Here's the install docs for it, http://tinyurl.com/39m3hul, did you follow them step by step?

I've just put Ubuntu 10.04 on my G3 400/512 iMac and it works pretty well, not exactly fast but at least you get an up to date OS with support for the latest Firefox.

I work for a Premium Reseller and mentioned to a customer a few weeks back that I collect vintage Macs, fast forward to today and in he comes with an LC 475 + mouse/KB for me as they were going to be junked. I'm chuffed about this as I don't yet own an 040 machine. It's very yellowed and has...

I paid about £7 for mine on ebay, 9500/150, and in better condition then that.

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a cheap supply of CPU's.

All my 9500 woes were caused by the G3 CPU card, I must have reseated it 15 times before the machine eventually booted.

If you don't like the lounge don't read it - simples. Without a forum like the lounge where people can let of steam an talk off topic the other Mac related forums will become far more clogged up with inane, off topic talk which will really rattle people. Not indexing the Lounge makes sense but...

^^seconded, use it as a jukebox/retro games machine. Max out the RAM and stick in an ATI 128.

The whole 62/300 and 52/300 line up was nasty, in fairness though when I took my 5200 from 7.5.5 to 8 there was a big stability improvement and it seems slightly faster, I wonder if Apple did some tweaking in the OS for this lineup.

My 9500's stock card was an ATI Mach 64 with 2 megs of Vram, how much does the Twin Turbo have? I'd guess this is the problem, not enough video RAM for OS X.

Pretty much all the software you'll ever need is here: http://www.unna.org And for a wifi driver, this does the trick with many different cards: http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm Enjoy your Newt, they are great little machines.

You'll need the adapter dongle that originally came with the 2100 if you want to do cabled transfers. Personally I'd avoid all that malarky and download NCX. WiFi transfers are much more convenient. For any other software, try here: http://www.unna.org

Are you using OS X? If so then the G4 500 will spank the G3 round the block and back. Whether it's worth the money or not is up to you.

Sorry to be a downer but I think it looks awful compared to the old look.

^^9500's too. I bet they aint going for that much, mine was only £10 IIRC.

Some of those adapters have a bucket load of slider pins and the correct settings can be a real pain to get right, aer you sure it's configured correctly. Serously, I'd look into getting a PCI GPU, you can pick up an ATI 128 for next to nothing and it's far quicker then the onboard graphics.

It'll work in any PCI Mac with OS 9, whether ot not it's worth it depends on the CPU, if you are running a high end Mach5 604e or G3/4 then great, if you are running the stock CPU (up to 200 mhz) then not worth it as the CPU can't offload the data to the GPU fast enough to make any difference.

My IIvi is rare and desirable? Wow, never heard it called that before. :lol:

Does this actually work in a 6400? I've heard it mooted but never actually read a success story.

604e has a better FPU then the G3, at integar calculations the G3 kicks its' arse.
