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…

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 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…

I have a PC PCI version of the 5500 that I bought for a liquidation price of $75 unopened shortly after 3dfx threw in the towel. I got it because it was looking at that time like t…

I know Amiga users with PCI busboard upgrades love the PCI Voodoo 5500 because they have drivers that support 3dfx. As far as keeping it or selling it, that depends what you will …

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…

It is the Mac edition. I have had one for years running in an 8600/300 (604ev) that we have here in the house, in which it behaves itself just fine, though I gather that they were …

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…

Voodoo 5 5500 The Voodoo 5 5500 comes in three flavors: a universal AGP version (AGP 1/2x, prototypes were made with AGP4x-interface) with full sideband support, PCI, and the Mac …

That 5500 is the mac edition then, the PC ones had just VGA I think.

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…

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…

To add insult to injury, the damage to the ribbon caused a short which took out the Combo drive! I always make triple-sure now to put the short hex screw in the middle. :'( Cl…

Fortunately we have a recycling depot that doesn't lock the gate at night, so there are pickings to be had – you just have to be ready to run if the cops drive by. Click to expa…

Have you tried it on a known-good power adapter? My 12" PowerBook would not charge for a while because the plug (actually the wiring to the plug where it bends before entering the …

Wahahahhaha. :rambo:

Nah, before my sister was born, he took all kinds of computing jobs all over the world. We were not the richest people back then, but we sure had a heck of a great time traveling. …

To remove the keyboard you have to loosen this little clip that holds the flat ribbon cable from the keyboard in. It's a hard-to-describe procedure but it's really easy. The sock…
