well i only paid 30 bucks for that mobo do you think its worth doing???? the imac g3 dv graphite that i have is is excellent condition i bought it from the original owner with wa…

It means a lotta nasty hacking, involving glue and duct tape. Yes you could use your current heatsink but its not 100% guaranteeed to work.

sorry hahah when you say mod the heat sink ........ what would happen if i just used the heat sink from my 400 and used it on the 600? is that possible? or is it in a different loc…

AHHH. Are you like screaming? Check your caps lock man! I have thought of the same thing with my 350mhz. They are not compatible, but you can mod the heatsink to be on top of …

HI I HAVE A IMAC G3 DV AND THE 400 MHZ PROCESSOR JUST ISNT DOING IT FOR ME SO STUPID ME I WENT ON EBAY WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH AND BOUGHT A 600 MHZ IMAC G3 MOTHERBOARD AND I AM HAVING…

I agree a free mac in any condition is AWESOME!!!!! (all of mine were free )

Hehehehehe welcome to the club of free iMac G5's! When I got mine it had no leaky caps just some ram problems and it was like a gift! It replaced my iMac G3 350!

Free Macs are always worth every penny no matter what condition!

Scored a working iMac G5 from my employer, but need to recap the power supply and motherboard before I dare to use it much. Got several others which aren't powering up at all, but …

Well on ebay I sold my G5 for 750.00+35.00 shipping.

You type PR#1 at the BAISC (]) prompt to output anything typed. As per paper they can use tractor feed or normal loose leaf depending on what mode you have it in.

Wait what paper does it use as well?

I don't have applesoft or anything else! Just the command line after doing Control-Reset and playing with it.

Also almost every dotmatrix printer ever can self test. With my model, you can either hold down TOF/QUIET while you turn it on or hold down line feed while you turn it on. The Imag…

You can test the printer by typing PR#1 at the Applesoft prompt (assuming the printer card is in slot 1)... after that all output should be redirected to the printer. Type somethin…

I Have an OkiData printer as well! It came in a bundle with my ][e! I am not sure if it works as I have no way of testing it, because my ][e has no software. Mine is Okidata Microl…

Found this at a salvation army today, had no sticker on it so the guy said I could have it for $3.50. Came with two manuals and a somewhat dry but still decent ribbon. Self tests j…

Can't see why not. It's just a video output card, so it should mount with the appropriate drivers. Cardbus is Cardbus.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not a Road Rocket pcmcia video card will work in a cardbus-enabled 2400c or 3400c? The publicity from the period states only that the card is …

Some info on the Wings card connectors, along with an interesting hack, here. The PCI looking thing is probably the modem slot. It's similar to a Comm slot AFAIK. And yes, the S…

I cracked the thing open and took a look at what was inside. 20 gig hard drive (ide) All three PCI slots are filled, an Ethernet card, a USB card and a FireWire Card. the Sonnet…

Easy way to check for a Sonnet upgrade - if the heatsink is purple, you're golden

Great score on a good machine. I myself am partial to the BeigeG3 Mini-Towers myself. Mine is pretty maxxed out at the moment, although it is sitting in the closet because it got r…

They're not beige, they're Platinum. Apple hasn't made any beige Macs since the 1980's. Click to expand... This is true, but as stated before both Apple and the general mac usi…

Yeah apple called them beige... After yellowing they do become a sickly beige color. Nice haul! :approve: BTW: I read the title as "Beige G3 Contest"
