Try here for help http://www.macland.net/performa/forum/index.cgi This site is for anybody with a Performa. Mostly 6300 and above ; but they will help anybody. I just checked it…

Thank you very much

I wrote Mr.David Watson about repairs for my Newton... Quote: Many people have written me asking that I continue offering upgrades and the repairs that I mention on my …

I just got a free 6100/Dos compatible..is there any way of overclocking it? b.

There are many G3 upgrade cards available for said machine. The only problem with upgrading that one to a G3 is that i've seen a lot of monitor connector problems with the 61xx lin…

I painted mine, took out the DOS card, and put in a AV card and G3 upgrade. I don't use it though, so i guess the G3 card was a bit much. Oh well. One of these days I'm gonna buil…

G3 upgrade + Pentium Overdrive + good video card

I've got a 6100, and I decided to just get a new Mac. It's not worth it. G3/G4 NuBus upgrade + Hard Drive Upgrade + RamStacker/RAM out the wazoo = iMac DVSE - good graphics - DVD…

One word: NetBSD. Good personal firewall machine. You can use the onboard ethernet plus an ethernet card in the PDS slot. (6100s have a PDS slot, not? Thought they did...)

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…
