Very insightful comments trag, thank you. I played a bit with the CE pins before, attempting to make a direct connection to ground which didn't help. I think I'll test the voltag…

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3.
Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

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 plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…
You can't really compare bulk lots to singles. Bulk lots are always cheaper because the seller is offloading the hassle of picking them up, sorting them and throwing out the dead …

I was under the impression that usb 2 will not run under os 9.x so you are stuck with usb 1.1 speeds.
I do own a sonnet tempo 133 card so this is starting to sound like the best …
Was randomly surfing for parts and found a place selling 1gb memory sticks for this machine cheap. I have 2 of them on the way for $37 shipped so I'll have the full 2gb of DDR2 533…

Good question. Dunno right now - maybe I'll sell it or pass it on to a friend.

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.

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…

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…
