Excellent! I will only be using low density RAM - Thanks!

The 66 mhz slot should not effect it. If the card can fit into the slot normally, then it is rated for that speed. Are there any broken or loose solders on the VGA connector? I …

(1) Beige G3, ATI Rage 128 PCI video card, 17" Apple blue and white CRT monitor: works great. (2) Power Mac G4 "Yikes," with either of two similar ATI Rage 128 PCI video cards, an…

Can the G3 AIO take non low-profile DIMMS?

Thanks John, VLC plays 'em fine Just wish it wasn't such a slouch in loading time :

Just an FYI, the 30 gig that I yanked from the Vaio is an IBM Travelstar, and it's deathly silent. Unless it's reading or writing, you'd think this thing had an SSD in it. Add that…

As long as the first partition on the disk is less than 4GB, SCSI Disk Mode will work on the pre-G3 PowerBooks with high-capacity hard drives. Of course, only that first partition …

At this stage, I would recommend a CF card on an internal 2.5" IDE adapter if you really want flash storage. Click to expand... In case you use an internal CF-IDE adapter for t…

I've had no luck using a PCMCIA ATA Flash card to boot a Powerbook (G3 Lombard). I don't know at this point whether it's a bad card or a fundamental problem with that card type. …

If you do _not_ need the SCSI target disk mode but want to have plenty of storage, get a recent hdd that produces not too much noise. Avoid the old travelstar models. Consider to b…

1400s can't use internal SCSI drives, only ATA/IDE. They can take any size up to 136GB, but yes, if you use anything larger than 4GB, SCSI Disk Mode (target mode) will result in d…

I have 120GB in my Lombard and my sister's Pismo has a 40GB yanked from a mac Mini. Both are PC compatible drives.

As far as PowerBooks go, so long as they're IDE inside, you can use any bloody drive you like. I yanked the 30 gigger in my Pismo right now out of an old Sony lappy

Why don't you want to just get a generic IDE HDD? What do you think came in there from the factory? Every single PowerPC 'Book apart from the Duo 2300 shipped with a standard 2.5" …

That only applies to HDD's above 4 GB with the PowerBook 1400 series.

Hi Guys: I have a Pismo and a Powerbook 1400c that I'd like to get replacement (bigger) hard drives for. What should I look for? I don't want to just get a generic IDE hard drive …

It will in OSX, but OS9 requires it for audio as Franklinstein said. I think it gives some sort of error about audio hardware on boot, but I can't remember for sure. Click to ex…

Are they like the PDS cards that need a terminator installed if nothing is connected?

Why do you want to run the G3 without the personality card? Click to expand... Because then it would be like a mega church.

Why do you want to run the G3 without the personality card?

Thanks for that recommendation -- an external power jack is a definite plus. I'm sure I can dig up an Adaptec around these parts. Now I know what to look out for. Thanks again!

I've heard that those cards based on NEC chipsets have the best performance and compatibility under OS X. I'm using an Adaptec AUA-1420A, (NEC-based) and have had no problems with …
