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…

Out with the old, in with the new — #1

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 …

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #19

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #17

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 …

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #16

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…

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #15

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #14

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…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #9

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…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #8

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…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #7

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…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #6

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 …

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #5

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…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #3

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, …
