I did fresh install of OS 8.6, AppleShare, and Timbuktu. Disabled all of the unnecessary extensions. So far it's holding out. I still think I'll pop the hood and give it a once-ove…

I had no end of trouble with OS X 10.2.8 on my Beige G3, after a while it would just die. It then turned out it was going into power saver mode : , so I disabled that and it's b…

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…

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