Perhaps there's someone out there who can enlighten me about this problem. I have a G3 400MHz Lombard with 10.3.9/9.2.2. It refuses to charge or run on the main battery. It runs fine on the power adapter, the 45W flying saucer type. In OS 9, the battery isn't even recognized in the control...

I pulled the on board cache card from the mother board when I installed the G3 years ago. This was recommended in the Sonnet installation instructions. The 500Mhz G3 processor worked great. This 1Ghz G4 processor works well now and the original issue I had with crashing is gone. I still see...

John - That's the version I tried first. It refuses to load in OS9. I had to dig through my collection and found a copy of 1.5f6 and that works just fine. I'm a little older than a first generation iMac G3. I knew there was a reason I rat holed software when I bought my first Mac LC in 1994...

John, that's a reasonable suggestion. However I don't see an option to change the speed. I have reported sizes and speeds, then an option to enable/disable the cache at startup or an option to turn it on/off. It seems I have a choice. Run with the smaller 256k @ 1GHz L2 cache or the larger...

This is a Sonnet card. No switches. However, CPU Director did the trick. Thank you. It took me a while to hunt down an older copy since the latest release refused to run. What I found is when I booted in OSX, the L3 Cache was turned off. I turned it on to see what would happen and danged...

I've been running this 8500 with a Sonnet 500MHz G3 processor for years. I've had no issues with it and I've been quite satisfied. I've rigged this machine with 768MB of memory, two 4GB and one 9GB hard drives and I boot 7.5.5, 9.1 or 10.2.8 depending on what I need to do. The only PCI card I...

I tried to use Yahoo Instant Messenger V2.5.3 tonight and I got an unexpected announcement. "This older version is no longer supported. Please upgrade...yada yada.." Here's my issue. I'm running 10.2.8 and can't go any higher on this machine. I booted on OS9 and tried it again. Where this...

I have a dead Mac Plus with no CRT if that will help you. Imagine a Plus with new holes! I'm in Palmdale, CA. PM if interested.

Well, I'm new here too and it looks like I'm in good company. Here's my rundown. Main Machine: Mac 8500 upgraded with a Sonnet 500Mhz G3, a Sonnet Tempo Firewire/USB card with a hub, 544 MB and three 4GB internal drives. I run OSX 10.2.8, can boot OS 9.1 OR 7.5.5 when needed. All three OS's...
