sharing the display of a g3 aio — #2
Very cool idea, but also very tough. It all depends upon how the monitor is connected to the personality card on the inside. What you would have to do is detach that cable, extend …

thanks for the reply.
that's about what i figured i'd have to do. i was kinda hoping that someone else had tried it before and could provide feedback. oh, well.
it's been a while s…

argh,
as i feared, the connector on the personality card (the a/v version) is some weird proprietary thing. there are two cables leading to the card: one looks like either SCSI or …

spent an hour and a half looking through the maintenance pdfs for the aio (got them from some nook or cranny on apple's site way back when), and learned a lot. unfortunately, very …

Well, that's pretty cool to know. You need to find an EE nerd who will be willing to do that stuff for you! I know a few here, but that won't do you much good. I wonder if you c…
Any one done the "never heard of hack"? — #2
theoretically, its possible. I'm not quite sure on the details, but I'm working on it... .. anyone know where to get a REGULAR PCI slot?! I cant find one at www.digikey.com.…
Any one done the "never heard of hack"? — #3
Actually I don't think this will ever work. If the mez slot is a PCI slot then the iMac Gamewizard would just be a regular PCI card with a different connector. Then why don't 3dfx'…
Any one done the "never heard of hack"? — #4
I suppose that's true, but 3dfx's drivers probably don't work because the chipset may be that much off since Game Wizard was not made by them personally. I also have another quest…

HAHahAHAHahHAhAH! Silly boy!
3DfX's voodoo2 drivers ***** DO ***** work with the gamewizard!

Sheesh. Do more homework before you p…

Digikey Part Numbers
PCI connector - 145168-4-ND
Mezz connector - 71439-0164 or 71436-0164, whichever is a plug, not a socket

That's what I thought too, until I was told otherwise.
There are four files in the 3dfx Voodoo2 b5 set. Of those, 3dfx GlideLib2x is supposed to be the actual driver, which does …

Are we positive that the mezz with that part number is the mezz that fits the imac?

Any one done the "never heard of hack"? — #9
Yep, another positive on V2 drivers working. So let me get this straight. i thought the VooDoo2 was a pass through card because it only provided 3D processing onboard and needed 2D…
Any one done the "never heard of hack"? — #10
NZ, What hack are you refering to? I was thinking of the feasibility of a PCI connector to a non�Microconversions card, ie., a V3 or 5.
If the Microconversions driver (GameWizard…

Yeah, they are the last drivers that shipped before Microconversions went under.

G4 overclocking — #2
Ain't it fast enough already Cipher??
Well you've already limited yourself to 500mhz so it's pretty much trial and error for your chip between those speeds. I have heard of a G4 cl…
G4 overclocking — #3
heh, a computer can never be too fast . I would take it to 466, but the instructions I found only show how to make 350, 400, 450 or 500...
If anyone knows of any decent instruction…

I've clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450. Below is a link with the procedure I used.

G4 overclocking — #5
Thanks - was it hard to do, soldering and all? I have experience with soldering surface mount chips, which are damn small - will that suffice for this job?

G4 overclocking — #6
To get to 466 you would have to change the data bus to either 66 or 133, and that is likely more work than just changing the processor multiplier. Has anyone changed the data bus s…

Thanks for that 'P'. I don't have a G4 so I wouldn't know............money for the poor??!
