I guess it'd sort of be an inefficient print server, but it's at least quiet. I use mine as a music server. Mine isn't cracked on top, it's definitely got some blemishes though.
I…

These are technically things I acquired in 2014 but I've only gotten a chance to start playing with them recently.
First off, picked up an iMac G4 mostly so I could have a fast OS…

Oh wow I was literally using one about an hour ago. Mines installed in a Quadra 800. My hints are:
Systems above 7.1 don't require the enabler
You must physically turn off the …
Scored this almost new box of powerPC upgrade. The box is distressed and has markers "$10.00" and "Do not open" plus some water stain. But inside is quite nice with books, papers, …
I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…
Good point.
I've trimmed down all my of computers and now have:
My sawtooth
My BeigeG3 MT
My 5300cs
My 8600 soon to be parted out
However if this was 2 years ago and I still …
If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …
Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…
Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH!

Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…
As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1.
I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss.
I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…
I received a reply from Otherworld Computing (on a Saturday, no less!). I'm posting it in its entirety for future reference...
PowerPC 750FX and 750GX upgrades support a fea…
Yes, after a little trial and error, I had mine at full speed for both OS 9 and OSX.
If OWC doesn't solve the problem, I'll get my machine out of storage later this week and check…
If you enable dynamic power management, doesn't that mean the CPU drops to half-speed when possible, as in idling while you look at a CPU speed screen? CPUD and other speed sensing…
Okay I emailed OWC's tech support. In the meantime...
Metronome indicates that my bus speed is indeed set to 100MHz. I double checked my jumpers and they are correct for that sett…
I have a PowerLogix 1.1 ghz processor that's in a B&W G3. It ignored the motherboard jumper settings as far as processor speed went. I never did try changing the bus speed …
Hmm, for some reason I'm getting no quote button at the bottom of messages.
Anyway, if you're getting 650 MHz when set to a 11:1 ration, then the bus speed of your B&W mus…
No dice. I moved the number one jumper to the number four position as shown here to no effect. Apple System Profiler and Metronome still report 650 MHz. TattleTech, interestingly, …
