Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…
I recall reading a tutorial once about converting a Disk II to use directly on an Apple III, instead of buying the more expensive Disk III mechanism. But in recent Googling, I can …

I like the idea of having one of those adapters, but the G3 cost $50 and the display wouldn't be much more. It just doesn't seem right to pay more for an adapter than you do for th…

What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. …

I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my iMac G3, though this time to take up the entire hard drive. After I finished the lengthy install and rebooted, I got the normal bootstrap+yaboot rout…

The 660AV is a great choice as is the 6100AV with a G3.
Personally I would love to own either one of t…
Buying an ADC to DVI or RGB adapter isn't the best way to go at this time. I too wanted a non-widescreen LCD to use with older Macs.I also had an Apple 17" LCD studio display but r…

No. The only G4s with ADC(GBE, Cube, DA, QS, MDD) used AGP. And yes, the Sawtooth had AGP but no ADC capability.
Your B&W as well as the G4 PCI graphics (original G4 based…

My sawtooth has a 450MHz G4 and a 16MB Rage128 card.
Back in the day I bought a brand new 16MB AGP Rage128 card for my Pentium II Tower and it totally kicked ass. The Rage128 GPU …
