Hmmmm interesting.  I'm using a Crescendo 400/1M G3 CPU to preserve the stock card (and have more speed), and I actually noticed I have the Powerlogix control panel app and extension sitting in a folder on the desktop just now too and when I flashed it up, it was displaying the status of both...

I'm glad somebody addressed the elephant in the room finally... I shall watch this thread with interest and await some meaningful data to prove or disprove the suspicion. Assuming I can find some identical drives in both SCSI and IDE configuration, and some proper benchmarking tools, I may be...

I am actually going to try this now for a lol I think... Never knew about this little workaround til now.

Nice pickup. :) I recently aquired a Saw myself in addition to the Yikes ive already had for years. Very nice machine, huge RAM ceiling, uprgradable to a decent degree in the processor and graphics departments, lots of slots, airport compatible out of the box, and capable of running OS8.6 if...

The compositions of the plastics themselves do seem to vary greatly from year to year and presumably one place of origin to another. For instance I have found as a rule of thumb, the early 350, 400 and 450Mhz machines in Australia (presumably sourced from CHina and Singapore in most cases) seem...

My G3 was topped out at a factory 450MHz with a rev 2 board and slightly faster Rev.2 Rage128 and 1Gb of RAM, with 7200rpm Seagate drives. My Yikes (which is essentially a B+W minus ADB and with firmware support for a G4 CPU) has basically the same setup but had a Sonnet 500MHz G4 ZIF upgrade in...

I beleive it was at the 500MHz point from what I recall of various machines I have had apart that the CPU position changed so 350/400/450 chassis and 500/600/700 chassis differ.

Oh great the Classic divided by zero!!! Now the world is going to implode... what were you thinking computer?!?!?!? NEVER DIVIDE BY ZERO!!!! :O Lol sorry that was totally unhelpful but I couldn't help myself... Divide by zero errors have always amused me greatly. lol Carry on...

This page is as good on my souped-up G3-powered 9600 as it is on my G5 so I doubt you will have any dramas on the iMac :) TC is a bit boggy in Classilla but then I don't have huge expectations of nearly 20 year old hardware heheh. For what it's worth, to a point you can still find a way around...

Ah you found them also! I was considering buying them from across the drink but then decided I have spent far too much on Mac's already this month!

Indeed the 233 was always 66MHz across both models. Then yes, 66MHz was standardised in the PDQ and also the Lombard... being raised to 100MHz with the Pismo which from memory also had AGP graphics. More strangely at least again from performance perspective is that a 66MHz bus speed that was...

So this thread has been going for a while now and as yet my 9600 hasn't made an appearance, so I figure seeing as though I just reshuffled things and put it in a more permanent spot on the desk of power, it would be fitting to give it the introduction it is deserving of. :) So here it is, one...

I'm impressed tha you have gotten hold of an iMac without disintegrated factory speakers tbh... that is worth it's weight in gold right there. :) If you can find a junk 600MHz Snow or Graphite machine this will have the 750cx and the 16Mb graphics set also... still not quite the 700Mhz of the...

IIRC the faster WS ran an 83MHz bus which is how you ended up with the wierd 250(ish) and 292MHz clockspeed in the top of the line model... at the low end of the lineup, the 233 was at a conventional 66MHz. For the sake of god knows what it was standardised at the slower 66MHz bus speed in the...

From my experience they have fairly bad issues with cap rot and also were from the Maxell battery era so a lot of them have had boards rendered unsalvagable, or at least beyond easy repair, at a time when they really were not worth saving... They were in buyback centers and hock shops, garage...

I find with my 9600 aside from the usual 9600 double boot quirk, when i has a crap or no PRAM battery, the front power button tends to be a little temperamental and require a few presses to get it to work. Power key will always start it though, and once it has been powered on with the power key...

That said... it is great to hear of movement at the station again on the Clasilla front nonetheless. :)

Makes sense for TFF to be given priority I guess as realistically G5-based machines are still perfectly viable daily grinders and fully capable of swallowing all the modern internet has to offer... the only thing that would stop them is software support. Most machines that can't comfortably run...

Yeh vx's are all a bit silly lol... Can be a little temperamental like 9600's and G5's. :) And thats a fair call... There is no real reason not to as long as the caps are in spec for the application. As far as rubicon caps go I havent read a whole lot of bad about them so they should last a...

Yep I would take the fact it has a new battery with a pinch of salt... basically it meant he spent a couple of bucks to make the ad look better. Not that I am actually denouncing the guy or implying he is being shifty at all, as that is not my intent. I just liken advertising a new PRAM battery...
