alright, I got it all set up, hooked up, and I am typing on it now in iCab 3.03 under OS 9.2.2. One issue I am having is I can not get the Deskjet 812c to work. It's hooked to the…

I have my Lombard (which I got off eBay in the spring of 2006) tricked out with the DayStar G4 upgrade; it's not a huge speedup (just barely fast enough to play DVDs, even with Alt…

Beige's are great machines. I have one that has been working great for me for years. Good quality machine. Almost as good as my 8500, almost.

I have a powerbook 190cs which is actually my main 68k machine. I have a good ethernet pcmcia card so I can connect it to my network and copy files there. I also use it as a localt…

pitch them!!! horrible machines. I went through 3 of them before realizing how much they sucked. I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole! Click to expand... Oi, I wouldn't m…

all I know is my head is spinning with all of these video card names. I know about them all, but when you list them all in one post, and connect them, that's a major brain fart …

Beachycove's screen transplant suggestion is a wonderful idea. There are (or used to be) stacks of 5300s with bad logic boards but good screens, so finding a source of organ donors…

You can pop the active matrix screen from a PB5300c on one and make a plain-Jane 190 into a rather nice colour 68k powerbook. I am pretty sure that the 190 cannot take advantage of…

Digital Picture Frame! http://www.alksoft.com/5300_stuff/5300_picture_frame.php Peace, Drew

People say "Rage IIc", but they really mean Rage II+DVD (the two are virtually the same thing, and the underlying 2D/3D acceleration of the II+DVD is the same as the IIc). I've ne…

Great! It is always good to get a pair of machines since the one that doesn't work can be used as a spares machine. It sounds like you now have plenty to play around with!

Got a call from work asking if I wanted some PowerBook 190s. They came with AC adapters (one's dead.) One 190 works fine, the other has a dead display? Nothing shows up, but it chi…

The BIV would be a Rage IIc...the Rage II was basically a redesigned Mach64. On top of that, those were the only three chips that Apple used on the Beige G3s: The Rage IIc, Rage II…

I installed the ATI utilities, and it recognises the PCi card as a Rage Pro. The built in stuff is a Mach64, and ASP identifies that as having 4mb of VRAM. No idea how much the car…

I also noticed the ATI video card has a SGRAM slot, which is odd, because I do not know of any older ATI Rage cards with expandable memory. I will ID it in ASP as soon as I am done…

nope, at least I don't think I do. Maybe in this one big box of computer parts. I did have 3-4 52x drives I got cheap, and a 32x sony drive... -digital

Thanks for the update and confirmation that it is a floppy port drive. It is a later drive than the one I know about, but very closely related. Try: plug the serial connector into…

If I had a spare CD-ROM, I would swap that in. Hell, if I had an apple DVD-ROM, I would pop my decoder card from my RAGE 128 in my B&W on to the ATI video card in it. Cl…

alright, I scrapped Rhapsody, since I could not get it to configure my network right, even manually inputting the IP, DNS, subnet, gateway, and all that. So, I popped in my OS 9.2…

Yay Floppys!

Holy shite dude! Nice score! Click to expand... wash your mouth, kid }

Hi, The drive does connect to the floppy drive. It also has connects to the serial or printer port. However although I can mount it i am unable to boot from it (even when I connec…

Holy shite dude! Nice score!

Tested the 5500 tonight. All works, including the TV Tuner (apparently, although all I get is snow without an antenna attached). 9.1, 64MB, 2GB. And it has that helicopter taking …
