Here's a disk image containing my rendering of the multicoloured Apple logo in Lo Res graphics mode. It looks okay on an emulator, but the cheap antialiasing really pays off on a r…

If yours is also the GPU's departure from this hateful existence, or at least a letting go from the MLB, find trag's post here about using modelling clay to protect adjacent compon…

If you have nothing to lose, might as well try the "home BGA reflow" procedure. Get yourself a heat gun and some bourbon (ok, sake will do). The drink's for you, the heat gun's for…

So my G3 800 iBook's logic board bought the farm the other day. This is the second one it's had, too. Of course Apple's repair program has long ended, so now I have a scratched, wh…

i used a G3 450 CPU from a B&W (it clocks up to 466mhz in the Beige G3 cause of the 66mhz bus in the Beige) it runs great. i also have 768mb ram in my AIO which alows it t…

No luck. It looks like he deleted some control panels. Will re-install 8.6.1

I once saved a program from an IBM PC 5150's ROM BASIC onto cassette, loaded it back in, then listened to the recording. This was just so I could say that I've loaded an IBM PC pro…

The mains RFI filter capacitor has exploded, caused by a period of disuse. The component is completely non-essential to the unit's operation, and you can safely continue to use it…

Depending on what System you're running, try checking the "PowerBook Display" or "Monitors and Sound" control panels to see if anything is available there. Also, the "Video Mirrori…

drivejumper.com/ClockupG3/homepage.html is a fairly good resource for this sort of thing, when the page loads... Anyways, the Royal VRMs are the bad ones. The Raytheons are good, …

How do you get the VGA port going? Is there a setup or function key to press?

For 8.6 and later MOM/MOL doesn't need a ROM image.

Yeah, get with the times and upgrade already. Everyone's doing it!

My assumption would be that you can't use a 68k ROM with a PPC emulator... good luck, as you'll need somebody to rip a ROM image from an older PPC mac, maybe a 8100? Or even better…

cache is built into the processor card, so you dont have to worry about that. you will, however, have to worry about the voltage regulator. There is a certain brand that fries an…

I just took apart one of the G3 AIOs that was arcing particularly violently. I blew everything out with canned air and jiggled the analog board a little bit and now, so far at leas…

I'd like to get a faster G3 before getting a G4. The only reason to run G4 would be OSX but I have another machine with that. I'd just like to trick it out enough to get the Wings …

how much are you looking to upgrade it? I upgraded mine pretty intensely. Specs are in the signature. macsales.com is where i get most of my parts.

The ROMs are on SIMMs so getting a B or C revision is not an issue. I upgraded one of mine to a later revision just so slave drives on the IDE bus worked. I think there are also is…

Hey Guys: In a move of nostalgia, I dusted off my old 233 Beige G3 MT (bought it at the old CompUSA Apple Store within a Store) and wanted to fire it up. Well, the HD started maki…

Doh! I wished I had thought of that....

Here's a disk image containing my rendering of the multicoloured Apple logo in Lo Res graphics mode. It looks okay on an emulator, but the cheap antialiasing really pays off on a r…

It is probably a combination of what Unknown_K said and the fact that I think the "remaining time" shown while its plugged in is time until fully charged.

Are Lombard batteries anything like Wallstreet ones? On a Wallstreet the lights on the battery are on when it is charging and when fully charged they go out. You could have issues…
