    Power Mac 9500 startup woes

    Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. That takes a peice of software to run and if the HD is messed up nothings going to happen. Put the 604 cpu back in try to boot from a OS cd. You should make shure the Dimms are the same voltage. Not all 168 pin dimms are the same.

    Laserwriter Pro 600

    I have a pro 630 and I love it,have an extra one for parts. Got them at the thrift store for $5 or $6. Theres a place inside for a HD but I dont have the bracket for it. Good luck with your 600,they are built like a tank you know.

    USB DVD Burner under OS 8.6?

    If you want to do DVD video your better off with a home DVD recorder connected to a video card.

    NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

    When you unsnap the speaker there are tabs that hold the back of the case on ,if you move the back panel slightly its much easier to reinstal the MB. Its the screw in the middle that holds the MB in place. And you can fix the switch with duck tape untill you find a new case for parts.

    5300 Brand New Sealed In Box

    I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe sees the drive, when you click mount, nothing. Had to load OS7.5 with floppies. Tried to get in it as a network...

    Power Macintosh 7200 and a G3

    Sounds like an extension conflict. Go into the extensions manager and turn off some third party extensions. Installing conflict catcher is the answer. I had to do that on a 9600.
