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…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan? Click to expand... Only the fan screwed to the original B&W rev.2 Heatsink. If I get a heatpiped one, I'm afr…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan? It would take some sheet or metal bar work, but you might consider trying to mount some of the modern heat pipe equipped …

Hi, As I told in other posts, I use a B&W G3 with G4 zif from Yikes! 400 at 450mhz (trying 500mhz still). I followed the voltage tweaking guide to achieve 500mhz by settin…

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,…

Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, if you don't want to fool around with flashing PC cards is the best.

If you can flash a 5200, not bad price for some that can handle modern gaming (Not with full settings, but I play Orange Box with it).

if you really want the best video card go for a flashed Radeon 9800 with 256MB VRAM or a flashed GeForce 7 series card. the 9800 gets pretty hot compared to the geforce cards. so …

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…

... But, what all are you wanting to do with it? If you just want it for "2d" stuff, then your 7500 is perfectly acceptable. If you want it for Core Image stuff, then a Radeon 96…

An ATI Radeon 9800 is, I believe, the best video card that was released for that Mac. There was an X800 released, but it requires the 8X AGP slot of the Power Mac G5, so won't wor…

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…

i want the best video card for a quicksilver g4 dual 1 g machine. well less than 150 $ us. i have a 7500 apg currently per alk [8D] which works great i would like to dual boot…

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?
