I have Power Mac G3 beige minitower which I think is a perfect bridge Mac between the old classics and the modern world. It still has SCSI but can also be equipped with USB and Firewire ports. It can read and write HFS and HFS+ with Mac OS 9 and up. After some years in storage I needed mine...

I acquired a "Power Macintosh 700" (i.e. a Quadra 700 with Apple's Apple Power Mac Upgrade Card) last week: I always wanted a Quadra 700 in good condition. So the PPC card is a welcome addition. :quadra:

Up until recently Asante offered the old drivers and manuals for download. Seems to be gone. I think 5.6.1 is the latest version of Asante EtherTalk.

I have no specific experience with this combination but I cannot see why this should not work. The HD20SC - without the HDD - is just a case with a power supply and an SCSI connection. Do not mix up the HD20 with the HD20SC. The former is a special kind of HDD with am Apple floppy connector...

I asked the seller: he did not change the caps on the analog board (but on the main board) and did not manipulate the crt magnets or yoke.

Yes, he wrote that he could not regulate the height of the picture with the pot. That is one thing. I'm more worried about the uneven distortion. Maybe it is the deflector magnets? P.S. How did you find the ad?

Hi, I purchased an SE/30 which runs fine but the monitor picture is vertically compressed (more on the left side, less on the right side). It stays the same even when the SE/30 warms up. Is this a problem on the analog board or at the monitor yoke? Any hints are much appreciated. Best, bobo68

Yes, these are the chips plus the muxes UA8 - UD8. Numbering scheme is correct. You need to check all connections systematically. When I did it I built a little spreadsheet with the expected connections (chip & pin <-> chip & pin) and then checked all of them.

I'd check all connections of the ASC based on SE/30 schematics. What kind of bomb / message do you get? I would assume that there is something wrong with the bus address lines incl. chips select etc. of the ASC. HTH, bobo68

Nope, in this case the three mentioned jumpers disable: http://keycorner.org/pub/text/doc/dsas3xxx.pdf If it works I would not change anything.

Is there a pcmcia card installed with the UPS program? Anyway, you should be able to circumvent the UPS package from starting by booting with extension off. See http://www.pda-soft.de/faq/frames_newton-faq-nos.html#IIIB2c Best, Boris

You do not need one of the very rare SCSI-Ethernet adapters. There are PDS slot cards available like the Asante MacCon+ 30i.

Just search the interwebs. Don't know if this is the card you have: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX//G3CARDS/XLR8_MAChCarrier450/ The software to configure the card is described here, although it should boot into standard settings without software: http://lowendmac.com/misc/05/0606.html Best...

I'm not really sure what you want to achieve. But you probably need a bridge Mac that can transfer files between the 400k floppies of the Mac 512k and the "modern" world (1.44 floppy, network, zip drive, usb stick, ...). New external floppy drives cannot read the 400k/800k GCR floppy format of...

The getting started cards that came with the OMP were ROM cards: http://www.forcedperfect.net/gear/software/newtongettingstartedcard/ They have no battery.

SCSI2SD util says "SD Capacity (512-byte sectors): 0" when I have no SD in the slot. Otherwise it reports the size of the SD. The SCSI2SD monitor opens a little window with: SCSI2SD Device: Ready, 4.6 SD Test: OK SCSI Test: OK Have you tried different USB cables? Apart from that I'd say...

Mac Plus has no fan. :beige:

I'd ask Michael McMaster. I do not think that the terminators cannot be powered by the molex plug but then if there is no jumper anymore +5V from the molex would always be connected to the terminators and the TERMPWR line?!?

I have a Belkin USB 2.0 card in my beige G3. It is called Belkin F5U220 (see http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=107412). I heard for maximum Mac compatibility one should go for a card with a NEC D720101GJ chip (like this Belkin). I'm using these extensions...
