Troubleshooting advice would help too, but I am fairly certain I have a PM G3 beige minitower that is on its way out.  Fresh PRAM battery, all expansions removed, minimal system connected (with the exception of a SATA card later on).  Power supply voltages are golden, within 10% or less of the...

I have an original 512K and I'd like to see if it's possible to get it up to 512Ke standards (800K floppies, etc). Would I need to simply transplant Plus or Ke ROMs into the 512K, or is there more involved?  Furthermore, is it even possible/practical?

I've got a PB3112SATA150 card coming in the mail.  I've read on here that it's possible to flash the chipset to be bootable in the Beige minitower G3 but I have no idea where to begin/what to search on how to go about doing this. Anyone have a link/guide/pointers on how to do this?  I have a...

While I'm aware that the Powerbook edition of the SCSI2SD does indeed exist, they can only be manufactured in limited runs due to their design being in significantly lower demand than your run-of-the-mill SCSI2SD, per a conversation I had with Interial via PM.  To this end, I took it upon myself...

Thought it would be better to have a separate topic so anyone finding this by search/Google could see it more easily. I installed four 9-chip, 30-pin 1MB SIMMs into my newly built Plus, and when it boots upon performing its RAM test, I get a Sad Mac code 030ff0.  Googling around indicates the...

I have a Beige G3 with a dead IDE hard drive.  I'd like to mount a SATA drive inside as those are inexpensive and common.  I also have a PCI SATA controller that also does RAID.   Is putting the SATA card inside worthwhile?  Can older OSes boot from them, or is OS X the only option?

So a while ago, I procured a Macintosh Plus case.  It has all of the mounting brackets, metal internals, etc. and all it's really missing is the Torx bits for the outer case (easily procured) and a cover for the battery.  $10, local pickup.  Easy peasy, will probably retrobrite it to give it a...

I successfully recapped my IIsi logic board, but unfortunately it had feedback issues in the video circuit that I narrowed down to the power supply--namely, physically tapping the tops of the DC-side capacitors in the PSU would cause the banding in the picture to get better or worse.  It did...
