Thank you all for your help. I just wanted to know if I could use the cards I have in that machine. Now I’ll just try to find another home for them and free the space for something else!

The low profile black card is kinda recognized, but not sure it works. A USB stick put in it does nothing. This may relate to the VIA chipset mentioned previously.

I installed all the extensions, without any USB card installed, the OS boots normally. With the green card installed, I get the message below at boot. I guess it means the system is trying to activate the card and fails doing so because the card is not fully compatible. Sounds right? I...

Will I need to reinstall the OS? I read that OS 9 will install the drivers at installation time if a card exists, otherwise no.

Hello, I’d like to know if you think it could be possible to install either of these StarTech cards into. Beige G3 and have it work in Mac OS 9.2.2? Thank you

I have 4 drives configured on my BlueSCSI (0-3) and the CD-ROM is on ID 6 from memory. I reconfigured the drive from ID 3 to 6 to clear out the BlueSCSI. It works fine on Mac, but not seen in DOS, or at least not readable. When you say mounted, do you mean inserted in the CD drive, or DOS or...

I’m running Mac OS 7.5.5, and I think I have an early version of the DOS utility for Mac, maybe 1.3 or something like that. I have to double check. Maybe a more recent version will help. I already have installed the CDROM software for Mac. As far as I’m concerned the CD drive is the original...

Hi there, I have a PC Compatibility card (486 DX2-66) installed in my Quadra 800, and I am trying to configure access to the CD-ROM drive on it. The DOS driver is configure correctly, but the CD drive (Letter E: ) is never accessible (IO error). The CD mount on the Mac side correctly. I think...

Hi there, I have an LC 475 that I try to use with VGA on a small HD LCD TV. Sadly, the LC 475 send the video signal at 67Hz and the LCD TV does not support this mode. I use a VGA2HDMI converter. I know it works, as I'm also using the same setup on my Beige G3 and can use resolution up to...

I have the adapter pictured below to connect my macs to à VGA display. I’m trying to find what the switches do. I can find a manual for a 10 switch model, but never found anything for 6. Anyone can help  in current position I know it can do 832x624 at 75 Hz on my beige G3 tower.    i also...

All the beige G3 I saw so far were pretty much configured all the same way. The logic board have 2 IDE connectors, and one 50 pin SCSI connector. In the desktop, the first IDE connector is for the HDD that is installed close to the logic board as you can see in the picture above, the second is...

This is a ROM Rev. A with the number above that I can see on the machine. That explain why I could not configure a second slave drive in my previous tests. Thank you

Don't worry about that, nothing to be afraid of. The logic board that did this damage was trashed and a new logic board was installed in its place. This damage was not caused by the current logic board. But thanks for the warning.

Another strange fact about this G3 is the sound. At first I was thinking the speaker was dead or disconnected, but when I go in the Sound Preferences, the main volume slider is at the lower level possible. When I try to change it, it goes back to level 0 and blink the menu bar. Very strange...
