Interesting that it actually works. I am looking to replace the old PSU on the 8100 with a modern one eventually, but of course making the adapter may be the tricky part. Do you need to populate the 3.3v and ground ones on the board. Also, what PSU Udid you use and the power ratings. I have a...

Here it is. I actually took an image of the installer disk, but I know they are also on Macintosh Garden.

While still waiting for responses to buy a Power Macintosh 9600, slowly gathering upgrades, probably more in the future. Speaking of which, while browsing Yahoo Auctions, I found another G3 accelerator. Won it for $46, which someone is trying to sell on Ebay for $200, granted it’s boxed. I have...

Speaking of which, here is the benchmark scores, but they were in the blog post of course. It's several times faster than the 601. The 601 does poorly with websites it can access like Macintosh Garden, but with the G3, it's just manageable. I think back in the day, people will prop in...

Gauges should be installed along with the cache and memory checking app with the MaxPowr G3 drivers. It’s a useful tool to check if the Mac is using the G3 processor and what speed it is running at. Also, did you remove the cache card if there is one installed. You need to remove it as the G3...

I have an 8100 with the same Newer Tech PDS version G3 accelerator, but the 8100 (and the 7100) uses a big board with a breakout ribbon for the video card. I'm using Mac OS 7.6.1 and it does work, not sure it will work under 7.6, especially 7.1 as my system is a 8100/100av, and can't boot into...

Unless you can source a big enough eeprom chip that can flash using the program, the Rabbit Hole SATA PCI card will probably be the easiest to flash since it has a big eprom, although it costs a bit more, but it has a 128 GB M2 SSD included...

Oof, I’m must be lucky to get one of those cards. I don’t think the four port SATA cards ever got hacked or know any flashable ones. The only flashable ones are the two port SIL3112 cards. I wonder, what other SATA cards that use this chip. The actual card itself appears to use a Intel EW31244...

I managed to order the four port one in 2021, I managed to get one after a few weeks, they didn't charge me until it actually shipped. Not so sure about now given that it's been three years. Not to mention, it's possible to flash them a bit easier now, but I haven't tried flashing a Rabbit Hole...

Nice, but I think somewhere is mentioned, namely the video that 65scribe on the Power Macintosh 8100 says not to run the machine without anything populated in the PDS slot. Not sure if anything bad will happen if you don't have anything on it, but putting a G3 accelerator without a video PDS...

For a while now, I wanted to restore a better Beige Power Macintosh that can run Mac OS 7 not just for the nostalgia, but to have better compatibility with older games, especially those that require low color modes. Back when I was a child, I only had access to the relatively low end Performa...

I don’t have room for a desktop, I prefer towers since I can shove it underneath my desk, not so much with a desktop. That is why I want an 8600 at a minimum. (Not an 8500 or 9500, it’s hard to get into those cases, and I know since I upgraded an 8100 recently, which uses the same case from the...

I recently found this Interware Booster G3 333 MHz for all the PCI PowerMac (7200/7500/7300/7600/8500/8600/9500/9600) and Mac Clones models. It only cost about $100 from Yahoo Actions, and it came with a driver disk, which was readable. Apparently, Interware sold products with the Viimage in the...
