Hi everyone, I'm posting from my iMac G3! I'm currently running Mac OS 9.2 on it, but since I'm running it, I can only download software compatible for it. I want to be able to p…

Yes g4's exist for Nubus, a slow one not worth bothering with (240Mhz?). Any apps that would make use of a G4 would choke on a Nubus machine. If you already have the CPU then stic…

You can slap a G4 into an old Nubus PPC machine and it will still be slow Click to expand... You can get a G4 for a nubus mac?????

to coiusI also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work be…

if it still doesnt work, you should try the atx power supply hack. although it might just be safer to get your hands on something like a quicksilver or some g4 with a bigger power…

ok, i switched the DVD drive back to the internal ATA bus and it is working in panther now!

how did you get it to work in panther? I am having a mess of trouble with it and i have the same exact drive and a newer video card.... Also, I tried the os 9 patch with no avail…

Very nice!!

what i did was get a Radeon 7000 Mac edition and a Pioneer DVR-110D and all was good, in OS 9.2.2 with the hacked DVD player on http://www.os9forever.com/ even tho the DVD playbac…

The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…

Get some DVD player hardware (for example: the Plextor DVD burner 708A works great, region free firmware is available also, and the G3 will boot and install from this drive). Then …

I have a beige G3 (check signature) that I want to be able to play DVD's on. VLC kinds sucks for that because you can't do anything else while using it and even still it has a slo…

A little patience and this was the solution :b&w: Newton now back in action. Thank you all very much. Michael Remove the battery and power for a little while, the…

Choose an iMac with USB, and then get any of many USB/serial adapters. Keyspan springs readily to mind, and they have been at it since at least 1998. The adapters fetch up to USD…

I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I'm thinking of getting an older iMac, so I can retire my aging 9500.. I like using my laserwriter 16/600...and stylewriter 2400... but you can't use 'em offhand with the imac...…

I copied the ROM image from my 68k Performa. Does anyone know how to get the QuickSliver machine running off that, or if that's even what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who has r…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.

/me thinks about 7.6.1 on a dual 533 G4 ...

I installed Mac OS 8.6 on my Sawtooth first with MOM, as long as it worked, it worked good, alas after a while opening any window in the guest OS would stall the VM.

You can call them emulators, or you can call them virtual machines, or you can call them compatibility environments. The point is that they run PPC code on PPCs, so the don't have…

No I don't. I just have the QuickSilver, a G5 and a Performa 630 CD which has 8.1 on it. I have a friend who I believe has an 8.6.1 borg disc. He has an iMac G3, plus another iMac …
