Sorry, should have stated the G3 upgrade.
Good to know though that it will work regardless while I hunt down online drivers. This shall be my next project.
The driver is required to activate the L2 cache. Otherwise, the CPU module will work fine. A G3 without cache is virtually the same thing as a 603e. I have that same processor u…
Driver for the hard drive or the G3 upgrade?
I see absolutely no signs of a 6 GB hard drive limit. I'm using a 40 GB hard drive (Apple ROMed) in mine.
As for the G3 upgrade, I've…
I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning improving the Usenet post-indexing system. Before, it wasn't always grouping posts into their correct thread, and instead wa…

Ok, I took time today to look at that.
I installed Airport Software 2.0.4 (I had 1.2 installed, that came with OS 9.2.2). Now it kinda works better: I can connect to my network us…

For shits and giggles, take the hard drive out and just boot from an os x disk, see what happens.
Thats how I've figured out bad hard drives and such. Of course, a full size G4 to…

Hi:
Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x
How did I find it? I looked and resea…
I'd take it back to when you replaced the hard disk - did you set master/slave on the new drive? The fact that it's chiming, booting to a grey screen suggests all is good - so I'…
Oops, missed those last couple of sentences.
The reason for asking was that I had a problem with a 2300c caused by overheating of a transformer on the logic board (one of those sq…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…
The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…

I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…
