I have a B&W G3/350(running at 400). I have the stock Rage128 card w/DVD decoder. I added a second card(Xclaim 3D Plus) with tv out. The DVD software cannot see the DVD decoder…

Ok, I got both cards working, but when I try to get the DVD output to the tv, either with mirroring on the viewer window turns white and you cant see the video, or by trying to mov…

Hi a, Im currious as to what other changes apple has made with the new G3's (the ones they released this week), i know they updated the processor speeds, and the cdrom, but have t…

I am thinking about getting an ATI 128 Orion in a 7200/90 to speed up 2D (Word, DeltaGraph etc) and hopefully speed up "light" 3D like TombRaider, will it work or is the CPU to slo…

I also have a 7200/75 and I've had the same question myself about how effective a Rage 128 Orion would be in these old 601 macs. My understanding of the matter is that the main lim…

A few weeks ago, there was an announcement that the next Nintendo game machine would use PowerPC chips. There is no news on whether or not they will use Altivec or not. Obvioulsy, …

The new Nintendo, code name Dolphine, will use a PPC 400 processor from IBM. From what I have been hearing, the Dolphine is going to be a relativly cheap machine. I suspect that fo…

Altivec was really not made for games,I am not an expert on the subject, but for high end jobs like Photoshop. A good graphics chip would probably be better then Altivec. Besides, …

I just read the article about G3 uprades for various "upgrade-challenged" PowerMacs and Mac clones. There was no mention of the PM 7200. Anyone know why the 7200 is left out of the…

According to an interview with one of the upgrade company CEO's, the cache slot on the 7200 "doesn't have enough wires." In the Developer's Notes on the 7200, it refers to the cac…

does anyone know how to "undo" a firmware update?? i recently found out that Apple Computer's recent firmware update (for Blue and White G3's) eliminates the ablilty to upgrade to …

There's no way to undo the Firmware update. But, what you can do is mess-up your logic board and take it to an Apple Service Provider and let them order a new logic board. When t…

newer G3's are coming with the update made so chances are a replace,ent logic board will have that done already. I wouldn't stress about it. Apple will allow you to upgrade once th…

Help guys, I have an all in one G3 educational unit and I just got a ATI Rage Orion 128bit accelerator card. I dropped the card into the PCI slot and found that the card will on…

There may be some hardware hack where you're able to string your internal monitor to your Rage 128 card, but that definatly requires some know-how and the right parts. As far as so…

An email from xlr8: "Thank you for asking about XLR8 upgrades! Keep an eye on our website, as that will be one of the first places to see an announcement for G3 upgrades for the …

I'm about to set up a couple of Imacs INSIDE an Italian church (i've already got one in Santa Maria Novella and one in Prato's Cathedral) but this time i'm asked to use touchscreen…

The nicest one I've personally seen is the TouchStation by MicroTouch (www.microtouch.com). The touch screen is bonded to the imac screen under a layer of glass. It's impervious …

I have been looking into external USB hard drives, as well as USB CDr's and have a few questions. The USB hard drive that I found was made by lacie and was 20 gigs. You can check…

Do you have an iMac or B&W G3? If it is an iMac then USB is your only shoice and I WOULD suggest LaCie, I have one of their SCSI CD-R's and it is excellent! --If you have a B…
