I think I will get the B&W. And a 450. (I remember I seen something about this, but can I pull the processor from a Yikes! and put on a B&W?)

I have tried all of that, the OEM one is set to cable selct, i tried that, i tried as a master and master single, master with legacy support, master with 15 heads instead of 16 (th…

Hi sp00nix, sounds to me like you've not set the correct master/slave jumper on the hard disk; this must be set otherwise the drive won't detect properly and screw with whatever e…

Hello again. This time i am trying to install a bigger HDD in my G4 tower. It came with a 10gb drive. I cannot get 10.4 to install on there with any other HDD other then the one i…

well that didn't work lol. It wasn't even recognized as being in a PCI slot

Maybe I'm missing something, but what does that have to do with firmware? Click to expand... Nothing, I'm just going through the OS options. The next steps are disabling all u…

(a) move to 8.6? ( B) is there an option of a firmware upgrade?

I have a Beige G3 that I have set up running OS 8.5 with AppleShare IP. For some reason, it keeps crashing. I can't seem to figure out the problem. If I boot it up, it will disappe…

I don't think that it does. I just read the manual last evening, and it looks like it's a bunch of BASIC scripts all tied together. It does have a task scheduler, though. Click …

The shielding on Macs is more to meet regulations than anything else, as far as I know. Should work fine without it. Click to expand... Same with the new iMac G3's. I've taken …

B&W G3 officially added to the question. STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them) Click to expand... Well if the B&W is in the run…

STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them) Click to expand... I'm not getting anything here either. Something's definitely awry.

I've taken mine out because its a pain in the butt to keep taking it in and out every time you work on it. It works just the same, same with a clamshell i had a couple years ago.

Getting the shielding back on just now almost killed me, and some people have taken the shielding out of their clamshells to make them more translucent, so I wondered if you needed…

Yes. It shields the innards from RF both internal and external. I would posit that a shield-less icebook would get crappy wifi, have audio problems from the audio cable inducting n…

Do IceBooks really need their shielding?

If it were me I would go with the BeigeG3. It''s more upgradeable, and certain models can run on an 83MHz system bus. Replacing a Rev A with a Rev B or C ROM can solve the slave d…

No funds for a Mini, sorry. STILL NO JOY about Headgap's timing out? (I don't bother emailing them)

If i get a chance i will try after work and post my findings. I have a whole lot of different cards, some simple scsi, some RAID with 128MB ram, daughter cards, batteries, and heat…

As far as I know, no promise cards can be made bootable. Adaptec cards have a slight-chance of being made bootable. One of the main issues with flashing from PC to mac is the size…
