I've got a G3 upgraded 6100 with an AV card and it's been rock stable with OS 8.5. You won't be able to use the DOS card with any of the G3 upgrades, though. It can get rather ex…

I bought the Performa 6116CD back in 1996 and I am still using it. I did a lot of upgrade on this machine; Apple video card, 72MB RAM, 56k X2 USRobotics modem. WIth MacOS 8.6, th…

i'll probably just bung linuxppc on it. just need more desk room for 'nother legecy comp! thanks! b.

I just got a rev B motherboard in my iMac rev D and installed the GameWizard. Now my monitor switches off in OpenGL games (light turns orange)! What am I doing wrong? It doesn't do…

You're either trying to use 32 bit color or too high a resolution. The voodoo2 is VERY limited in what it can do. Keep it at 640X480.... its a good resolution for such a tiny …

Got it to work at 640x480 now. But now the screen is stretched very strangely. How do I fix this?

hello, i currently own a igamewizard, and i cant find the CD for it. I have searched the net far and wide for copies of the QD3d and glide drivers but n…

I just bought a 30GB ATA/66 hard drive for my rev. A beige G3. Unfortunately, the rev. A can only handle two IDE devices at a time (i.e. the hard drive and the CD-ROM), so I've got…

What does the ROM have anything to do with having more ATA devices? The IDE controller is controlled by an entirely seperate controller... To my understanding, IDE generally comes …

The problem is that the rev. A ROM doesn't support master/slave configurations. (I suppose I just answered my own question.) As for my new HD, good point. I probably should have…

Where can you get ATA/66 cards for $49 anyways??

Staples has them. (You'd be amazed what you can get for a Mac, there!)

Just to clarify for some: the ROM in the Rev. A Beige G3 does not allow for master/slave configuration on the IDE Bus. Swapping it out with a Rev. B or Rev. C ROM will give you tha…

My blue/white G3 does not support ATA 66. i had to get HDToolkit to knock the drive down to 33.. not sure if this applies to beige G3's, it's just a fair warning. kinda off the s…

Just to clarify for some: the ROM in the Rev. A Beige G3 does not allow for master/slave configuration on the IDE Bus. Swapping it out with a Rev. B or Rev. C ROM will give you tha…

If I understand correctly, IDE is controlled by the CPU, so an ATA card won't get rid of that overhead...I'm not positive on that though, since I didn't do the ATA HD interface for…

Evangellydonut � (Great name, btw.) Anyway, what's this about the Fireball Plus LM only being able to come up with ?27MB/sec? It's a ATA/66 drive (or at least, it was advertised…

B&W G3 handles ATA/100 or ATA/66 drives fine using Drive Setup 1.9.2. No need to use FWB (3.02 doesn't support OS 9 and 4.0 sounds buggy). Apple ships some current G4 configura…

ATA/66 drives doesn't mean it'll transfer files at such speed, only means that it supports such interface. Currently, the fastest IDE HD avilable is the IBM Deskstar75GXP, and that…

Okay. I think I've got this straight. After all this, the bottom line seems to be that the ROM upgrade would be the way to go, since the mobo can handle more than the drive is capa…

In theory, DVD RAM capable (if you can get a DVD RAM slot loader) or CD-RW. 75 Gig drive, 1.5 gig ram, and maybe Ca$h could swap the Rage 128Pro for an AGP Radeon when they're avai…

Cube mods??? Honestly, could we wait until they actually ship before thinking of ways to tear them apart?
