Never had any problem booting mine from ATA. I've had all three revisions here, and the 8GB limitation applies to all of them.

I know it boots ok from os9. That drive is an IDE drive, and there is no SCSI drive in it currently.

are the beiges able to boot off of an ATA drive at all? I have a 266 Desktop and it will not boot off of any devices not on the 50-pin SCSI bus, and even then it will only recogni…

I set it up like you said, 80 gb drive as master on primary bus, dvdrw as master on secondary bus with the os9 drive as slave to the cd drive. I made two partitions on the 80gb, on…

Hmm, forgot to mention I'm using 9.2.2. Other than using external speakers through the headphone jack, I'm coming up short.

Seems to me all G3 macs have their sound over the top, it is annoying. The only thing I would suggest is Hear, but I don't know if that works on Tiger.

My Blueberry G3's sound is entirely too loud, even on the lowest volume setting. Any way to get it quieter? I have to turn the sound down on each program, which is annoying, and an…

The iBook G3 Dual-USB are great machines... if you can find one that doesn't have the dreaded GPU failure. I love my 900MHz iceBook, to be honest. It's really still a fairly capabl…

How do I end dashboard on 10.4?

Technically, Mac OS did not drop support for 400KB disks with Mac OS 7.6.x. With System 7.5.x, a lot of floppy disk handling shifted from the core OS to PC Exchange, or whatever it…

Trying to compile a system compatibility matrix for floppy media. Technically speaking the beige PowerMac G3 series are the only Macs supported by OS X with a built-in Superdrive a…

I run 10.4 on a 800Mhz G3 iBook and it runs fine. No more sluggish than Jaguar and Panther were.

I have no probs with spotlight on a 466, though dashboard definitely needs to be ditched. Tiger should be right snappy on that unit.

10.4 should be perfectly usable on a 900 MHz iBook. I would probably disable both Spotlight and Dashboard, but even on slow laptop hard disks I know some who persevere with them st…

I was surprised to see that the ibook series stayed with the G3 all the way to 900mhz, and I am just wondering how those run 10.4, and how the high end 900mhz G3 compare against a …

I would try it again with your cd on one ata master and 80 gig on other ata master, and your os9 boot as slave to the cd. It should boot from os9 then run xpf and then it will reb…

You'll need the adapter dongle that originally came with the 2100 if you want to do cabled transfers. Personally I'd avoid all that malarky and download NCX. WiFi transfers are m…
