Turn it on after unplugging the CD's data cable. If it ejects, then the problem is with the configuration, cable, or motherboard. Make sure the CDROM is set properly. On most beig…

Actually, there is nothing on the hard drive. It is totally blank, a clean slate. I did it that way so I could install a fresh copy of 9 with all the drivers on the machine. Shoul…

What happens if you disconnect the power to the CD drive, and just boot with the hard drive?

nope, that did not do anything. I hunted and pecked for the original module, popped that in, removed the other modules, and booted. Still nothing. It also can not be power, becaus…

Some RAM will clock down to lower speeds, but I have seen some that don't. Has something to do with the CAS latency or something techie like that.. :lol:

aha, I did not check the RAM. I think I put PC100 in it. I thought it automatically would work at PC66. I will pull out everything but the stock stick and try again. If it were bad…

What kind of RAM did you use? The system bus in the G3AIO is 66 mhz. Did you use PC133? It might not be compatible, or maybe one of the DIMMs isn't seated properly, or maybe jus…

If a programmer ceases support of a product they should either make an unprotected full version available for distribution...their software will be made available in unprotected fo…

Ooooooooo..... That implies you could do the same job on a 2300 - if you can find the clock jumpers

Sorry, my eyes glaze over at five-line sentences.

Wow.... It's a early ModBook!

Sounds like a bad HD to me as well. 75% of the time a bad OS access generates that type of behavior. I would try both the CD and Firewire drive methods mentioned above. I had a TiB…

Unfortunately not all programmers have copyright over their own code in the first place. If they're developing to hire, their employer may own the rights, and if the employer fold…

Did you try booting the thing from CD or FireWire or anything? Could just be a corrupted installation or a bad hard drive. I would've checked those first. As for capacitors, yes, …

ive got one sitting around in my garage collecting dust

Thats a good machine you got there, hold onto it.

In spite of what I said above, I do think that if a programmer ceases support of a product they should either make an unprotected full version available for distribution or else co…

Yeah! Quit yer whinin' and get codin' Click to expand... The last time I did that, a computer howled in pain. And that was just six lines of code.

I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. Click to expand... How much software have you written and distributed for free? Click to …

The 12 display is a DS 800x600 (or whatever the mac resolution is). Are the hinges loose? Major issues with wallstreets is the 2 cables that are along the hing to the LCD get cut …

There are two connectors to check on those. One is on the mid-left of the machine, under the keyboard, to the right of the PCMCIA card cage and cooling fan. It's covered mostly by…

Good to hear you got it going. I second what Ben said - before you buy anything, try reseating the keyboard cable, or failing that, cleaning the contacts.

What he said. Sadly, CRTs are pretty much "out of fashion now", including most of the iMac G3 models, meaning that they sell for quite little and even go for free. Your iMac is wor…
