You're not using the original POS Matsushita-manufactured optical drive, are you? Try a different drive and see if that helps. Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll …

Man, I gotta check my facts. 82.9 MHz? Yeah. Try 83.3. ;-) That sounds a bit like a corrupted CD. Rhapsody DR2, eh? I've got OS X Server 1.2, and it seems to work well on a…

What a haul!!!!!!

That's a lot of stuff. [] ]'>

OK for this guy you need to PM me and I'll pass your details on to him. Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:03:52 +1000From: Subject: Re:WANTED:Apple/Mac computers old/dead a P…

An impressive haul, both metaphorically and literally. Now, you will take care to leave some walkway between your bed and the door to your warehouse, won't you? We don't wish to …

The above guy has loads more gear to give away. I'll be posting his details and those of others who responded shortly. He's in the Mornington Peninsula area.

So I put out a call for "old Macs, any condition" on the Melbourne, Australia freecycle group, and I was completely inundated with offers. Apart from the amazing pair of Powerbook…

alright, the jag CD I have is not working. It boots after 10 minutes, but all I get is a blue background with a moveable mouse pointer, and nothing else. So, I turned it in to an …

There may be some main bus <-> PCI bus timing issues that make running at 66 MHz more sensible. I'm no expert, but I would think it would be a simple question to ans…

I already have the spec sheet, Quadraman. I had to find it on an alternate website, however, as the links on Freescale transfer to Tundra Semiconductor (the now-owner of the PCI/me…

You can set the multiplier of the PCI bus independently, so you can change the timing when you change the bus clock. In fact, you can change the bus clock, PCI clock, and CPU mult…

Sweet!

Is this what you were looking for? http://tinyurl.com/yrcgl4

My G3MT runs on an 83MHz bus, and yes, the processor is lightly overclocked as a result (416MHz instead of 400). I use a socket 7 heatsink with a little fan on it. My G3DT runs on …

If other people knew about it, there would be no point in me saying anything about it. The whole thing is simple, really: just look for the system controller - a small FCBGA microc…

If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

Nice one, the 160s are very good portable black & white machines. A case is a good bonus and at that price you can't go wrong!

not bad. I always loved the 1x0 series of machines (excluding the 190). Truly my favorite of machines. My first machine was the PowerBook 170. That this was sooo cool. In fact,…

Oh yeah, let me get onto that.... Edit: Should be sorted now [] ]'>

Nice! M

The wiki doesn't seem to be fully back online yet. I got to an initial page, logged in, but when trying to return to the page got a Parser.php error.

Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…
