There's no way to undo the Firmware update. But, what you can do is mess-up your logic board and take it to an Apple Service Provider and let them order a new logic board. When t…

newer G3's are coming with the update made so chances are a replace,ent logic board will have that done already. I wouldn't stress about it. Apple will allow you to upgrade once th…

We'd like to use one of our older Macs as a print server. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How old of a Mac? Is it Ethernet capable, or Localtalk only? What volume of traffic? What kind of Printer? There are a lot of variables to consider. Please post more information!

Help guys, I have an all in one G3 educational unit and I just got a ATI Rage Orion 128bit accelerator card. I dropped the card into the PCI slot and found that the card will on…

There may be some hardware hack where you're able to string your internal monitor to your Rage 128 card, but that definatly requires some know-how and the right parts. As far as so…

I just bought a new Yosemite G3 and I am looking for anyone who could give me some help/advice on how to transfer files to and from a PowerBook 1400. I guess my two ultimate questi…

Check out the following site for information about gPort by Griffin Technologies. It installs into the modem slot and provides a serial port which supports localtalk networking. h…

i think the PB 1400 comes with onboard ethernet. if this is true all you need to get those files transferred is a $5 cable, and it will be ALOT faster than serial... you need a "et…

The 1400 doesn't have ethernet built in but does have scsi. Does you G3 have a scsi card? If so use the scsi disk mode on the powerbook. Jeff

An email from xlr8: "Thank you for asking about XLR8 upgrades! Keep an eye on our website, as that will be one of the first places to see an announcement for G3 upgrades for the …

I have been looking into external USB hard drives, as well as USB CDr's and have a few questions. The USB hard drive that I found was made by lacie and was 20 gigs. You can check…

Do you have an iMac or B&W G3? If it is an iMac then USB is your only shoice and I WOULD suggest LaCie, I have one of their SCSI CD-R's and it is excellent! --If you have a B…

I have a small amount of money available to purchase a scanner and digital camera for my middle school art students to use. The computer we will use is a power mac 5300/100 lc. Any…

I am looking at the new G4 computer. I would probably buy if it were not for that expensive monitor. Is there another company that makes the Apple "ice color" monitors that might…

The rumor is that the current 400 MHz G4 model, based on the old B&W motherboard, will be phased out fairly quickly. Does anyone know whether a 400 MHz Sawtooth model will rep…

Chances are that Apple will speed bump in November or December, phasing out Yosemite. Then 450 MHz will be the lowest speed, so there shouldn't be a 400 MHz sawtooth.

I'm about to buy a new iMac and iBook for myself and my fiancee. I will then have an 8600/250 and a Quadra 800. I'm using a cable modem with 10 base T ethernet for internet access.…

I'm not etirely sure about this, but a friend of mine has 3 Macs (an iMac, PowerComputing 180, and a Mac IIfx). Each computer is connected to the internet over a 56k modem, and the…

IP routing via IPNetRouter is not something that will tax your Quadra - even at 10Mbs speeds. If you are concerened about security you might want to use your Quadra for routing o…

I just scored an old IIci (for $100; new 'twas $6499 list) so that I wouldn't have to use my 7500 to do IPNR. It sits in the closet humming along (it was a former corporate server …

Using a IIfx with a cable modem as router machine on a 10base-t network, works fine, no lower speeds and very stable. I think it would be a waste to use a great machine like a 8600…

I agree, Jona. And I gotta recommend XLR8's bitchen new Carrier ZIF� card for the "Power Surge" series. It rocks!

I have an old iicx and i'd like to use that as a router for my cable modem. can anybody point me to some resources for maiking a macintosh router? any thoughtful comments would be …
