Hmmm, the have ROM and RAM but i don't know if the MAC would read it right. They are Adaptec and Promise raid cards, maybe a re-flashing? I will have to play with it.

They may. But I don't think the G4 would boot from them. scratch that, I doubt it would. Mainly as there has to be a ROM on it. Howerver, since I had an Adaptec with a PC ROM on…

Hello everyone, I have a ton of SCSI 160 and 320 cards and HDDs from dell servers. Would the cards work in my G4 tower? If so OS 9.2 work or would i need OS X? I don't know how p…

I would get one of the G3/233 iMacs -- you can install panther on them without any modification. The G3/400 would be nice if you're confident in your ability to repair it, and that…

Hi All, as one can plainly see, I'm new to this forum, but not new to the mac. Been a beta tester for many years, Virtual Wings Pro, Fly! II, A-10 Attack, Quicken 3, Falcon 4, etc…

I'll probably get a B&W but it's far from that G4/533. Also no processor upgrades as the VRAM. I found someone with one long ago but it was $500. Shipping is absolutely exp…

Remember that the iMac is/was the low-end machine, so you'll get better performance from the desktop/tower G3. Click to expand... You would think so, but I found some interesti…

I just want something like a first touch with OS X, but price options aren't attracting, that's why I chose a G3 xx( No joy about Headgap's being blocked in Brazil without reaso…

A low end beige G3 is not great with OSX unless you use an older version like 10.2.x.

Remember that the iMac is/was the low-end machine, so you'll get better performance from the desktop/tower G3.

I think it will be around October, so lots of time to decide. In which one XPostFacto for Panther/Tiger works better? Remember, I'm not picky, I just want for OS X and features n…

I would pick a beige over an Imac, expecially if the beige is a tower.

... or at least have a spare or borked MiniDock you don't mind hackrificing. Say, jt, if you can find one for sale somewhere and you want to give this project a kick along, I'll t…

No, thanks. This will not be now. Still, do someone know why Headgap's store is apparently blocked here? I was able to access it thru a web proxy. EDIT: Mike, if the 80% import t…

CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a few months. Click to expand... This is th…

Also, I know that G3 iMacs require maximum VRAM (6 MB) for acceptable OS X performance, however NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY ( 8-o ) sells VRAM. Click to expand... I have some VRAM…

G4s? The cheapest one (a Power Mac G4/533) is $200. Also, I know that G3 iMacs require maximum VRAM (6 MB) for acceptable OS X performance, however NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY ( 8-o …

You really need a G4 for OS X to feel enjoyable and speedy, even if you are only web browsing or whatever. And you'd be best with Leopard, because its the most secure and software …

I just want a real Mac for OS X (believe or not I even didn't tried PearPC) and features which emulation can't do (RAM disk...). I would get a Beige G3, but I don't have a USB card…

With a Beige G3 desktop or minitower, you have the option of upgrading through PCI slots, and upgrading the machine to a G4 in the future. With the iMac, you get a nice compact mac…

It's Brazil. Anything common before the Beige G3 is the Performa 6200/6300/6360. No 68k Macs. It's an auction site.

Where are you located? Those prices sound kind of high unless you're looking at some kind of store.

I will buy a G3 (very cheap here), however the question is the subject. Many come without keyboard or mouse, and no money is spare to buy a USB card, so I might get the iMac. Befo…

Not looking good. 2 of the .DMG's claim to be iBook install CD and I have no way of differentiating them as the both contain the same number of files and indeed the exact same fil…

I had thought about putting a CF card in the PCMCIA slot (on my 3400) and using that as a VM module so to speak. Click to expand... Yeah, not a great idea, because PCMCIA is qu…
