Thanks, guys. Question then comes down to. What I am thinking of that requires hard sectored disks.

Isn't that model number "M2943" for the defective 15" apple multiscan displays? Stay away... FAR away from them as well as the 1710's I have a 1705 and it has never given me a prob…

MacTCP manages to talk TCP/IP over LocalTalk by packaging each IP packet as a DDP packet and sending it to a "MacIP Gateway". Unless you have some component on your network doing t…

I've got a Classic II running 7.5.5 and MacTCP 2.1. I've also got an AsanteTalk adapter that appears to work. When it's plugged into a switch, the RX light flashes, as does the act…

Is everyone 100% sure that these machines cannot go up to 1 Gig of memory? Click to expand... Unfortunately since the beige G3s only have 3 slots, yes.

Yep up to 768mb

yes, I remember disk light. every time I installed norton, there it was. Pretty handy utility, and you could place it in either top corner. My only gripe with 7.1 is that it's not…

Nice! I remember when those first came out. :beige:

Posting from my Cube now. It was loaded with 10.4.something, and Software Update is doing its magic in the background. Seems like this came along just in time, as my iMac has jus…

P.S.: I remember there was a little piece of software called "Disk Light". It does exactly what the name says, i.e. it visualises the harddisk access with the impression of a flic…

Now that you have a >4GB internal HD, make sure you never attempt to mount the 1400 to another Mac in SCSI Disk Mode. There's a non-fixable firmware bug that can lead to da…

Consider to stick with System 7.1 for the PB 180. I think it feels more snappy and runs very reliable. It is possible to replace several extensions or control panels with more re…

The new Sandisk Extreme III CF card (specified transfer rate 30 Mb/s) should do well, as it supports UDMA. This thing is pretty fast, better than any old harddisk drive. The 2 GB…

The M2943 is one of the most brittle displays I have ever seen. Most other Apple displays hold up fairly well, but every single M2943 I have is crumbling - even the ones with perfe…

Oops 5 1/4"

they have to be 5 1/4' diskettes Click to expand... Those are awfully big diskettes. } Yeah, I know. A typo.

just didn't know if there was a good Apple monitor from the mid-90's... Click to expand... Oh sure, there are some good monitors. Really, anything *EXCEPT* the MS 15" is good. …

And also this may be unecessary but they have to be 5 1/4' diskettes.

Any DSDD (Double-sided, double-density) disks should work. Click to expand... Exactly. Sectored-ness (hard or soft) is irrelevant in the Apple's case. Just avoid HD ('High De…

My school still uses some G3 iBooks and I see this hapenning to them VERY soon... And I'll have to arm up with a heat gun. I was trying to fix the BGA by putting a small candle cu…

I'll always love the iBooks though and look forward to the day when I finally have the resources to repair one. (I can do the BGA's on the GPU, just not that little sub-processor c…
