So I have once again tried to upgrade the processor in this machine. I got another sonnet upgrade but this time it was for a pretty good price and I had the option to return it so I was like why not. Anyways, I have tried to install the card many times but even though it boots up the mac...

So I just got my hands on a 1.4 ghz Sonnet G4 Upgrade card. I've been wanting one for awhile, but finally decided to make the purchase. I am installing it in my Powermac G4 Digital Audio. For those of you who have made a G4 (or really any similiar) upgrade before, are there any precautions or...

Just what the subject says. I know it needs a type II or III card. I just wanted to know if there are any out there that are better than others. Also, I wouldn't have to have one of those 10 mb/s hubs in between in order to use ethernet with this machine would I? Once again thanks. =)

OK so I am trying to install mac os 7.5.3 onto my macintosh quadra 610. I have tried a cd that I burned but when I try to install the os using this cd my install somehow always gets corrupted one way or another. I thought instead I could try something over networking just in case that might...

This question is about a game so I guess it would be ok to put it in the lounge (move it if i'm wrong). I recently purchased a game called Summoner on eBay. I was planning on playing it on my Digital Audio which is dual-booting OS 9 and 10.4.11. This is one of the last games to be OS 9 only so I...

I am currently running os x tiger on my 733mhz Digital Audio with 1.5Gb of ram and I want to upgrade the graphics card in it from the current GeForce2 MX. The main reason for doing this is to make it so leopard would run better. The other problem is the only monitor I can use at the moment is an...

Hello everyone I am planning on connecting my Quadra 610 to a modern ethernet connection? Would this adapter work for that? I just want to make sure before I order it...

Hi I am planning on purchasing this adapter to hook up my Quadra 610 which has an aaui port to a modern ethernet cable (airport express). I just wanted to make sure that this one would work because I have seen different ones that say like "rj45" and "10 base t" etc. Hoping someone could assure...

So my family used an iMac G5 as our one and only computer for many years. In fact, my mom bought it like a week before the intel macs came out (even though she has been buying macs since the late 80's she isn't exactly an expert on the hardware side of things). It worked great until it broke...

Hello, I am looking to just get a quick answer on what to do in order to hook up my digital audio powermac to two displays. It is currently hooked up to an adc studio monitor. I have an acer monitor sitting around that takes vga input. Even though there are ports on the back of my mac for vga...

This will be my last question for awhile, I promise. Ok so I decided to revert my quadra to 7.6.1. The installation was a success, but the computer fails to boot unless I hold shift to disable extensions at boot up. Otherwise, it spends a long time on the start up screen, and then proceeds to...

So my replacement hard drive is arriving in a few hours and I wanted to know if there is a specific way to replace it with the defective one in my Quadra 610. Once I pull the case off and disconnect the two cables attached to the previous hard drive, can I just lift it out or are there screws...

Ok so I want to hook up my Quadra 610 to the internet just for fun and to do some Light Browsing (Yes I know it wont be fast). It currently has an AAUI-15 ethernet port at the rear of the computer. Here is the situation. I have a wireless wpa internet connection throughout my home. I connect my...

Ok so my quadra 610 has been acting up a little the past few days. I managed to perform a complete install of OS 7.6.1. The problem is that my compute only manages to boot up one out of every few times. Sometimes it will boot up perfectly, and then the next few times I will get that question...

Ok so i have decided to install 7.6.1 on my quadra 610. Since I don't have any cd caddies yet, I was forced to use the 19 =P floppy install. It was working great, each time I used a floppy it would ask to insert the next one. After the "Please insert Install 19" message was over, I stuck my...

Okay my quadra arrived today and of course I have a bunch of questions for you guys. I am attaching some pictures of it that will help you guys know what I am talking about. Alright, so question number #1 is about ethernet. It says that it has an ethernet port, and I see that symbol that stands...

OK so i will finally be upgrading the ram in my SE tomorrow. I am letting it sit all night unplugged just in case. Ive read several guides on how to perform the upgrade, but the first step is always to discharge the CRT. This might be a stupid question but how do i do this? P.S. Apparently some...

So i have decided on a quadra 610 for my summer project. I have already bought one online, but it will take about a week to get here. I bought it thinking that yay it has a full 68040 processor. Now after reading a little more about it, I find out that sure enough, there was a version of the...

Hey guys, just discovered this forum a few days ago and I'm already loving it. Im hoping that you could help me with a problem I am having with my g3's. Ok here goes... I am currently running os x 10.4.11 tiger on an imac g3 400mhz 768mb ram. This mac is connected to my wpa2 network through its...

I recently acquired a fully working Macintosh SE. It has a 20mb hard drive, and it is the model that can only read 800k floppies. It currently has 1mb of ram, but i really want to upgrade it to the full 4mb. The only problem is I have never done a ram upgrade with this old of a mac before. I...
