Apple II!! — #3
after a month of waiting, I finally got the damn thing sometime while I was away the past 3 days. It works just fine, has a 5.25 disk controller card in slot 6, and a Super Serial …

Free Clamshell iBook, or Why I love Silicon Valley — #7
MagSafe is indeed wonderful. I wish more portable devices had something similar.
That said, the pre-MagSafe connectors still seem underdesigned for no particularly sane reason (ot…

Glad you got it working.

Until it catches fire...one thing that i'm going to be incredibly paranoid about when i get my MacBook (no, i'm not dissing MacBooks...i'm going to OWN one in a month or so!)

Yes, it's surprising how many 'books (and windows laptops) have been afflicted with this same problem. I can't believe that, with such a long history of failures, laptop manufactur…

Nicely done! The power connector fault is one I've seen countless times though it often means there's more free/cheap "broken" machines for those who know how to fix them!
I'm sti…

So a friend of a friend hears that I'm wacky for macs, and gives me a dead clamshell ibook that he had gotten from still someone else long ago, thinking he'd get around to fixing i…

You'll probably want to stick with ADB on that machine as the USB card requires drivers (it doesn't have drivers in the ROM like later machines) to work and thus won't work until t…

hello from the beige. I popped 10.2.8 on it tonight. Runs like a champ with 384mb, quite a nice rock stable machine, until my dad figures out how to KP the thing. He already locked…

alright, I got it all set up, hooked up, and I am typing on it now in iCab 3.03 under OS 9.2.2.
One issue I am having is I can not get the Deskjet 812c to work. It's hooked to the…

Beige's are great machines. I have one that has been working great for me for years. Good quality machine. Almost as good as my 8500, almost.

all I know is my head is spinning with all of these video card names. I know about them all, but when you list them all in one post, and connect them, that's a major brain fart

People say "Rage IIc", but they really mean Rage II+DVD (the two are virtually the same thing, and the underlying 2D/3D acceleration of the II+DVD is the same as the IIc). I've ne…

The BIV would be a Rage IIc...the Rage II was basically a redesigned Mach64. On top of that, those were the only three chips that Apple used on the Beige G3s: The Rage IIc, Rage II…

I installed the ATI utilities, and it recognises the PCi card as a Rage Pro. The built in stuff is a Mach64, and ASP identifies that as having 4mb of VRAM. No idea how much the car…

I also noticed the ATI video card has a SGRAM slot, which is odd, because I do not know of any older ATI Rage cards with expandable memory. I will ID it in ASP as soon as I am done…

nope, at least I don't think I do. Maybe in this one big box of computer parts. I did have 3-4 52x drives I got cheap, and a 32x sony drive...

If I had a spare CD-ROM, I would swap that in. Hell, if I had an apple DVD-ROM, I would pop my decoder card from my RAGE 128 in my B&W on to the ATI video card in it.

alright, I scrapped Rhapsody, since I could not get it to configure my network right, even manually inputting the IP, DNS, subnet, gateway, and all that.
So, I popped in my OS 9.2…

in gauge pro (in OS 9.2.2) shows my memory performance at 75mb/second - 78mb/second and that is with a G3 450mhz (OC to 466 cause of system bus) system bus is at stock 66mhz with 3…

If you overclock, I am pretty sure you will need PC100 memory to run at 83mhz.
And I checked my two G3's and they both have the 66mhz chips.

Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll often have trouble reading perfect discs, or just crap out half-way through an install for no reason.
