Just want to let you know, I got the laptop (Will write the guy a PM after this) and right now, I am on wifi posting through Classilla. Btw, classichasclass did a really good job …

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3. Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

The SCSI card that I will eventually use is the ATTO SE IVD, but it si currently not installed. Click to expand... IIRC, neither the Sonnet, nor the NewerTech upgrades were com…

Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

I plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…

You can't really compare bulk lots to singles. Bulk lots are always cheaper because the seller is offloading the hassle of picking them up, sorting them and throwing out the dead …

I was under the impression that usb 2 will not run under os 9.x so you are stuck with usb 1.1 speeds. Click to expand... Correct

I was under the impression that usb 2 will not run under os 9.x so you are stuck with usb 1.1 speeds. I do own a sonnet tempo 133 card so this is starting to sound like the best …

Was randomly surfing for parts and found a place selling 1gb memory sticks for this machine cheap. I have 2 of them on the way for $37 shipped so I'll have the full 2gb of DDR2 533…

Just saw this on CL, for comparison. Click to expand... You can't really compare bulk lots to singles. Bulk lots are always cheaper because the seller is offloading the hassle…

Yeah, with the RAM, shipping and all those accessories, that seems pretty fair.

taerG boJ!

Good question. Dunno right now - maybe I'll sell it or pass it on to a friend. Cinema Display works - I'm using it now. There's one column of stuck pixels (ie a 1 pixel wide ver…

I agree with the other posts that $50 is way too much for most G3 iMacs. I couldn't get $20 for the slot load 350MHz one I had; ended up giving it to a small non-profit.

Personally, I couldn't be bothered with an iMac under 600MHz. If you don't even plan on doing anything with it, then pass entirely. Click to expand... As I mentioned in my sec…

See the bolded sentense Click to expand... *clears throat* Should I guess this was simply a joke? Click to expand... No, taht is me bieng too lzay to use the splelchcek.

Thats a good deal for a high-res model. I'd like to compare one with my 1.5GHz 12" sometime just to see how much faster it is. Its crazy how much those things still sell for whe…

That RAM is definitely a rarity.

Another question...I have two Kangas, and the one with 64MB of RAM boots noticably faster than the one with 160MB of RAM. There's a noticable pause between the power-on chime and t…

Damn osgeld kinda odd how close you live to me yet how different the area is. Around here it is more redneck/wiggers/wanna be thugs... yay. Also, I still have the number of that pl…

Personally, I couldn't be bothered with an iMac under 600MHz. Click to expand... Yep. On the other hand, if it is slot loading you could put those coloured case bits onto a 600…

In the mid-west. Click to expand... I'm in the midwest too (Kansas) and still don't think a G3 iMac is worth much of anything. Ya, we don't have much to choose from around her…
