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 …

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.

A 233Mhz G3 seems to be very slow for OSX to me. I would run OS 9.2.2 on it and dig out some old OS 9 Apps for it, the thing would fly. A little more RAM would probably be nice, al…

Any thoughts as to what to do with it now we know the specs? I am leaning more towards parent's computer. Click to expand... Get a little bit more Ram and put Tiger on it - …

if you have the modem in the slot on the personality card, why would you ever need a modem serial port? / My performa 6200 had one Click to expand... Because you might have mor…

Alright, had the chance to boot it. Looks to be a video editor machine. Has a 100mb image of commercials, dunno if they were made by them or not, but the HD is labled "E. D. Jacobs…

Yes, the 8600 has internal video. None of the 6 slot PCI Macs (9500, 9600) have built in video or any A/V functions so those ports are blocked off.

Nope, 9600s don't have internal video. I think the 8600 does, and can confirm that the G3MT definately does.

Yes, there is most likely a port behind it. I suppose apple didn't want people to connect their old external modems and have it conflict with the internal modem, that's what the pr…

so there is a second serial port behind that? I will open her up tomorrow and look. oh, forgot to mention it's the minitower, not the desktop yeah, the modem looked to be on a ca…

No no no, what I meant was, if you have the modem in the slot on the personality card, why would you ever need a modem serial port? That's why apple put blanks over the modem port…

I've never heard of a beige with a single serial port. There are two built in to the motherboard. The modem lives on the PERCH card, so that's not it. What the hell, punch out t…

a single serial port (wtf? the other one has a blank), a built in modem Click to expand... Just answered your own question I'm willing to bet the serial port with the blank…

Nice pick up!

Got one of these on a call today. They had a B&W G3, and a biege. They wanted one of them for their family (still running off a PM 6100 which I may be able to have later as…

Yep, I noticed that last night. There was no response from it whatsoever so it is likely the server company was doing maintenance or someone tripped over a cable. Dunno how long it…

The server went down. Recently: 3 Server Crashes. Ive been counting.

For the record, i would just like to confirm that Anhaedra is definately not MacTCP, they have different IPs. Different ISPs, even. So you're definately in the clear, MacTCP. Hope …

Thank goodness he's gone! :b&w:

Thank you Tom

Issues solved by tom. -MacTCP you can come back

I've had enough of this. Good bye.
