I'm not sure how I'm going to get xpostfacto on the new drive. Is there a way to run two ide drives at once? I think I read somewhere you can't.

I've fiddled with OS X and XPostFacto on a number of beige G3s, and my conclusion is that you should use either 10.4 Tiger or 10.2 Jaguar. There's no reason ever to use 10.3 Panthe…

Ok, I'm still trying to figure out what os to put on, but I'll probably still go with tiger if it installs. I came up short on cash this week so I haven't ordered everything, and t…

I'd see about using xpostfacto to install 10.3 on it. I found that 10.2 was a nightmare on the older G3 hardware (beige G3, Wallstreet Powerbooks). Not to mention, Panther just r…

I have the install discs for tiger that came with my iBook. Click to expand... Those are 'system-specific' installation discs. Are their labels grey? 'Original' in this conte…

I have the install discs for tiger that came with my iBook.

as far as running panther or tiger, you have to have the original system discs. It won't install without help from xpostfacto, but i can guide you along if that is the route you w…

I thought the maximum OS for it was 10.2.8, but if it'll run tiger, i'll put that on instead.

Very nice. If I may ask though, why 10.2.8? A machine like that is just crying for 10.3 or 10.4...not to mention that you'll be able to run more modern software, too

Nice. I love my BeigeG3MT. Maybe not as much as my 8500, but still plenty of love left over for sharing.

ReallyCool Dude! Talk like that got me almost ran off another fourm.The G5 Intel Elite would tell you to kick that crap to the curb like they did me. I say stick it to the man an…

Over the past couple days or so I've been working on a G3 mini tower I picked up on ebay for $30 shipped. So far all I've done is clean it up a bit, get it running, and check to se…

Is there A PROGRAM.DSK that does this thing where ones I transfer the disk image to the real Apple IIgs I can use it to communicate with the PC and turn my Apple IIgs into a server…

Is there a Kermit program available?

Hello, I have one question I need to ask, I have already ADT Pro to transfer disk images but what if I want to transfer SINGLE file from PC to my Apple IIgs. In my Apple IIgs HD t…

Yes, please clarify that. Thanks!

AFAIK, the Pismo has only one CCFL, at the bottom. In fact, I can't think of a 'book of that age that uses more than one. Coius -- do you have a list of which "older" books you're…

meh, for that price, you can't go wrong. Also, doing a replacement on backlights is a BIG thing. Very hard to do, so if you aren't in for spending a few hours doing it, go ahead. …

I'm going to take the plunge and get a backlight for my Pismo. Does this look like a trustworthy seller? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-LCD-CCFL-Backlight-APPLE-Powerbook-G3-14-1-WXGA_W0…

I bought a raedon 9700 off of ebay. it's alot faster than the stock video card. but its basically a radeon 9800 but with less memory. for 89.00 it wasnt a bad deal.... I'm happy…
