G4 (sawtooth) graphic cards — #24
if it still doesnt work, you should try the atx power supply hack. although it might just be safer to get your hands on something like a quicksilver or some g4 with a bigger power…

I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…
Fan control on a Lombard — #4
The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…
DVD Player for old powermacs — #2
Get some DVD player hardware (for example: the Plextor DVD burner 708A works great, region free firmware is available also, and the G3 will boot and install from this drive). Then …

I have a beige G3 (check signature) that I want to be able to play DVD's on. VLC kinds sucks for that because you can't do anything else while using it and even still it has a slo…
iMac G3 opinion — #13
I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…
iMac G3 opinion — #12
I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.
So, Beige G3's. — #37
haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

On the other hand, what is it with beige motherboards dying? I replaced the one in mine twice over the years. Both times the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 bootin…

If you really just want to own a G3 iMac, and particularly if it's one of the more collectable color variations, like "Flower Power" or "Blue Dalmation", sure, go ahead. Try not to…
iMac G3 opinion — #10
My recent switch from three 500MHz/1GB iMacs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger to a single G4 DA (quickly upgraded from 466 to 533 to 733MHz) was to be able to drive a 20-in ADC di…

Fan control on a Lombard — #3
You can test the Lombard internal fan by itself. Disconnect it and make a drawing of the three wire colors and where they go into the plug housing. Then if necessary remove the c…
Fan control on a Lombard — #2
Perhaps you can find a 5V point somewhere and connect the internal fan directly to that. Maybe on the USB port. It won't be temperature controlled, but at least it'll run.
It wo…
Fan control on a Lombard — #1
I finally have my Lombard up and running (mostly). However it will overheat if left alone since the cooling fan never comes on. Currently I'm using one of those PC slot fans to d…
iMac G3 opinion — #8
AvalancheSJ, it's still worth shopping around for a cheap G4 as you should be able to find one in your price bracket if you hunt. The FSB does make a fair bit of difference and th…
