Overclocked MolarMac problem — #6

Apple's late-model CRT-based systems seem to have numerous problems like this. I've got an original iMac with a failing flyback, and one of the original B&W G3 companion di…

17" Fan Weirdness — #5

Wallstreet and PDQ information thread — #7

Wallstreets: Available fixed-resolution 12" STN, 13.3" TFT, and 14.1" TFT displays. I've read that 12.1" TFT was a later option, but haven't seen it confirmed anywhere. Very low-…

ALERT: eBay Auction, Hyperdrive 512k in Disguise! — #12

That's a "Macintosh" sticker on the face of that Mac in the EBAY auction. You can see how the right side of it is reflecting in the sun. The real question at this point is, WHY p…

Little known fact of the 350's, they can run tiger natively. Even apple says so. Click to expand... It's just rather difficult to install, because there's no DVD drive or Fire…

Hmm. I hope mine does not die. It will not be used daily, it will go next to my G3/350.

Rev A iMac G3 — #8

Just one thing to remember about trayloading iMacs: If you use it regularly, expect the monitor to lose its flyback transformer within a year or two. I gave away my Rev. B (same th…

Weren't HyperDrive labels red text? I'd bet that is a dealer's sticker. I can't make out what the label on the auctioned Mac says. It's likely that if there was once a HyperDrive i…
