Hey Guys: In a move of nostalgia, I dusted off my old 233 Beige G3 MT (bought it at the old CompUSA Apple Store within a Store) and wanted to fire it up. Well, the HD started maki…

Rev. F Duo keyboards are not bad. Really. Click to expand... I guess all of mine are revs A through E. Has anyone documented what the differences are among the various Duo …

Success! After destroying my first CF-IDE adapter, I got two new ones in the mail and finally got around to putting a 1GB CF drive in. I booted with the case off with both the SCS…

Didn't read the page, but the bits I glossed over reflect my recollections: http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/nondestructively_resizing_volumes I don't know if you need an Intel…

how can i partition my hd without deleting the info mac 10.4.X

I have the full 1GB in my B&W so I know what you mean.

haha it is all pretty much nostalgia, but it is my hobby! My beige is 128MB of being maxed out!

Yes g4's exist for Nubus, a slow one not worth bothering with (240Mhz?). Any apps that would make use of a G4 would choke on a Nubus machine. If you already have the CPU then stic…

You can slap a G4 into an old Nubus PPC machine and it will still be slow Click to expand... You can get a G4 for a nubus mac?????

to coiusI also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work be…

if it still doesnt work, you should try the atx power supply hack. although it might just be safer to get your hands on something like a quicksilver or some g4 with a bigger power…

Very nice!!

Thu. Sep 4th 2008 12:40 AM - Up & Running I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…

The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…

I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.

haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…

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…

On the other hand, what is it with beige motherboards dying? I replaced the one in mine twice over the years. Both times the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 bootin…

If you really just want to own a G3 iMac, and particularly if it's one of the more collectable color variations, like "Flower Power" or "Blue Dalmation", sure, go ahead. Try not to…

My recent switch from three 500MHz/1GB iMacs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger to a single G4 DA (quickly upgraded from 466 to 533 to 733MHz) was to be able to drive a 20-in ADC di…

Say what? I distinctly recall MacAddict doing an article on various machine upgrades. They upgraded on and painted it to look like a marshall amp. Click to expand... That was …

You can test the Lombard internal fan by itself. Disconnect it and make a drawing of the three wire colors and where they go into the plug housing. Then if necessary remove the c…

Perhaps you can find a 5V point somewhere and connect the internal fan directly to that. Maybe on the USB port. It won't be temperature controlled, but at least it'll run. It wo…
