all I know is my head is spinning with all of these video card names. I know about them all, but when you list them all in one post, and connect them, that's a major brain fart …

People say "Rage IIc", but they really mean Rage II+DVD (the two are virtually the same thing, and the underlying 2D/3D acceleration of the II+DVD is the same as the IIc). I've ne…

The BIV would be a Rage IIc...the Rage II was basically a redesigned Mach64. On top of that, those were the only three chips that Apple used on the Beige G3s: The Rage IIc, Rage II…

I installed the ATI utilities, and it recognises the PCi card as a Rage Pro. The built in stuff is a Mach64, and ASP identifies that as having 4mb of VRAM. No idea how much the car…

I also noticed the ATI video card has a SGRAM slot, which is odd, because I do not know of any older ATI Rage cards with expandable memory. I will ID it in ASP as soon as I am done…

nope, at least I don't think I do. Maybe in this one big box of computer parts. I did have 3-4 52x drives I got cheap, and a 32x sony drive... -digital

If I had a spare CD-ROM, I would swap that in. Hell, if I had an apple DVD-ROM, I would pop my decoder card from my RAGE 128 in my B&W on to the ATI video card in it. Cl…

alright, I scrapped Rhapsody, since I could not get it to configure my network right, even manually inputting the IP, DNS, subnet, gateway, and all that. So, I popped in my OS 9.2…

in gauge pro (in OS 9.2.2) shows my memory performance at 75mb/second - 78mb/second and that is with a G3 450mhz (OC to 466 cause of system bus) system bus is at stock 66mhz with 3…

If you overclock, I am pretty sure you will need PC100 memory to run at 83mhz. And I checked my two G3's and they both have the 66mhz chips.

the only way i can get OS X to install on my Beige G3 is by using the stock 24x cd drive. it boots instantly and installs flawlessly. if i use any other drive it wont boot or fails…

Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll often have trouble reading perfect discs, or just crap out half-way through an install for no reason. Click to expand... Yes…

You're not using the original POS Matsushita-manufactured optical drive, are you? Try a different drive and see if that helps. Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll …

Man, I gotta check my facts. 82.9 MHz? Yeah. Try 83.3. ;-) That sounds a bit like a corrupted CD. Rhapsody DR2, eh? I've got OS X Server 1.2, and it seems to work well on a…

alright, the jag CD I have is not working. It boots after 10 minutes, but all I get is a blue background with a moveable mouse pointer, and nothing else. So, I turned it in to an …

There may be some main bus <-> PCI bus timing issues that make running at 66 MHz more sensible. I'm no expert, but I would think it would be a simple question to ans…

yep... teh onboard on the 6100 goes up to 832 x 624 @ 256 colors. dooes it has any extras like a dos card or HV card?

Nah, the onboard can handle more than that

I already have the spec sheet, Quadraman. I had to find it on an alternate website, however, as the links on Freescale transfer to Tundra Semiconductor (the now-owner of the PCI/me…

You can set the multiplier of the PCI bus independently, so you can change the timing when you change the bus clock. In fact, you can change the bus clock, PCI clock, and CPU mult…

Is this what you were looking for? http://tinyurl.com/yrcgl4

My G3MT runs on an 83MHz bus, and yes, the processor is lightly overclocked as a result (416MHz instead of 400). I use a socket 7 heatsink with a little fan on it. My G3DT runs on …

If other people knew about it, there would be no point in me saying anything about it. The whole thing is simple, really: just look for the system controller - a small FCBGA microc…
