The Personality cards in the Beige G3 line had a tendancy (or was shipped like that) to work loose or not to be fully seated. the issue was the metel tab that cought on the casing not allowing the card to be properly seated. bending the tab up a little will allow the card to go down further and seat properly.
and then again the personality card maybe hosed.

The last time I used the G3 it worked great. Then I tried to install Linux. [] ]'>

Disgusted, I pulled the memory and drives out for a while and it sat under my desk for a few months. Recently I have been playing some Classic games and while my B/W G4 at work is great running Tiger for iTunes and other stuff, it's not so nice for Classic. Games are rather jerky on it.

I also have the normal personality card with only the sound in/out. As soon as I get a chance I'll re-seat the A/V card and see if the sound decides to work. If not I'll try the other card.
