i have one w/ a G4 in it. they are very easy to OC, i would suggest swapping the 400mhz cpu and pci cards in from your dead g3, and then OCing the cpu to 450mhz (i added an extra f…

OK Here is the specs: 300mhz proc (Back of it says 350, strange...) 192MB RAM (128,64) 12GB HD OSX 10.4.11 Good Plastics. Pics compared to my other BW Soon.

If the US government states you need to overwrite a HD with 1's for so many passes, there is a good reason for it. I would asume the head of the drives reads a few magnetic particl…

If you wipe a drive with one pass of zeroes then all the data is gone for good, whether you have a clean room and electron microscope or not. Click to expand... Has anyone pro…

Thread= REALLY OLD.

It also sounds like you could have a bad down converter in it. Put the drive in another computer and see if it spins up. If the down converter is going bad, the drive could just b…

I think the WGS may have started with 100, but the one I have is the "speed bump" 110. There is a "technically" faster point with the Radius; the internal SCSI buss is faster than…

Just got the A OK to take the B&W G3 in the lab home! I am going to combine both of them to make a great server! WooHoo!

If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it. Click to expand... So…

I would have to concur. I KNOW I have that document you are referencing SOMEWHERE in my collection picked up along my career as a performance engineer. Hmm.... IF most drives tha…

Isn't the Radius 81/110 faster than the Powermac/WGS? I thought the Apple machines were only 100mhz.

G3 266 / ATTO card, ProTools SA4, and SampleCell / hi-speed 18 Gig drives. Click to expand... Awww yyyeah, now we're talking

those early Macs use drives that are specific to Macs and you can't use non-Mac drives in them. Yanking the hard drive and scrapping it renders the whole machine useless. Click …

Goodness!!!!! Does that key hack work on the Quadra 950????? Mine takes forever and a day to start up since it's got the full 256 megs of ram installed. I wish I bought more ram…

Any chance you work on IIFX motherboards that the idiot previous owners left to battery decay? I know there is at least one pad gone there and who knows what else. but the boards …

I am looking for a PRAM battery for my 3400c, where did you find those $12 batteries? I really could use a link to it. Mind you, I am in the USA, so it would have to be either c…

To address JDW and Quadraman's concerns, yes I do replace ALL of the caps or parts documented and suggested for being replaced; I leave no stone unturned. And I return to you all …

Now if that was an ANS (Apple Network Server 700) I might be convinced to run from the police with one of those... Wait, that might kill me in the process. Still worth it.

Or are you just referring to the "dot" part that to the inexperienced means very little.... Click to expand... bingo

Did I read that correctly? A + on a new capacitor doesn't mean positive lead anymore? Or are you just referring to the "dot" part that to the inexperienced means very little....

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…

They pretty much are all bad. This has been true in my own experience and one can also come to that conclusion logically when reflecting upon how many years ago the boards were ma…
