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…

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…

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…

Much in the same way as how stuff you order from Apple decides to show up after you decide to cancel your order. (back in 2004/2005 I waited 3 months to get an iPod, the very da…

Well, it seems to have decided to fix itself after I made an appointment at the Genius Bar; funny how these machines fix themselves when you call Apple

book123, I have sent you a link. If anyone else needs these files, send me a PM and I will give you the link.

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 been able to use iBook disks on other macs. Thats the only ones that seem to be workable. Click to expand... The retail discs are model-agnostic. However, the discs that…

The standard things to check are the connectors, both at the motherboard and at the display panel itself. The latter in particular are somewhat infamous for developing poor contact…

The screen keeps flickering a brown hue and colors are off. :-/ halp? :O

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…

Hi all, please anybody could share the Mac OS ROM 2.5.1 or the os 8.6 for my Sawtooh? I have 8.5 original, but it wont run thanks in advance.

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.
