Rev 1's have glitches with the ATA controller (Can be overcome with a PCI ATA/SATA/SCSI Card), otherwise nothing that different. I think the B&W G3 is a great Mac Tower, es…

My friend just gave me a G3 they had at his printing company that was going to be thrown out. It's not too dusty in side, although I haven't booted it yet. There's no hard drive an…

Speaking of the waveLan driver (of which I know nothing except that it exists), what was the last version you tried? The last version available on the site is 1.08a and Mark Hoekst…

In a nutshell: The manual and disks definitely look as though they were released at some point. Many of the clip art images are simply MacDraw versions of the images found in other…

Ahh, its ok....these things happen to the best of us. :I I've lost count of how many times I've wondered why something's not working, only to realise it wasn't plugged in......

I'm not sure about more time to work on it, but it will definitely be of good use to fix up a gutted bottom case of a 1400cs that is sitting around with a few extra parts for my pi…

Yeah, tried resetting the power manager. No help. It has now gotten to the point where it's not worth my time. I'd rather send it off to someone with more time to work on it; or…

My MicroConversions LC PDS video card actually requires a enhanced LC III PDS slot to support some features (?).

By chance a friend dropped by with a broken SE today, giving me an excuse to open one up. There is indeed a focus control. Have you tried adjusting it? If it has no effect, then fo…

Have you tried resetting the Power Manager? :?: The power-on-off behavior you describe doesn't sound like it's necessarily keyboard related. There's next to nothing that could g…

Also I'll be getting a 32mb module in the mail soon. Hopefully that will work.I'm also in the process of getting my hands on a ppc cpu that I can swap out on the 575 board.
