I downloaded xpostfacto and tried to install tiger on my machine with the dvd drive I installed. It installed some files on the new hard drive I installed then rebooted and the scr…

i have installed it, installation with the pre defined partition size takes only about 39.6 MB. but no luck, it doesn't run on 68k.

@nlp: Thanks for searching and testing it for me! German is not a problem for me, as it is my mother tongue (I couldn't find any german 68k-Mac-Forums on the web). I am not sure …

You might have better luck in the trading post rather than here.

i have found softwindows2 on a 12-year-old cd, and the cd is still readable. but: the installation is in german. if you can't find an english installer, you can use this one. UP…

I'll PM you if I find it.

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…

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. :'(

Oh yeah, I noticed that I have two devices on one IDE channel, the CD drive and the Zip drive. I'm thinking about swapping the zip drive for the hard drive and seeing if it recogni…

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…

Well, Got some more parts today. (DVD Drive, RAM, VRAM, and USB 2.0 card) Unfortunately the USB 2.0 card isn't compatible with the beige models. It wouldn't even chime at startup. …

I am running OS X on my PB G3 Lombard and it needs a G4. I know there are upgrades for it out there, but I can't find one for the life of me that wouldn't require a government bai…

I think it would make more sense to get a new 120mm fan instead, though I've read the B&W G3 uses a 2-pin connector not the normal 3 pin. Click to expand... Two pin con…

I would like to make my B&W G3 near-silent, like my iMac. I know it's possible, but I am curious to see if anyone else on here has performed this procedure. This guide tak…

Update... Success! I have two hard drives now on the optical drive ata bus.

An update: I'm short on cash, but I was able to scrape together enough money to buy everything but the new processor and the video card. I also ended up getting a USB 2.0 card beca…

Well I just threw in a 27GB WD on there and it worked without a hitch, even without jumpers! Thanks for the reassurance guys. I tried this before and it didn't work but I found ou…

Yes. The Optical drive will be the master on that bus.

I wasn't I was going to use it as part of server storage. I assume that cable is slave right?

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable? Click to expand... I used to on my graphite. Just make sure the jumpers are set correctly. The b…

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable?

There were three revisions of the Beige G3 ROM: -A (LROG434-01/02), -B (LROG434-02) and -C (LROG434-03), and all with part no 820-0954. There are five subspecies of the Rev. A, but…
