I currently have the following: G3 Tower with G3/400mhz processor from my Blue/White G3 192MB RAM 4.3GB hard disk Zip 100 drive Wings A/V card from a G3 AIO Panasonic 24x CD-…

I don't think the Lisa ever had enough focus to connect it back to the II line. The Mac, though, got an IIe-on-a-card functionality added later.

Thank you, almeath!

I've asked a bunch of people selling sawtooth G4s on eBay whether they're willing to sell me their original restore CD. Although it seems that most G4s ended up shipping with MacOS…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan? Click to expand... Only the fan screwed to the original B&W rev.2 Heatsink. If I get a heatpiped one, I'm afr…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan? It would take some sheet or metal bar work, but you might consider trying to mount some of the modern heat pipe equipped …

It doesn't work with the ROM from 9.0 I tried it.

Joo think it would work with the ROM from OS 9.0 Sawtooth CD?

Thanks for all the responses. [] ]'> The ROM on my B&W G3 CD is 1.4, and on the 'retail' CD it is 1.6. Unfortunately neither one will boot my G4. When running th…

I tihnk the ROM would do the trick here, hm? so generic OS8.6 install + 2.5.1 ROM would boot the sawtooth?

well, I did a bit of digging, and I found someone with a similar issue here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4994036 looks like it might just be a power issue …

Got the 2.5.1 ROM? I searched hi and lo for it

According to Mactracker, the sawtooth did come with 8.6 originally, but later came with Mac OS 9.0. It also says it needs Mac OS ROM 2.5.1. I would love a sawtooth running 8.6 It …

I haven't a clue where 1983 came from (other than from my fingers), but 2003 would make a good alternative with a little more credibility. As for the prototype status of the iMac,…

Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, if you don't want to fool around with flashing PC cards is the best.

Is there any way to get 8.6 running on the G4 using these CDs or am I basically screwed without the original? Click to expand... AFAIK, that's a version unique to the sawtooths…

Hm? My Sawtooth came with 9.02 (which crashes left, right and centre, BTW).

If you can flash a 5200, not bad price for some that can handle modern gaming (Not with full settings, but I play Orange Box with it).

if you really want the best video card go for a flashed Radeon 9800 with 256MB VRAM or a flashed GeForce 7 series card. the 9800 gets pretty hot compared to the geforce cards. so …

OK, this is getting really frustrating. I pulled out a SCSI CD drive (actually a burner), and I managed to boot off that (even with no terminator). I used my 9.2.2 CD. With all the…

Thats really quite interesting, equill. Yes, i am still using the original transparent Apple power cable with it. I might have to have a look at the plug and check that its in good…

Don't, without deliberate testing, discount the rôle of the Mac's mains cable in all this. I have had a Snow 500 iMac since new. It has now been always-on since about 1983 but fo…

... But, what all are you wanting to do with it? If you just want it for "2d" stuff, then your 7500 is perfectly acceptable. If you want it for Core Image stuff, then a Radeon 96…

An ATI Radeon 9800 is, I believe, the best video card that was released for that Mac. There was an X800 released, but it requires the 8X AGP slot of the Power Mac G5, so won't wor…

Well you're not going to believe this, but it seems to have come back to life again. I just sat down with it and tried various arrangements of CPU, motherboard and RAM. Eventually …
