Hello. Well i got my mac off of eBay. It ran for about 45 minutes and when i went to use it later on it gave me the vertical bars. It looked like the capacitors on the logic boar…

A powered USB hub should do it then Wayne

Correction to my post above: that should say desktop/platinum G3, NOT blue & white G3!! Also, I tried ProTERM 3.1 last evening on the IIgs. It did not work! I must do more…

You folks guessed right, my drives are not powered by external power. I'm really surprised that the PB 17" USB 2.0 ports don't have enough juice, isn't that weird? I'm very optimi…

Oh cool! Now does this just pretty much modify the NVRAM making it independent of the software once installed? Like i install it, turn it on, and i can swap out the hard drive with…

It basically means that your powerbook can't provide the necessary power to spool up the HDDs. You might either need to get a USB -> IDE/SATA Converter that you can apply e…

If you have an OS X box that lacks serial ports, you can get USB/8-pin serial adaptors pretty cheap. Then all you need is an 8-pin Mac printer cable to go between.

Here's how I plan to get my //e connected: I have a Super Serial Card and a b&w Power Macintosh G3. I've got the G3 configured with OS 10.2.8 such that its serial ports (p…

Not for MacOS... the free alternative would be to install some form of UNIX, but that's not exactly the easy way out ;-) There's always the option of getting a dial-up shell acc…

Is there a free alternative to IPNetRouter?

That's what IPNetRouter does.

Wouldn't it consist of running some router app on the Mac and then connect to that with the IIgs? Sorry, but networking isn't my strong point, possibly I should call some local net…

Right. Rev 1 B&W G3 does NOT support booting from slave IDE devices because the on-board ROM for the controller does not understand how to access slave devices. OS …

is there any way I can route the internet to the IIgs via a LocalTalk cable? Click to expand... I think so, but I think it's probably going to be more work than you want to do …

As some may know by now, I have a Apple IIgs that I'm getting set up. I already have my 3400c connected to the internet, is there any way I can route the internet to the IIgs via …

I had 4 hard drives in my Gigabit G4. As long as jumper settings are set. It works. Sure I had no optical drive, but it worked. Click to expand... That's nothing special. The R…
