well that didn't work lol. It wasn't even recognized as being in a PCI slot

Maybe I'm missing something, but what does that have to do with firmware? Click to expand... Nothing, I'm just going through the OS options. The next steps are disabling all u…

(a) move to 8.6? ( B) is there an option of a firmware upgrade?

I have a Beige G3 that I have set up running OS 8.5 with AppleShare IP. For some reason, it keeps crashing. I can't seem to figure out the problem. If I boot it up, it will disappe…

The shielding on Macs is more to meet regulations than anything else, as far as I know. Should work fine without it. Click to expand... Same with the new iMac G3's. I've taken …

B&W G3 officially added to the question. STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them) Click to expand... Well if the B&W is in the run…

STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them) Click to expand... I'm not getting anything here either. Something's definitely awry.

The shielding on Macs is more to meet regulations than anything else, as far as I know. Should work fine without it.

I've taken mine out because its a pain in the butt to keep taking it in and out every time you work on it. It works just the same, same with a clamshell i had a couple years ago.

Getting the shielding back on just now almost killed me, and some people have taken the shielding out of their clamshells to make them more translucent, so I wondered if you needed…

Yes. It shields the innards from RF both internal and external. I would posit that a shield-less icebook would get crappy wifi, have audio problems from the audio cable inducting n…

Do IceBooks really need their shielding?

If it were me I would go with the BeigeG3. It''s more upgradeable, and certain models can run on an 83MHz system bus. Replacing a Rev A with a Rev B or C ROM can solve the slave d…

No funds for a Mini, sorry. STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them)

If i get a chance i will try after work and post my findings. I have a whole lot of different cards, some simple scsi, some RAID with 128MB ram, daughter cards, batteries, and heat…

As far as I know, no promise cards can be made bootable. Adaptec cards have a slight-chance of being made bootable. One of the main issues with flashing from PC to mac is the size…

Hmmm, the have ROM and RAM but i don't know if the MAC would read it right. They are Adaptec and Promise raid cards, maybe a re-flashing? I will have to play with it.

They may. But I don't think the G4 would boot from them. scratch that, I doubt it would. Mainly as there has to be a ROM on it. Howerver, since I had an Adaptec with a PC ROM on…

Hello everyone, I have a ton of SCSI 160 and 320 cards and HDDs from dell servers. Would the cards work in my G4 tower? If so OS 9.2 work or would i need OS X? I don't know how p…

I would get one of the G3/233 iMacs -- you can install panther on them without any modification. The G3/400 would be nice if you're confident in your ability to repair it, and that…

I'll probably get a B&W but it's far from that G4/533. Also no processor upgrades as the VRAM. I found someone with one long ago but it was $500. Shipping is absolutely exp…
