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…

You can try contacting support at Powerlogix or OWC.

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, …

The Jumpers are most likely the problem. Switch 'em to a higher config (450) and see what happens.

The machine: B&W G3 (Rev B) The upgrade: PowerLogix G3 1.1GHz The software: Mac OS 9.2.2 CPU Director 1.5f6 (application) CPU Director INIT 2.0b1 (extension) The …

You mean Mac OS 8? Sure. A 9600 can even still do 7.x, the last Power Mac that could. Click to expand... The 9600 requires 7.6.1. You can't even use a 7.6 install disc, it has …

i too have one but its working without any flaw

My 8500 (RIP) did very well with 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1. Did badly with 8.5 and 9.0.4. I would probably recommend 8.6.

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"? Click to expand... You have to have at least a minimal install of 9.x.x to run BootX so having an option for both seemed redundant.…

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"?

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not l…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! I'll just keep working on my X86/Radius 81/110 ubuntuGIMPbox™ Hack! )

The biggest problem I had was in copying the kernel and ramdisk from the installed system to the Mac OS partition. I didn't have a small HFS partition and Linux can't write to HFS+…

Ah, thanks. It's got the normal 540c chime. Oh well... Thanks for your help though!

Determine by startup chime. If it has a 540 chime, it is 68k. If it has a 500/PPC chime, it is PowerPC. http://mactracker.dreamhosters.com/

Nope, it doesn't have graphing calculator installed. Once I can get my PC and my 540c to play nice, though, I'll see if I can find a utility to tell me what processor is installed.…

Do you have Graphing Calculator installed? If so, it will give an error when you open it on a 68k Mac. "Sorry, Requires Power Macintosh" or something to that effect.

Ah, good. 9.2.2 is needed for the last update to the ATi drivers so I just hoped it could be done. I've also heard that 9.2.x is faster than 9.1. So now I just have to get OS9Helpe…

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/G…

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not …

I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up
