Not criticizing, just enquiring. I wondered if they had bumped up the CPU or something.

Hi! I have 64 MB(3x?) ram sticks for PM 8500 and processor upgrades 604-233 MHz and G4-400MHz

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

First off, how much RAM? That could be why OS 9 is choking.

Hi, I posted awhile ago about a non working Power Mac 8500. The problem was that it had no video out. Fortunately, it was just the adapter that didn't work, and I found a new Mac …

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... Dunno, ask alk, my guess would be VRAM . . . :-/ . . . and maybe the LCD ASIC. Whatcha want, egg in your…

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"?

iTunes? yuck. I already use it as my programming machine anyway.

I still use my 350MHz iMac Summer 2000 "Fireball", with its upgraded 320MB RAM. The 6.99GB Quantum Fireball is a bit limiting though. Click to expand... Use it as a satellite …

Mustang EVT PtotoBook I guess it's fitting that “my Eleanor” is the Mustang EVT, the prototype of a souped up 5300ce. I've had two run-ins with this machine of myth. The first tim…

I use a MIDI Timepiece (original) by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). I think even the modern versions have an 8-pin serial port for older Macs. MOTU's own FreeMIDI software works good.…

Yes there was - it was briefly marketed as an upgrade for the Beige G3 (not slot compatible with AGP graphics G4s). I think it was pulled for power and/or reliability issues. You…

OMS is also freely available (Open Midi System). Apple MIDI Manager runs best on older System software (7.x.x and below). There's nothing wrong with a 61xx if you're running a st…

You will also need MIDI software. Click to expand... Apple's MIDI Manager is freely available.

I hated my 6116. I would get the suggested MIDI kit and use that instead on the 7500.

There are MIDI kits for the mac serial port (macman midiman for one), try to find one of those. You will also need MIDI software.

I am thinking of buying a macintosh performa 6116. I would like to connect to this machine a roland mt-32 so to play old adventures like sierra with roland sound. Does this mac mod…

...but upgrading would require pulling money out of my MacBook savings!

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…

What a shame...

What the heck happened?

I have pc-133 in my g3. as well as my g4,hd mem I have herd does not work, so try to stay away from it, but you can try it if you find it,
