I finally installed a new HD, 8.6, and attempted to hunt down Vimage drivers. No luck except for a .img that did not work. So I tried the xlr8 drivers and boom, unhappy mac with …

A great feature of xpostfacto is the possibility/necessity to use any disk supported in the early boot process as a helper disk and to boot afterwards into any other disk supported…
You can also run Jaguar natively on the machine as it was supported.
I too have had many problems with running the bus at 83MHz and using more than 1 HDD, which is sad because the…
Cubes are fun machines.
When you put it all back together, was everything nice and tight and all cables run in their appropriate channels? Due to their compact design, things c…
Hmm I have one of of those little gems, and I can tell you they are very nice indeed. However I have mine now in the back room gathering dust after my cat walked across my keyboar…
I recently picked up an Apple IIc with monitor, and although the IIc is working perfectly the monitor appears to be completely dead. Having stripped it down I've discovered that th…
When I connect it to another machine in SCSI Disk Mode, only the 4GB partition shows up, and I can transfer data to and from it with no problems.If you should try this, and both pa…

These upgrade cards, their speeds, the differences between them, etc. is probably the most well documented of the powerbook upgrades out there.
Compares Sonnet's upgrade cards:

Interesting.
Is there an objective, side-by-side analysis of 1400 upgrade cards that show performance, heat, and power impacts?
I've also got a 333 MHz Sonnet card that I bought …
I know this is a bit off topic, but the 233 Vimage G3 upgrade, IMHO, is not worth the effort.
It runs too hot and bleeds the battery.
All the best.

I stuffed up my installer disk image. I haven't tested the .sea file, but if everything worked as it should (D…
Sorry, should have stated the G3 upgrade.
Good to know though that it will work regardless while I hunt down online drivers. This shall be my next project.
The driver is required to activate the L2 cache. Otherwise, the CPU module will work fine. A G3 without cache is virtually the same thing as a 603e. I have that same processor u…
Driver for the hard drive or the G3 upgrade?

For shits and giggles, take the hard drive out and just boot from an os x disk, see what happens.

I have:
G3 desktop

24x cd-rom
ATI Radeon 9200 PCI

I'd take it back to when you replaced the hard disk - did you set master/slave on the new drive? The fact that it's chiming, booting to a grey screen suggests all is good - so I'…
