My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

Why the 10MiB ceiling in a Classic II? — #1
Hi all,
The various threads here about 128MiB 72-pin SIMMs working in certain machines that were never intended to use them got me thinking. What, precisely, about the Classic II …
RetroBrighted SE/30 System — #19
Hmmm. The discussion about H2O2 makes me wonder what effect a solution of KNO3 would have...
For that matter, given that the Oxi-whatever produces H2O2 can you just dispense with…

JDW:
Nice work! I saw your pictures and your mac/parts/pieces look fantastic! I've been away from these forums for the summer and was glad to return and see you had given it a t…
So, Beige G3's. — #63
do you have the latest powerlogix software? Mine lets me go higher than that chip is rated for, so I don't see why it wouldn't do that with a 900 too.
8500 G4 Issue — #10
I pulled the on board cache card from the mother board when I installed the G3 years ago. This was recommended in the Sonnet installation instructions. The 500Mhz G3 processor wo…

Thought I might post the machine I have the parts, but not the time to build -
CPU - 900 MHz Powerlogix CPU - We were going to try to overclock this to 1000

8500 G4 Issue — #9
Is the motherboard onboard cache disabled or enabled?
When I had an 8500 and a NewerTech card if I ran the onboard cache alongside the CPU cache I would have some of the same issu…
1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #6
This program and driver allow custom resolutions using built-in video on a PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 8600. I have used it to get perfect 1920x1080 on an LCD for over a m…

somebody already laid claim to it, but I do have another B&W G3 with similiar specs and I wasn't 100% on if he wants the monitor or not. So depending on that you could take…

What could I do to diagnose the problem?

get a volt meter and start tracing voltages until it stops
Mac Classic corpse — #3
When I switch on absolutely nothing happens, no sign of anything working. That's why I checked that the mains voltage could be seen on the inside of the switch. Hence the word 'co…

cube hard drive issues — #10
Take the VRM (DC-DC board) out and clean the contacts. While it's out, look for evidence of overheating. If anything looks scorched, you probably should replace it. Check the rest …
cube hard drive issues — #9
The spin up/spin down issues you are experiencing suggest a flaky DC board; check the CubeOwner forums for more information on this. While you're at it, check the PRAM battery and…
Why the unusual frequency? — #18
In 1985 Steve Beck wanted to be able to project a Mac's video with a standard TV projector. I built up a bunch of dual ported VRAM (parallel I/O and built-in shift register) with a…
cube hard drive issues — #8
Some newer hard drives are low power 5900 RPM drives. I've started buying only LP because the power consumption is about 1/3 of a typical 7200 RPM drive they're replacing. For inst…

Hello. I will leap in and express an interest in the B&W G3 also. I currently only have a G3 iMac to run OSX on and would like to get a 'regular desktop' machine. I love…

Propeller God? :lol: No. I've done one project with the Prop, a temperature controller for a reptile enclosure. It used a 4x20 character LCD and I had to write the driver for tha…
Why the unusual frequency? — #16
Just again out of curiosity, what other projects have you done with a propeller? It doesn't look like it's actually *that* trivial to add high-speed external RAM to one. (Unless I'…
startup chime twice on cold boot — #16
If you have a Fry's Electronics, grab the battery there. They have them for round $5 or $6. Otherwise places like Radioshack charge an unbelievable $21 for a battery.
eMac HD replacement - yikes! — #10
They're good machines the eMacs but they are very loud and huge. The main part is that retarded cable that goes to the power button.
