Some nubus cards will not work with recent system software, and some (say, the Rocket accelerators) will not work with a ppc processor. That's all I meant. I have a 2300c with CF,…

Actually I did some more reading and found that there arent any CPU upgrades that go straight into the Nubus slot (correct me if I'm wrong) but into the Cache/PDS slot of Nubus pow…

Maybe a sound or video card (in which case compatibility with version of MacOS and ppc becomes an issue), but nothing else.

I had an instructor bring me a Powerbook G4 that won't power up. I tried resetting the PMU and taking the battery out, as well as re-seating the RAM. The charger light in the back…

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? Is that even possible?

Thanks guys I reseated the ram, the av card, and reinstalled mac is 9 (with my g4s radeon) and updated it to 9.2.2. Then I took out the gpu and the onboard video works great!!! :-…

They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…

No. Just unsuitable for the model. All three Beige G3 machines were specified for 384MB total (max.) of RAM with then-current technology, and the desktop version had also a heigh…

What revision ROM? I think the early Beige G3's didn't support secondary drives at all, also B&W rev 1 had corruption issues on secondary drives. Click to expand... yep…

Internal ATA 0: CD-ROM + CD-RW problem is that both CD Drives do not work together. If CD-RW is set to MASTER, CD-ROM is SLAVE, only CD-RW is working. If both are CABLE SELECT onl…

The Beige series should have 2MB of VRAM built in and a slot for 4MB more to get to 6MB total. I don't think video works at all if the built in 2mb is bad, all the extra RAM does i…

beige G3 I had would not lite up the screen(VGA) with out the 4mb stick under OS9 Click to expand... And only under OS 9? Weird. If it was under both I would say it was a fau…

Well if it bongs, the AV/PERCH card is installed correctly. The AV card is the one that has the sound in/out ports on it, that is installed in a black slot (PERCH) next to the PCI …

Lets see im getting back to working on it and yes it does bong. I have no idea what the AV card is or what a PERCH socket is guys

The very first beige G3 I had would not lite up the screen(VGA) with out the 4mb stick under OS9. Honest...I had to buy one to get the machine to work.

Doesn't matter - there's 2MB onboard even without the optional 4MB DIMM

Did someone take out the memory simm,its pugs in right in front of the ZIF.

I have just landed one with hard drive controller issues, downgraded and the b/w is back to normal! Lovely how the legacy keyboard gets used plus a working narrow scsi in 10.4.11! …

Make sure the AV card is seated properly in the PERCH socket. It often seems like it is when it isn't. Did you get a startup chime?

Some of those adapters have a bucket load of slider pins and the correct settings can be a real pain to get right, aer you sure it's configured correctly. Serously, I'd look into …

Well, if you're trying to use an old RGB monitor like the one for the IIGS it won't work, it has less pins even though the connector is the same. I'm not sure why a VGA monitor won…

How do I do it? I had a radeon in it and now I put it in my g4 mac pro. Now I want to put OS 9 on this beige g3 but am unsure how to get the on board video to enable itself.....I h…

Great, thanks. So, suppose I have one of those sets of three different cables attached together? So it's red, yellow, and white on both ends, and they're separate cables, just glu…
