Grex, that's just part of Bunsen's signature - it appears in every single one of his posts, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. I was actually thinking the same as Bunsen, it look…

@Bunsen: Sorry, but that's NOT very helpful. Of course I searched the forum before posting, as any decent forum-user would. And naming some internetsites is also quite useless, co…

Hi guys. With all the talk about archiving old VHS tapes, I decided to set up a machine dedicated to this task. I chose my beige G3 MT, because I have the personality card with the…

Stick it in ebay saved searches, with email notification set for the next 12 months. That's how I've managed to find a lot of my rarer acquisitions.

As I already said, earlier and later version are quite as common as mud, but from Softwindows 3 on it's PPC only. I 've spent weeks searching for Version 2 in all terms, pronouncia…

I have SoftWindows 1.0.2 and 3: http://www.valleyofthelights.com/jcoventry/machut/files/emulation/ Couldn't find version 2 I'm afraid. :'(

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for posting a software-request here as a newbie, but I really ran out of ideas where else to search. I already spent several WEEKS (of course with breaks) i…

G3's in the 450 range are very cheap. I would buy a used g3 1Ghz before I invested the same amount of money into a g4-500. All in all I wouldn't bother with anything over a g3-450…

No, its my Mac OS 9 machine.

Are you using OS X? If so then the G4 500 will spank the G3 round the block and back. Whether it's worth the money or not is up to you.

Ideally I would like a 1GHz G4 upgrade for my B&W G3, but I can't really afford that. So, the next best thing, a 500MHz G4...these go a lot cheaper than the 1GHz for obviou…

Thanks guys I reseated the ram, the av card, and reinstalled mac is 9 (with my g4s radeon) and updated it to 9.2.2. Then I took out the gpu and the onboard video works great!!! :-…

The Beige series should have 2MB of VRAM built in and a slot for 4MB more to get to 6MB total. I don't think video works at all if the built in 2mb is bad, all the extra RAM does i…

beige G3 I had would not lite up the screen(VGA) with out the 4mb stick under OS9 Click to expand... And only under OS 9? Weird. If it was under both I would say it was a fau…

Well if it bongs, the AV/PERCH card is installed correctly. The AV card is the one that has the sound in/out ports on it, that is installed in a black slot (PERCH) next to the PCI …

Lets see im getting back to working on it and yes it does bong. I have no idea what the AV card is or what a PERCH socket is guys

The very first beige G3 I had would not lite up the screen(VGA) with out the 4mb stick under OS9. Honest...I had to buy one to get the machine to work.

Doesn't matter - there's 2MB onboard even without the optional 4MB DIMM

Did someone take out the memory simm,its pugs in right in front of the ZIF.

Make sure the AV card is seated properly in the PERCH socket. It often seems like it is when it isn't. Did you get a startup chime?

Some of those adapters have a bucket load of slider pins and the correct settings can be a real pain to get right, aer you sure it's configured correctly. Serously, I'd look into …

Well, if you're trying to use an old RGB monitor like the one for the IIGS it won't work, it has less pins even though the connector is the same. I'm not sure why a VGA monitor won…

How do I do it? I had a radeon in it and now I put it in my g4 mac pro. Now I want to put OS 9 on this beige g3 but am unsure how to get the on board video to enable itself.....I h…

I stand corrected. WPC54GS, not WRT54GS. My bad. I guess I was wrong about assuming OS9 compatiblity. Good luck!

Linksys WRT54GS / WRT54G v1 / use the Broadcom chipset / It ought to be recognized reasonably well in OS9 because it will be mistaken as an Airport card. Click to expand... The…
