You can also buy a cheap PCI ATA card and run both drives off of that, or leave the stock drive there and buy *two* new ones to run off the ATA card.

Don't put the hard drive in the zip bay...I've heard it's not designed to take that heat and can screw things up pretty bad.

On the Rev 1 B&W the computer will recognise both Master and Slave IDE hard drives, but support for both devices on the same bus wasn't all the way there. You can use each ch…

Machine: rev1 B&W G3 I've also got a 27BG IDE drive in the zip compartment and it's been fine for 5 months now, with the machine sometimes running for 48hrs at a time, never ha…

Once you pull the original, yellow, jumper block off the pins, you can use the individual SCSI ID jumpers for internal hard drives to change the settings. They work fine in my B&am…

Just use a bunch of ordinary jumpers.

I just re-arranged the jumpers within the jumper block itself on my Beige 266 (now a 300), I don't know if its the same on the B/W.

Most likely, you can just plug it into the cpu slot on the 7600. When I upgraded a few 7300's here, I plugged the 604e card into an old 7500 we use here as a secondary file server…

No, the processor card structure is different. It has cache on processor card. Processor doesn't work if i put it directly into 7500 or 7600.

Everything I have read indicates that the 604e 300 mHz processor pulled out of a 9600/300, can ONLY be used in other Macs that have the Kansas motherboard. Those are the 8600/250,…

I know that this processor card originally works only with PM 8600/9600. There is article in Apple TIL saying that. So if someone knows how physically modificate this card to make …

8600/9600 has different motherboards than 8500/9500, different part numbers and structure. I'm asking anyone who knows these thing can we make physical changes on processor card or…

That's very peculiar. I bought a 350mhz blue G3 with the IBM copper G3 and was only able to overclock it to 400mhz. 450mhz wouldn't boot at all, but I never thought to try 500mhz..…

I have a beige g3/266 and I can only clock it up to 315mhz, unstable, 300mhz is where I am now. A friend has the same proc but could boot at 366mhz, I feel mad, that I got a more i…

266 OC'd to 315...stable ------------------ -See Yea!

My b&w G3 350 is now at 400. I'll be speeding it up soon though. I wonder if you get a higher quality chip and motherboard if you buy from Apple or if you buy lots of options?…

PM8500 with XLR8 ZIF and OEM 400 ZIF OC'd to 454 and stable for 6 months. A co-worker bumped his Athlon from 500 to 700, but I've never heard of a Mac making that big of a jump... …

B&W g3 300 o'cd to 700 something. Stable for 4 months. Beat a g4 on photoshop and Soundjam. it has a cooling fan. I just ordered that liquid hydrogen cooling thing. 1400 bucks.…
