I have 10.2.8 on my 700mhz Snow model and the speed is good but the lack of support for newer software keeps me from using it much. I only have 256mb in it, so until I can scrape u…

That's not exactly what Scott wrote:
The only surefire ways to know if it's enhanced (originally or not) are to look at the serial number (anything made in April 1986 or lat…
Here's where I am: I have the IIe running; I can get to the IIe profile page. I disassembled and cleaned the Apple 5.25" drive including the read head an re-assembled it. The LCIII…
Really? I was thinking Tiger would run fairly alright...compared to the tray loader, the exact same Panther install runs a lot faster on the slot load.
You know, its funny...back …
And with 512MB of RAM, I should even be able to run Tiger fairly decently on here.

Tiger is slow(Just as slow as Panther) even on my 600MHz iMac w/ 512MB and…
So I pulled the iMac to bits today and did some rummaging around inside, and put in the 80GB drive from my tray loader, as well as a fresh PRAM battery.
I haven't actually gone in…
512ke ...model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

Of course there is. We've all said as much in rece…
Hey, I saw something about the 512ke today that said the model number on those is M0001E, so there is a way to distinguish them from M0001W 512k machines.

Yes the iMac G3 really was a revolutionary device for Apple back in 98, but so many of them were made and sold I just don't see it ever becoming nearly as rare or desired as a Maci…
That noise is a dying capacitor tied to the speaker, same noise I heard on a used unit that died (same board I recapped and works fine I have as a spare). Asuming nothing else is w…

I still think they are very common. Although some people try to sell them for big bucks, I personally don't think they are worth it right now. $30 seems about average for a used G3…

Before you leave him negative feedback, I'd try and get onto him first, yes the board was sold "as-is", but you were told that it is a sealed, brand new part, and it is not.
Austin's Goodwill Compter Works is excellent, and there are several other computer recycle / resale operations, as you'd expect in a university town.

Stop using that word "RARE"! :beige:
My recommendation is not to use that RAM upgrade board. It looks like the PSU is the intact original first generation as well. It still has…
I must be the unluckiest guy when it comes to LCs.
Man did I get burned on this motherboard. It was not new. It was not sealed. It does not work. >
Looks like it…

I like the trackball better, too. Apple was inconsistent in where they silk screened the model number. 210s-270s usually had it on the bottom of the LCD panel, 280s & 2300s…
