A friend of mine is a wintel user - he can't help it, he's an IS person for a living and doesn't know any better - and has offered to put some high-res digital photos on cd for me,…

I have a Rev. A beige G3 266 MT. Recently i had to install a second IDE drive, forcing me to remove the IDE CD drive from the machine as it can handle only 2 IDE devices. I've bee…

We just got a Plextor SCSI CD-RW in our beige G3. It weent in pretty easy, and came with very good instructions, but I haven't used it enough to give you I good idea of how well i…

I am thinking about getting an ATI 128 Orion in a 7200/90 to speed up 2D (Word, DeltaGraph etc) and hopefully speed up "light" 3D like TombRaider, will it work or is the CPU to slo…

I also have a 7200/75 and I've had the same question myself about how effective a Rage 128 Orion would be in these old 601 macs. My understanding of the matter is that the main lim…

Well, my company allowed me to shed my Wintel machine for an iMac. Using DAVE, I've been able to network with the other Windows machines; however, I need a connection to our SGI se…

A few weeks ago, there was an announcement that the next Nintendo game machine would use PowerPC chips. There is no news on whether or not they will use Altivec or not. Obvioulsy, …

The new Nintendo, code name Dolphine, will use a PPC 400 processor from IBM. From what I have been hearing, the Dolphine is going to be a relativly cheap machine. I suspect that fo…

Altivec was really not made for games,I am not an expert on the subject, but for high end jobs like Photoshop. A good graphics chip would probably be better then Altivec. Besides, …

I just read the article about G3 uprades for various "upgrade-challenged" PowerMacs and Mac clones. There was no mention of the PM 7200. Anyone know why the 7200 is left out of the…

According to an interview with one of the upgrade company CEO's, the cache slot on the 7200 "doesn't have enough wires." In the Developer's Notes on the 7200, it refers to the cac…

Our IT manager asked if I'd like to get some of my Macs on the trialrun of our new FiberOptic network, and asked if the Mac had or needed a special Fiber Optic Network Interface Ca…

John, The network is fiber to the desktop ? We recently installed a 100BaseTX network here running a fiber backbone with CAt-5 running to the desktop. The macs here are also i…

I believe Newer Tech have only FiberOptic NIC for Mac. I saw the ad in Macworld magazine but I couldn't find any info on their web site.

You need to find out exactly what "fiber optic" networking topology you are going to be using. I recently installed a Farallon 1000Base-SX Fiber Optic card in an older beige g3 se…

In addition to Farallon, TeamASA has a Gigabit Ethernet NIC for Macs called "Stallion". They actually released the card and had drivers for the Mac before anyone else, including F…

ok I really don't know what pci is or if my 6500 has pci slots i want a video card but they all need a pci slot. does anyone know a good voodoo card that is compatible with my comp…

First, PCI is Perephial Component Interconect. And yes, your Powermac 6500 is PCI bassed, and it has 2 short (7' inch) PCI slots. Now I would expect that most Voodoo cards are this…

does anyone know how to "undo" a firmware update?? i recently found out that Apple Computer's recent firmware update (for Blue and White G3's) eliminates the ablilty to upgrade to …

There's no way to undo the Firmware update. But, what you can do is mess-up your logic board and take it to an Apple Service Provider and let them order a new logic board. When t…

newer G3's are coming with the update made so chances are a replace,ent logic board will have that done already. I wouldn't stress about it. Apple will allow you to upgrade once th…

The iprotv is a tv tuner and scsi port for the mezzenene slot the rev a and b imacs. Does anyone know where I can buy it? http://formac.com/usa/html/products/tv-tuner/iprotv.html

We'd like to use one of our older Macs as a print server. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How old of a Mac? Is it Ethernet capable, or Localtalk only? What volume of traffic? What kind of Printer? There are a lot of variables to consider. Please post more information!
