Well, fixed the slowness problem, but now when I try to install a new 400mhz g3 upgrade card, I get a bong but no display. Ram is confirmed good, as is video. CUDA reset and PRAM …

So in a sense, if I want to overclock, maybe it would be better to stick with a Rev A board? Then I can just buy a pretty decked out G3 (well, nothing very fast) and stick with thi…

The rev A motherboards were the only ones that did 83Mhz I think (kind of like how the Wallstreet 1 did 83Mhz FSB while the later wallstreets were stuck at 66Mhz only).

Ebay seller IC-China has fast ZIF G3s for dirt cheap. They are sold as-is, but for $15 and flat $5 worldwide shipping, who cares? Look under Chips/Motorola and Chips/IBM. As for…

i used a G3 450 CPU from a B&W (it clocks up to 466mhz in the Beige G3 cause of the 66mhz bus in the Beige) it runs great. i also have 768mb ram in my AIO which alows it t…

I once saved a program from an IBM PC 5150's ROM BASIC onto cassette, loaded it back in, then listened to the recording. This was just so I could say that I've loaded an IBM PC pro…

The mains RFI filter capacitor has exploded, caused by a period of disuse. The component is completely non-essential to the unit's operation, and you can safely continue to use it…

drivejumper.com/ClockupG3/homepage.html is a fairly good resource for this sort of thing, when the page loads... Anyways, the Royal VRMs are the bad ones. The Raytheons are good, …

Yeah, get with the times and upgrade already. Everyone's doing it!

cache is built into the processor card, so you dont have to worry about that. you will, however, have to worry about the voltage regulator. There is a certain brand that fries an…

I'd like to get a faster G3 before getting a G4. The only reason to run G4 would be OSX but I have another machine with that. I'd just like to trick it out enough to get the Wings …

how much are you looking to upgrade it? I upgraded mine pretty intensely. Specs are in the signature. macsales.com is where i get most of my parts.

The ROMs are on SIMMs so getting a B or C revision is not an issue. I upgraded one of mine to a later revision just so slave drives on the IDE bus worked. I think there are also is…

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!!
