I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my iMac G3, though this time to take up the entire hard drive. After I finished the lengthy install and rebooted, I got the normal bootstrap+yaboot rout…
Dropped into a yardsale and spotted a sad looking Strawberry Imac sitting with a bunch of monitors. I asked the lady how much for the Imac. The price was the same for all of them…
Radius Rocket?
Or perhaps some kind of video input card, such as a SuperMac VideoSpigot?

Hmm... there's actually a VideoSpigot for $16 shipped on eBay (BI…
Before you worry overmuch about the third NuBus slot, why not fill the RAM slots with 16MB 80ns cards, and the cache slot with a DayStar 50MHz PowerCache card at minimum, or an 040…
I am using a 17-in Apple Studio LCD with an Apple DVI to ADC adapter from an ATi Radeon PCI 7000/32MB (VGA, DVI-I, S-Video) card in a Beige G3 (Rev. C) MT with a Sonnet G4/800MHz/7…
Hi,
I purchased a NewerTech PowerPump clock chipping/overclocking device for my Quadra 700 on eBay (dlchief I think it was). This device purports to overclock the onboard 25Mhz '…
*shrug* I payed $200 canadian for my display that has now dropped in price to around $17x and so long as you have a decently calibrated colour profile it looks really really nice. …
Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…

Small+cheap+video+mac says 660AV to me, or 6100/G3/AV
Click to expand...
The 660AV is a great choice as is the 6100AV with a G3.
Personally I would love to own either one of t…
I'd go for the 6100 myself.
It's got the cool case, and supports more RAM.
I'd replace the heatsink with a larger one and of course new paste. Then a low speed G3 (which would sm…
Buying an ADC to DVI or RGB adapter isn't the best way to go at this time. I too wanted a non-widescreen LCD to use with older Macs.I also had an Apple 17" LCD studio display but r…

No. The only G4s with ADC(GBE, Cube, DA, QS, MDD) used AGP. And yes, the Sawtooth had AGP but no ADC capability.
Your B&W as well as the G4 PCI graphics (original G4 based…
Hello,
I am buying an old Power Mac G3 to use as a file server for my collection of vintage Macs. I would love to connect a 17 inch Apple Studio Display (Flat Panel), but the Powe…

Sorry for having letting you guys down a couple of days…
I won't rework on my Macminitosh for now. Whenever I find some time to play with my collection as of late, my main goal is…

Someday I will also build the fastest OS 9.x native booting machine (most likely a single processor system). I have yet to bother since high end G4's still cost a few dollars and I…

There are a small handful of programs for OS 8.6 > 9.2.2 that make use of the second processor. Back in those days, apps had to make specific use of the second processor. If…
