I just want something like a first touch with OS X, but price options aren't attracting, that's why I chose a G3 xx( No joy about Headgap's being blocked in Brazil without reaso…

A low end beige G3 is not great with OSX unless you use an older version like 10.2.x.

Remember that the iMac is/was the low-end machine, so you'll get better performance from the desktop/tower G3.

I think it will be around October, so lots of time to decide. In which one XPostFacto for Panther/Tiger works better? Remember, I'm not picky, I just want for OS X and features n…

I would pick a beige over an Imac, expecially if the beige is a tower.

... or at least have a spare or borked MiniDock you don't mind hackrificing. Say, jt, if you can find one for sale somewhere and you want to give this project a kick along, I'll t…

No, thanks. This will not be now. Still, do someone know why Headgap's store is apparently blocked here? I was able to access it thru a web proxy. EDIT: Mike, if the 80% import t…

CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a few months. Click to expand... This is th…

Also, I know that G3 iMacs require maximum VRAM (6 MB) for acceptable OS X performance, however NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY ( 8-o ) sells VRAM. Click to expand... I have some VRAM…

G4s? The cheapest one (a Power Mac G4/533) is $200. Also, I know that G3 iMacs require maximum VRAM (6 MB) for acceptable OS X performance, however NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY ( 8-o …

You really need a G4 for OS X to feel enjoyable and speedy, even if you are only web browsing or whatever. And you'd be best with Leopard, because its the most secure and software …

I just want a real Mac for OS X (believe or not I even didn't tried PearPC) and features which emulation can't do (RAM disk...). I would get a Beige G3, but I don't have a USB card…

With a Beige G3 desktop or minitower, you have the option of upgrading through PCI slots, and upgrading the machine to a G4 in the future. With the iMac, you get a nice compact mac…

It's Brazil. Anything common before the Beige G3 is the Performa 6200/6300/6360. No 68k Macs. It's an auction site.

Where are you located? Those prices sound kind of high unless you're looking at some kind of store.

I will buy a G3 (very cheap here), however the question is the subject. Many come without keyboard or mouse, and no money is spare to buy a USB card, so I might get the iMac. Befo…

I had thought about putting a CF card in the PCMCIA slot (on my 3400) and using that as a VM module so to speak. Click to expand... Yeah, not a great idea, because PCMCIA is qu…

Thanks for the information, fmwolf. I'm happy to see that a 190 can handle the MLA. I'm glad hear that your CF card has lasted this long. With frequent backups, this hard drive alt…

I've been using my 190 (posting from it) with an ultra II CF for about 3 years now - not on daily basis but frequently enough and with enabled VM. Battery lasts more than 2 hours (…

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... My alternative idea was trying to pin-map the docking bar to a PDS of some sort and mounting it inside a MiniDock.…

I've got another question, this time about CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a fe…

Excellent. Thanks for the information, beachycove. It looks like I'll have a fun project next weekend.

... how did you install the OS onto the CF card in your 2300c? I am away from its DuoDock II and have no external CD drive, so I was thinking I would put it into a PCMCIA adapter a…

Thank you all for your replies. Part of my challenge for the 3400 is to keep the drive small since I like System 7 and it doesn't like large drives (unless they're partitioned), bu…
