I recently installed three small fans inside my iMac G3 to improve airflow and cooling and everything was fine. After that I thought I'd add one more running at 5v to cool one last point, and after that I noticed strange variations in clock speeds after booting. After installing the fourth fan...

OSX does a CPU check on boot. I have a 1.8Ghz overclocked PowerBook G4 which will crash on any OSX system after booting. However, I installed the Snow Leopard PPC system which doesn't seem to check the CPU and it worked perfectly. No issues at all when running applications etc. OS9 usage was...

I've been looking for the chassis and flex cabling for a long time, they seem very hard to find...

I wrote a guide on this focusing on OS8/9 a while back and I'm still using email with Outlook Express occasionally. I've accepted there are security vulnerabilities with this setup but I enjoy using it and don't transmit anything of importance. There's a small annual cost involved with this...

That was me you were talking to in the r/VintageApple post, It was very well timed for me haha :cool:

Thanks for your detailed reply!! I'm not sure why I thought I had 128MB SIMMs, I actually have 2x 64MB SIMMs. So the 136MB reading makes sense now. Interestingly the 6100 will only recognise the sticks if they are installed as pairs. When only only one SIMM is present the 6100 only recognises...

Is there a way to increase the 136MB RAM limit in the Power Mac 6100 and 7100? I have a bunch of 128MB EDO sticks that work in these machines but nothing above 136MB is recognised. Are there any hacks that can be done to change this or is it locked in with the default CPU specs? I have a G3...

Ah bugger that’s a shame. Thanks for the info! Looks like I’ll have to get one of the Asante AAUI adaptors instead. 

No I don’t all that is long gone here in NZ, but the card has an Ethernet port so I thought I might be able to use it as an Ethernet device? Would this make sense?

Does anyone have the drivers for this card? It's unrecognized by my system and I can't find the drivers anywhere :(

I've finally got my hands on a Power Mac 7100 with a CPU upgrade but can't screen change resolutions. I have tried two LCD monitors (one with a native resolution of 1024x768), and a ViewSonic CRT with a native resolution of 1600x1200. I have tried several NUBUS cards and at the moment am...

Hi Night Stalker, Sorry for the very late reply, here's an image of the sticker removed. It appears to read: PEEL18CV8S CT005058VG 624FB -10

The monitor mod sounds like a great idea!! I understand what you're saying but the technical stuff is a little over my head now, i'm not sure what the DeclROM is or how to find it?

So here's how I went with TattleTech, and also Slot Info. Slot info seems as if it may be reading it as a video card??

I haven't tried TattleTech, where can I get that from?   I also just tried these drivers on OS7.6 and got the same results..

It is the Farallon Ethernet PC Card drivers, although I didn't expect these to work as it's not a PC Card. The most luck I've had was with the 'PB1400 EN Installer 1.6 '. Once installed and restarted, immediately when the Finder loads I get an error message saying "No valid ethernet address was...

Hello, I've been trying to get the internal Ethernet card working on my PowerBook, It's a Farallon card that plugs directly into the motherboard. I previously had the driver for this and tested that it worked, but lost the system a while back when I wiped one of my drives. I've searched all...

Bugger that's a shame, I guess I'll stick with OSX then. Thanks for your replies!

Hello, After becoming increasingly frustrated with OSX I've revived my iMac G4 and set it up with OS 9.2.2.  I mostly want to use the system for playing music from my network drive, I have it connected to an 8TB NAS drive with all my music on it. The problem is that all of my music is in the...
