going on.

For engraving, we have a hackspace built laser engraver that can work with a variety of materials. While it isn't powerful enough to cut it can handle any engraving and etching job with ease.
Our vinyl cutter is a A3 GCC Lynx S-30 desktop cutter, a small industrial machine that can handle roll and sheet material, and can do most jobs without issue.
