A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

I downloaded PCSetup 1.6.4, then updated it to 2.1.7. I think the oldest MacOS that will run on the beastie is 8.

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

I have been tinkering with mine lately, and it will end up like this: G3 Tower with G3/400mhz processor from my Blue/White G3 384MB RAM 9.1GB SCSI hard disk 3GB IDEhard disk Z…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

what is it with beige motherboards dying? / the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 booting fine. Click to expand... you THINK you cleared it with Command-Option-P-R a…

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds. However, a slow download is bet…

I wasn't really expecting that sound track, tbh. Neat photo montage, anyway. I don't think I'd bother with the WiFi hack; I actually have type III PC cards to use, and I'd rather …

It's not looking good, she's dead as a door nail now. I've swapped the batteries, put in PCI video card, disconnected every IDE cable, started swapping ram chips. I don't what's ne…

It WILL work. Make sure you install the latest Airport 2.0.4 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120

My gigabit does this. Make sure your video card is fully seated, it sometimes comes loosened on one end or the other when you open the case a few times.

My Lucent WaveLAN card had the same problem. Turned off encryption, and used the MAC restriction feature instead.

OS 9 can't do "WEP passwords" very well. Is your base station a genuine AirPort base station, or is it 3rd party? If it's 3rd party, the password can't be used in OS 9. You'll h…

Thanks for the reply! The base station is a genuine last gen Airport Extreme. Does that change something? Actually I could as well go with the MAC address filter.

If i had a decent amount of G4's of the same speed, I would actually buy Pooch and run my very own parallel computing center.

You know, over the last couple of months I've been watching the price of G4 Macs come way down Picking up a dual G4 at 800MHz or faster is now actually affordable. The real que…

To rocketath--I think I detect distinct sarcasm and/or rudeness from your reply. nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE Click to expand... THANKS for the link,…

There are four screws you need to remove. You can see two already. The other two are hidden underneath a panel that pops off. The panel has tons of holes in it, and underneath you …

Right, Sorry-not a G4; Green Slot load imac G3. Thanks for the replies, but aside from which one is easier to get to than the other, nobody is telling me how to OPEN THE CASE. I'm…

actually, i find it quite the opposite, save for the G4. The tray-load are easy, just take off the bottom, and then pull out the tray. The CD is just fixed to it, and easy to get.…

The iMac G3 tray load and iMac G4's I must say are the two harder ones to get drives out of. The slot load on the other hand is much simpler.
