I can't seem to find this anywhere-- exactly how much does a Disk ][ controller card weigh? Anyone have one to find out? Know off-hand? Here's a picture of one.

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.

Just the VGA signal. I'm assuming you're talking about a tray load iMac. Click to expand... Why yes. Yes I am [] ]'>

Could anybody tell me how to use Mac-On-Mac. I can't really figure it out. It has very little documentation. Thanks

Is the display cable on the inside that connects to the hunk of iMac carry any electricity or just the VGA signal?

The 9 ROM needs the OS 9 extensions and libs... so you'll get Mac OS 9 in the end.

Well I did the opposite. I placed the Mac OS 9.0.1 ROM image in the 8.6 system folder. It actually booted up with the Mac OS 8.6 welcome screen. That was short lived however, it wa…

G4 Required. The ZIF upgrade will get the system over the line but Apple has removed the kernel extensions for Gossamer and Heathrow so you will still only see a kernel panic. You…

When it does fail, you can hook it up to another monitor, or put it's hard disc into a b/w g3 or similarly old G4 tower.

My Grape iMac's CRT fails? The screen is rather dim but clear, it was burn in a bit. And it sometimes shows up red, witch I know in LCD's that the backlight is going so something e…

Does anyone know what would happen if I was to copy the Mac OS ROM file from the 8.6 CD while started up in 10.3.9 to the OS 9 system folder over the ROM version 9.0.1. Would that …

humm... I might stick with Tiger Click to expand... good choice, My Beige G3 AIO runs tiger quite well. Leopard strugles at times on my Digital Audio G4, it would probably brin…

Leopard must have a G4 to run but it can run on an upgraded beige: http://lowendmac.com/mail/0801mb/0130.html second letter.

You absolutely need a G4 to run Leopard from what I understand. Luckily you can drop in a G4 ZIF as long as it's 66 MHz bus compatible. The oldest I've heard is Leopard on a G4 up…

I will soon be getting a G3 AIO from Mike (thanks!) and I paln on upgrading it ot at least a 500mhz G3, maybe a 1ghz chip. How can I get leopard to run on this?

For 8.6 and later MOM/MOL doesn't need a ROM image.

My assumption would be that you can't use a 68k ROM with a PPC emulator... good luck, as you'll need somebody to rip a ROM image from an older PPC mac, maybe a 8100? Or even better…

ok, i switched the DVD drive back to the internal ATA bus and it is working in panther now!

how did you get it to work in panther? I am having a mess of trouble with it and i have the same exact drive and a newer video card.... Also, I tried the os 9 patch with no avail…

what i did was get a Radeon 7000 Mac edition and a Pioneer DVR-110D and all was good, in OS 9.2.2 with the hacked DVD player on http://www.os9forever.com/ even tho the DVD playbac…

Get some DVD player hardware (for example: the Plextor DVD burner 708A works great, region free firmware is available also, and the G3 will boot and install from this drive). Then …

I have a beige G3 (check signature) that I want to be able to play DVD's on. VLC kinds sucks for that because you can't do anything else while using it and even still it has a slo…

I copied the ROM image from my 68k Performa. Does anyone know how to get the QuickSliver machine running off that, or if that's even what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who has r…
