I recently got in 3 dead wallstreet batteries (2 Apple made and one 3rd party). One of the Apple batteries charges in like a few minutes to 4 lights and will not boot a machine. I …

Hacking lithium-ion battery packs is not for the uninitiated. Leave it alone. Click to expand... and how do you become initiated if you dont try ?

Now I can't save as QT movie and then try to open it like you did because the QT plugin under all three browsers asks me to pay for QT Pro upgrade, but I did try all three browsers…

Wow, you're having the exact opposite issue from what I'm having; bloody QuickTime, make up your mind what you want to break

What's on the battery "board"?

I moved the Rage128 to the slot nearest the IDE connectors and so far it works. On to locating an ATX case to hack up and locating a hard disk larger than 3.2GB...

I don't think the Mach 64 can handle a 66 mhz slot as it's a pretty ancient card. Could the 128 be dead?

Thanks for the reply, sircabulon. I think you're right - the card is toast. I tried it again in the 66MHz slot, and this time I got some video, but it was the same corrupted video…

Excellent! I will only be using low density RAM - Thanks!

The 66 mhz slot should not effect it. If the card can fit into the slot normally, then it is rated for that speed. Are there any broken or loose solders on the VGA connector? I …

yes it cantake non low profile sticks its the only Beige G3 that can cause there is allot of room above the ram. i just hope you dont mean high density and low density ram, cause t…

Without major hacking at the cables (if its even possible), its impossible - the cables are completely different.

I tried it in the slot next to the shortest one. After moving it to the slot nearest the IDE ports the video appears OK on the Mach64 PCI card. The Rage128 card is still not work…

Have you tried the video card in the slower 33 mhz PCI slot instead of the 66 mhz one? My mach 64 wouldn't play nice in the faster slot but was ok in the slower.

Thanks John, VLC plays 'em fine Just wish it wasn't such a slouch in loading time :

The first time the Mach64 video card was used the picture was fine. Now it is garbled. The Rage128 card still shows no video. I did find a Radeon 7000 32MB card that should be fl…

Answer: replace the video card with a Mach64 one.
