Good luck in your quest to find a 2100! I'd sell you mine, but its not working properly. I still use my MP 2000 all the time. They make great little tools and can definitely tur…

Because the extension improves performance greatly, enabling all the optimizations available. When I boot with my Sonnet G3 400 MHz in an 8500 without any extensions, everything ru…

A Color Classic with a 550 logic board is indeed a thing of beauty (I have one).
I have, however, recently acquired (by sibling proxy and at a distance of a 2 hr drive) a lot of p…

I just remembered that it is possible to overclock these older Sonnet cpu ugrades using a utility called Sonnet Clocker. See http://www.zone6400.com/Sonnet_Clocker.html for more in…
As the owner of a retired 6100 running a NewerTech 330mhz G3 with a Power Computing HPV card, you will definitely notice a big jump in speed. In the 6100, the HPV card does connect…
Not so - it works okay for me. I think the issue is that it's being hosted locally somewhere around here, running an HTTP server off a Newton. I can imagine this would be a little …

I wish they had made one with beefier specs for upgrading...

They did, it was called the Colour Classic II and was released in Asia and Canada as far as I kn…

I am thinking of buying a sonnet g3 500 Mhz and a 8100 HPV card for my mac performa 6116. Do i need any adapters for the connection? Will i see a big difference at the speed?

You want a 2100 if you actually want to go on the web with it, as the lower RAM of the 2000 limits its usefulness there by way of serving up constant out of memory errors. The two …

The problem with the 2300c running on battery may not be the Duo, but the battery. Type 3 batteries (I don't know about the BTI type 4) are notorious for draining down to the point…
The CF-IDE adapter was the cheapest Chinese one I could find on eBay and the CF card was a good brand but nothing special. Worked first time and without a hitch since.

I haven't been able to check the lone parts LC that I have; sorry.
But maybe the motherboard caps leaked while it was in the box. It's certainly possible, given the age of the …
LUCKY! :O :O
The Goodwill here has few computer-related things most of the time, but there was one time where I went there, and they had probably 20-30 computers in total. Onl…
I always thought it would be interesting to have a Blue Dalmation or FlowerPower iMac. I have not seen one in person but I would pick it up if I saw it.
On the same topic. I pic…
I always wanted a jewel tone iMac, ruby or sage. But I got a graphite much like that one because when it was time to buy it my other choices were (ew) blue dalmatian and (ick) flow…

I love the speakers in those very much, it's just a shame that at lowest volume, I can't use them at night when I had one of those.
Man, now I want a G3 iMac again....

Good lord, I hadn't even thought about that. I'm having a hell of a time getting my Duo to recognize larger drives (by which I mean a 2GB and a 6GB that should be ATA-3 and ATA-5 r…

Some random thoughts from a Duo fan:
1. A 2300c should be able to run 8.1 well enough, though Dan Palka over on system7today swears by 7.6.1 on these machines.
2. For various rea…

Why sound though? If it were specifically for an external graphics disp…
Thanks for the info. Two of the sticks I got are 64MB, 5v, FPM, 60ns, as far as I can tell. After installing those two, in A4/B4 slots, the 9600 gets most of the way through the …

You'll be delighted with the 2300c, I'm sure. It's quite a capable little machine - or at least, mine would be if it wasn't riddled with issues. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you h…
