Well I just threw in a 27GB WD on there and it worked without a hitch, even without jumpers! Thanks for the reassurance guys. I tried this before and it didn't work but I found ou…

try booting with only one three point five inch drive connected.

Yes. The Optical drive will be the master on that bus.

I have a feeling that if it was finished, the specs might have been on par with or even possibly exceeded the specs of the 128K. That could explain why it was canned.

Yea, a HD (even SCSI) makes GS/OS much nicer to run. I have a transwarp GS in one of my IIgs and that speeds things up quite a bit (that machine has the REV C SCSI card and an 8MB …

I wasn't I was going to use it as part of server storage. I assume that cable is slave right?

Was the Mark Twain canned because it might compete with the Mac? I imagine that with an 2 megs of RAM, an 8Mhz processor and a built-in HDD it might actually run GS/OS tolerably...…

Well, that site has been around for more than a decade. Back then the pictures were quite good.

Thanks. Its a shame there aren't better quality pictures available.

Thanks guys I reseated the ram, the av card, and reinstalled mac is 9 (with my g4s radeon) and updated it to 9.2.2. Then I took out the gpu and the onboard video works great!!! :-…

http://www.apple2.org should have info on the machine, as well as a few snapshots of the Twain on vacation.

Does anyone have any photos or other information about this machine? I know they never went beyond the prototype stage but it would be fun to see more pictures or information about…

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable? Click to expand... I used to on my graphite. Just make sure the jumpers are set correctly. The b…

Can you connect a hard drive to the second ata plug on the optical drive cable?

They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…

There were three revisions of the Beige G3 ROM: -A (LROG434-01/02), -B (LROG434-02) and -C (LROG434-03), and all with part no 820-0954. There are five subspecies of the Rev. A, but…

No. Just unsuitable for the model. All three Beige G3 machines were specified for 384MB total (max.) of RAM with then-current technology, and the desktop version had also a heigh…

I'm not sure how I'm going to get xpostfacto on the new drive. Is there a way to run two ide drives at once? I think I read somewhere you can't.

What revision ROM? I think the early Beige G3's didn't support secondary drives at all, also B&W rev 1 had corruption issues on secondary drives. Click to expand... yep…

Internal ATA 0: CD-ROM + CD-RW problem is that both CD Drives do not work together. If CD-RW is set to MASTER, CD-ROM is SLAVE, only CD-RW is working. If both are CABLE SELECT onl…

The Beige series should have 2MB of VRAM built in and a slot for 4MB more to get to 6MB total. I don't think video works at all if the built in 2mb is bad, all the extra RAM does i…

beige G3 I had would not lite up the screen(VGA) with out the 4mb stick under OS9 Click to expand... And only under OS 9? Weird. If it was under both I would say it was a fau…

I've fiddled with OS X and XPostFacto on a number of beige G3s, and my conclusion is that you should use either 10.4 Tiger or 10.2 Jaguar. There's no reason ever to use 10.3 Panthe…

Ok, I'm still trying to figure out what os to put on, but I'll probably still go with tiger if it installs. I came up short on cash this week so I haven't ordered everything, and t…
