Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…

Some of the old ones are rated 83MHz, yes. Many of the people I talk to don't seem to know about that, so I thought I might mention it.

What do you mean? If you identify the spec on the MPC106 ("Grackle") chip, you can usually figure out what a good possibility is for overclocking the bus. The MPC106 came in 89 M…

If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

I agree that NUM 3.2.x was excellent (and still is) for what it can do with 030-processor Macs, and 040 Macs running no higher than 7.6.1. Received wisdom at one time was that NUM…

I think because on Windows it installs all this weird stuff and does all this other crap you don't really need. I just simply booted off the ZIP disk and ran Disk Doctor and it was…

I haven't used it on Macs in years, but on PCs at least, it is a very, very, very, very, very bad, bad, bad, bad, bad thing. NUM 3.x used to be good back in the days of System 7...…

Norton is bad? It rescued my 7200 the other day. (I have Norton 6 on a ZIP Disk). It was booting to this Error 41 or 47 or something, and then when I booted off the ZIP Disk the h…

Is the Radius display any good? Click to expand... It's a good sharp display. It only seems to go to 640x480 but that may have just been the 6100's poor onboard video.

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end. Click to expand... Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…

Super Awesome!

Man I would LOVE to have an iBook G3 Clamshell. I really love the design. Too bad that I can't find any of them except on powerbookguy.com and it does not look too good for being i…

$50 for a 512MB SDRAM SoDIMM is pretty good; I just forked out $60 for 2 x 512MB for my PB Ti, "fastmemoryman" is cheaper but appears to have heaps of negative feedback. I only th…

Is the Radius display any good?

Fantastic ;D

Excellent, it's always great when you get good things for next to nothing!

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end.

nice one on the OS 8.6 cd! i hate having to upgrade my way frm 8.1 to 8.6 everytime i want to install 8.6.

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.
