I have a 233mhz tower. It has no RAM in it currently, the stock 4gb HD, pretty much everything is stock and barebones. Has the audio only IO card but it also has a modem, which mak…

I got an 8500 with a G3 CPU, thats my "beige G3" Specs is in the signature.

As original with zip replaced drive with 8gig disk installed 10.2.8

I currently have the following: G3 Tower with G3/400mhz processor from my Blue/White G3 192MB RAM 4.3GB hard disk Zip 100 drive Wings A/V card from a G3 AIO Panasonic 24x CD-…

What do you guys have for specs on yours? Can be tower, desktop, or AIO, although I prefer the server version myself I have: G3 Tower (server version) OS 9.2.2 433MHz G3 (o…

well, I did a bit of digging, and I found someone with a similar issue here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4994036 looks like it might just be a power issue …

I haven't a clue where 1983 came from (other than from my fingers), but 2003 would make a good alternative with a little more credibility. As for the prototype status of the iMac,…

OK, this is getting really frustrating. I pulled out a SCSI CD drive (actually a burner), and I managed to boot off that (even with no terminator). I used my 9.2.2 CD. With all the…

Thats really quite interesting, equill. Yes, i am still using the original transparent Apple power cable with it. I might have to have a look at the plug and check that its in good…

Don't, without deliberate testing, discount the rôle of the Mac's mains cable in all this. I have had a Snow 500 iMac since new. It has now been always-on since about 1983 but fo…

Well you're not going to believe this, but it seems to have come back to life again. I just sat down with it and tried various arrangements of CPU, motherboard and RAM. Eventually …

Hmm, well now this is odd. I tried the direct method once more with the 24x, and it opened just fine, but did not close. I then plugged the molex into the other cable to go to all …

OK, so I double checked the jumper settings. Then I unplugged the IDE cable on the CD-ROM, still nothing. So, I had a hunch, and unplugged the master molex cable, and plugged it di…

Thanks, guys you have given me a lot to think about and check out later on today. Both CD drives are IDE, and nothing is stuck in either one. I managed to use a paperclip to check …

I assume you are trying to push the button on the front of the machine right after power up. (Keyboard eject does not work on the AIO IIRC). If you wait until it thinks it is boo…

Turn it on after unplugging the CD's data cable. If it ejects, then the problem is with the configuration, cable, or motherboard. Make sure the CDROM is set properly. On most beig…

Actually, there is nothing on the hard drive. It is totally blank, a clean slate. I did it that way so I could install a fresh copy of 9 with all the drivers on the machine. Shoul…

What happens if you disconnect the power to the CD drive, and just boot with the hard drive?

nope, that did not do anything. I hunted and pecked for the original module, popped that in, removed the other modules, and booted. Still nothing. It also can not be power, becaus…

Some RAM will clock down to lower speeds, but I have seen some that don't. Has something to do with the CAS latency or something techie like that.. :lol:

aha, I did not check the RAM. I think I put PC100 in it. I thought it automatically would work at PC66. I will pull out everything but the stock stick and try again. If it were bad…

What kind of RAM did you use? The system bus in the G3AIO is 66 mhz. Did you use PC133? It might not be compatible, or maybe one of the DIMMs isn't seated properly, or maybe jus…

yeah, I have one of these beasts. I upgraded the RAM heavily, and put in a large 20gb HD. For the longest time it was booting with no video, but something told me to give it anothe…
