ah well maybe I had it reversed. Been awhile since I messed with the old Gossamer.

Never had any problem booting mine from ATA. I've had all three revisions here, and the 8GB limitation applies to all of them.

I currently use a Lucent Wavelan Silver in my Lombard 400 in OS9 and OSX (and OS7.6.1 on my PB 190). It works in OS9 fine with drivers found on the net. With OSX you either have …

I know it boots ok from os9. That drive is an IDE drive, and there is no SCSI drive in it currently.

are the beiges able to boot off of an ATA drive at all? I have a 266 Desktop and it will not boot off of any devices not on the 50-pin SCSI bus, and even then it will only recogni…

the sonnet aria extreme does not work in os 9. The system recognizes that it is there, but does not see it as a wireless card. The sonnet card has a broadcom chipset too.

The service life of hard drives, like many things, is dependent on how they're used. Particular to a notebook drive, duty cycle is one item of concern. These drives are not design…

No, its working fine under 10.2 so I'd just as soon leave it alone without some actual notion that it will work under 10.1 Really I'm just looking to see if anybody else has run i…

Did you happen to try and just reinstall the cards firmware?

I set it up like you said, 80 gb drive as master on primary bus, dvdrw as master on secondary bus with the os9 drive as slave to the cd drive. I made two partitions on the 80gb, on…

My friends 1.07GHz iBook had a weird issue last week with its stock drive. After the grey loading screen, it would just sit at the blue screen and you can hear the hard drive tryi…

Eef, if there was a hole blown in the lobo, sounds like the poor little thing has been put out to pasture. I'd nose around for another lobo for it to see if you can breathe some li…

Hmm, forgot to mention I'm using 9.2.2. Other than using external speakers through the headphone jack, I'm coming up short.

Seems to me all G3 macs have their sound over the top, it is annoying. The only thing I would suggest is Hear, but I don't know if that works on Tiger.

I got one of my friends to tell me how he did it with his G4 iBook. He had to boot into Open Firmware and run a command to do it, but it (USB DVD-ROM) worked.

Everything I've read says they wont. Only the intel ones. I'll just snag a firewire cable this weekend and try disk mode on my G3 if I can get THAT to boot OSX......

I hate to say it, but it sounds like that one's past doing too much with, apart from stripping for parts...I'd look around for another 1400, working, and keep that one for parts. A…

Plenty of G4s will boot from USB, although none of the Power Macs will IIRC. It's worth a shot on the mini.

Not sure you got an answer to your question, so here's my shot at it: In addition to 120MB superfloppies, those drives will also read 1.44MB disks. Sadly, 800K (or 720K) disks are …

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…

Well the mini takes a laptop optical drive so in theory you could use some random ibook/powerbook drive if you want.

Hi! i have one of those powerbooks 500 with a nupower PPC 630e at 117mhz, and like you said... that's a really solid notebook, the innards are made of steel! 8-o , very impressiv…

I've got firewire in my B&W G3 but it doesn't run OSX.

You want www.unna.org , as an earlier post said. There was no internal modem, because the MP was made to use PCMCIA expansion cards. The square cover you mention is more or less i…
