Beige G3 or iMac G3? — #3

It's Brazil. Anything common before the Beige G3 is the Performa 6200/6300/6360. No 68k Macs. It's an auction site.

Beige G3 or iMac G3? — #2

Where are you located? Those prices sound kind of high unless you're looking at some kind of store.

Beige G3 or iMac G3? — #1

I will buy a G3 (very cheap here), however the question is the subject. Many come without keyboard or mouse, and no money is spare to buy a USB card, so I might get the iMac. Befo…

VST 100 zip drive PowerBook 3400c — #4

Did you try a PRAM reset? That has worked wonders for me on occasion, though admittedly under 10.3 more than 9.2.2.

I have never dealt with a MP120 personally, but it does have a socketed ROM, meaning that you can pull it and replace the ROM chip with another from (ideally) a MP120 that had been…

VST 100 zip drive PowerBook 3400c — #3

The VST drivers are simply rebadged Iomega drivers which are loaded. Restarting into my 8.6 partition, see what that does.

Dumb question I know, but you have installed the Zip drivers, right? Also, I've never dealt with one of those VST drives before - do they need special drivers, or do they use the n…

I'm impressed. Especially on how nice the external case looks. I actually salvaged all the Indigo Blue parts from my old 350Mhz, and I'm thinking about polishing them up a bit. Som…

How the hell do you replace the speakers in a G3 iMac? — #2

Also, I'd just like to say whoever thought it was a brilliant idea to put so much plastic in the *internal* chasis out to be drug out into the street and shot. This stuff gets VERY…

How the hell do you replace the speakers in a G3 iMac? — #1

Okay, I'm stumped on this one. I've torn apart my 350Mhz Idigo because I plan on robbing it for parts in case my 500, or another machine I'm hoping to get, goes down (hopefully not…

Well, it looks like the fault is in the PAV board itself. Not dead, but still very weak. Solution? The "donor" system arrived today. It's an Indigo G3, case is pretty scuffed but…

I hope this doesn't seem like thread hijacking. It's kinda related... What are the risks of disassmbling an iMac down to the CRT? I'm always heard that CRTs are oh-so-dangerous be…

iMac600, if you need parts, let me know. I've got a iMac DV SE with 500 Mhz G3, Firewire 400, that currently has a bad P.A.V. Board I need to get rid of. It's either that or I've…
