I already have the spec sheet, Quadraman. I had to find it on an alternate website, however, as the links on Freescale transfer to Tundra Semiconductor (the now-owner of the PCI/me…

Probably the easiest way to transfer applications would be a serial cable between 2 Macs. Will be really slow though :-\

Nice. Is it a 117mhz or 133mhz?

Nice find, the PowerBook 1400s are great machines to mess about with. One of the best upgrades I can recommend is RAM - I upped mine from 16MB to 40MB with a 24MB expansion card an…

They wanted $20 for it, but since they couldn't show me that it really worked, I offered $15. The machine itself had decent wear and tear, but still looked pretty good. Since the…

You can set the multiplier of the PCI bus independently, so you can change the timing when you change the bus clock. In fact, you can change the bus clock, PCI clock, and CPU mult…

My G3MT runs on an 83MHz bus, and yes, the processor is lightly overclocked as a result (416MHz instead of 400). I use a socket 7 heatsink with a little fan on it. My G3DT runs on …

If other people knew about it, there would be no point in me saying anything about it. The whole thing is simple, really: just look for the system controller - a small FCBGA microc…

If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

Hi, I've just acquired a mac plus (nothing strange there) with an extremely strange external hardrive. It's a paradise scsi 20 mb external hardrive. It has two connectors, a SCSI…

Oh yeah, let me get onto that.... Edit: Should be sorted now [] ]'>

The wiki doesn't seem to be fully back online yet. I got to an initial page, logged in, but when trying to return to the page got a Parser.php error.

Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…

Some of the old ones are rated 83MHz, yes. Many of the people I talk to don't seem to know about that, so I thought I might mention it.

What do you mean? If you identify the spec on the MPC106 ("Grackle") chip, you can usually figure out what a good possibility is for overclocking the bus. The MPC106 came in 89 M…

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

Daystar have a G4 for Lombards, but it's $299. Yeowch Click to expand... ... hmmm... $55 rebate if you send your CPU and heatsink back to them afterwards $100 rebate if you …

MacDan says they'll take any standard laptop optical drive [] ]'> Click to expand... And he is very much-so correct, provided that you're running OS X. (or OS 9 if you…

Man I would LOVE to have an iBook G3 Clamshell. I really love the design. Too bad that I can't find any of them except on powerbookguy.com and it does not look too good for being i…

$50 for a 512MB SDRAM SoDIMM is pretty good; I just forked out $60 for 2 x 512MB for my PB Ti, "fastmemoryman" is cheaper but appears to have heaps of negative feedback. I only th…

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.
