I am having some trouble installing a system on a CF card installed in a 2300c via an IDE-CF adapter (Chinese & utterly generic). The attempt thus far, which has now been …

Agreed on keeping the original heatsink. However I did run into overheating issues on my Beige, so an additional fan could be useful. I got one of those small, about an inch tall o…

Drivers: It depends on the manufacturer. Apple OEM and most Sonnet ZIFs don't need drivers at all, they're totally plug-and-play. The only drivers one might need is the AltiVec cod…

the pentium Heatsink will be a bit hard, since the size of the heatsink is a bit awkward for the Zif Socket. I believe the original Heatsink will be fine. It was when I had my blu…

none. Unless it's a blue and white, and then you will need to download a firmware update: XLR8's G4 updater for the Blue and white

What type of drivers do they need? Can I use a Pentium heatsink with the ZIF?

Mine was my main machine until recently. Paid $600 for it in about '99/2000, sold the internal ZIP for $100, and got a good six-seven years of use out of it. I'm still working on…

I have a beige g3 desktop too, but the tower is my favorite and has most of the upgrades. Finding a G3 with 1MB cache will speed those systems up. Built in video isn't too bad, th…

Hi, I posted earlier about the PowerBook G4 that gets stuck on the loading screen. I'm not sure what version the laptop is, but everymac.com said that some versions of the laptop…

I have more than one. The MT sitting in my closet is a 333MHz model with the ATTO U160 SCSI card. I don't recall RAM, but it's at least 256MB. It has a Wings card, 10k RPM 9GB prim…

I don't think the Lisa ever had enough focus to connect it back to the II line. The Mac, though, got an IIe-on-a-card functionality added later. Click to expand... Specificall…

Upgrading machines is like an itch you have to scratch to me for some reason. B&W's, PCI Powermacs, and Beige G3s are just so cheap to get and upgrade these days and they …

Cool, you guys have some pretty nice machines. I've got several more desktops and another server tower, but nothing really built up. I probably won't build any more close to what…
