If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

Oh yeah, let me get onto that.... Edit: Should be sorted now [] ]'>

The wiki doesn't seem to be fully back online yet. I got to an initial page, logged in, but when trying to return to the page got a Parser.php error.

Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…

Some of the old ones are rated 83MHz, yes. Many of the people I talk to don't seem to know about that, so I thought I might mention it.

What do you mean? If you identify the spec on the MPC106 ("Grackle") chip, you can usually figure out what a good possibility is for overclocking the bus. The MPC106 came in 89 M…

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

Is the Radius display any good? Click to expand... It's a good sharp display. It only seems to go to 640x480 but that may have just been the 6100's poor onboard video.

Is the Radius display any good?

Picked this set up today for $10. http://houston.craigslist.org/sys/438997483.html Also got a box of cables and stuff.

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.

A 233Mhz G3 seems to be very slow for OSX to me. I would run OS 9.2.2 on it and dig out some old OS 9 Apps for it, the thing would fly. A little more RAM would probably be nice, al…

Any thoughts as to what to do with it now we know the specs? I am leaning more towards parent's computer. Click to expand... Get a little bit more Ram and put Tiger on it - …

if you have the modem in the slot on the personality card, why would you ever need a modem serial port? / My performa 6200 had one Click to expand... Because you might have mor…

Alright, had the chance to boot it. Looks to be a video editor machine. Has a 100mb image of commercials, dunno if they were made by them or not, but the HD is labled "E. D. Jacobs…

Yes, the 8600 has internal video. None of the 6 slot PCI Macs (9500, 9600) have built in video or any A/V functions so those ports are blocked off.

Nope, 9600s don't have internal video. I think the 8600 does, and can confirm that the G3MT definately does.

Yes, there is most likely a port behind it. I suppose apple didn't want people to connect their old external modems and have it conflict with the internal modem, that's what the pr…

so there is a second serial port behind that? I will open her up tomorrow and look. oh, forgot to mention it's the minitower, not the desktop yeah, the modem looked to be on a ca…

No no no, what I meant was, if you have the modem in the slot on the personality card, why would you ever need a modem serial port? That's why apple put blanks over the modem port…

I've never heard of a beige with a single serial port. There are two built in to the motherboard. The modem lives on the PERCH card, so that's not it. What the hell, punch out t…

a single serial port (wtf? the other one has a blank), a built in modem Click to expand... Just answered your own question I'm willing to bet the serial port with the blank…
