I think I've done the full dump via telnet this time; I've attached it, I have configured "unlimited scrollback". It's a shame I didn't do it properly before updating. Is it useful for comparing with the initial dump I made of the iMac G3 firmware? A question for you and also for @herd. If a...

Hi! Before seeing your reply, I managed to repair the iMac. It seems it was some cold solder joints on the VRAM chips. I reflowed them with flux and a soldering iron, and now I don't have those artifacts anymore. Now that the iMac is working, I'm a little hesitant to try this new firmware...

Hi, yes, as you say, it's an iMac, and I'm using the original Rage Pro. The graphics problem appeared before the patcher, as you can see, it already happens in OpenFirmware before running the command. It appeared after changing the CPU and cache chips, but not immediately. That's the strange...

I've added some Geekbench results under Sorbet Leopard. These are for illustrative purposes only. G4 600MHz - 512kb L2 cache - 5:2 cache ratio G4 600MHz - forced 1MB L2 cache - 5:2 cache ratio G4 600MHz - patched 1MB L2 cache - 2:1 cache ratio

You made me sweat!!! :) Plus, add to that how complicated it is to type Open Firmware commands with a Spanish keyboard layout, hahaha, it was hard to find the ":" and the "\" key. I've attached what I got from teltet, before and after; I hope I did it right. I've attached photos of the whole...

This is the output before the update. Did I do it right? I used a Linux PC; I don't have a modern Mac, and I saved the terminal text as a .txt file. I haven't updated yet; I need to figure out how to run the installer from that link. Otherwise, I'll try desoldering, programming, and soldering.

Okay, that's very helpful. Thank you. You're able to understand all this with great ease; I can barely grasp it. I'm rereading it; I admire you. Just a quick note: this part: 0x3F40: # of L2s : 0x01 ; (what would two L2 caches mean?) -> could it indicate that there are two L2 cache chips? I...

Hello. Something very strange is happening to me, and perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I have a PM 7600 that has a Sonnet G4 upgrade, and it came with a non-functional SCSI CD drive. I've managed to get a couple of working drives, one DVD-ROM and one CD-RW, but both give me the same...

Good evening everyone! I've been working on this for the past week. I know it's nothing groundbreaking, it's not the first time it's been done, but I'm going to document everything I've done and discovered, and in the end, I need your help to finish it. I have an iMac G3 DV 400MHz, and I had a...

Great work!!! Were you able to compare the performance difference in operations like booting up, copying large files, or copying several small files? In these cases, would the increase be more noticeable? Daily use.

It looks like I need to replace the capacitors in the PSU. Can you access it and take a picture? If they've leaked acid, it will be visible.

Congratulations, I'm glad it works. And I'm also glad you confirmed that a clip for socket 370 works; you could even install a quality heatsink. I hope I can find one someday, but it will be difficult; they're not very common, especially in my area. Enjoy it.

You beat me to the purchase; I was about to buy it when it sold out. They were never sold in Spain, I was really looking forward to it 😅. I was planning to use a clip from a PIII, socket 370. I hope you enjoy it. 😊

Beautiful!! Thanks everyone for the replies. My friend has a rare collectible item.
