im considering modding a G3 into a 630 case. my macintosh experience was pretty much only 68K so i have a few questions the G3 beige has lots of ram slots and a different configuration than the B&W but looks like it maybe smaller. what are the fundamental differences? i know firewire and...

so, i downloaded a bunch of iso's from macintoshgarden, macintoshrepository, and winworldpc. in the end it was a 9.1 image from winworldpc that i installed with, paired wtih a USA 9.1 update i installed over the existing 9.1 system. then i pulled the 9.2 update off a mac addict cd. it did not...

it was a process but i got it. so my 9200 radeon is still not working properly. i thought 9.2 would fix that but - nope. im not even sure whats wrong with it anymore, i got mpeg decoding and some 3d acceleration to work under mac os 8.6 with drivers from os9 off its retail CD. these same...

i want 9.2.2 on my 6360. can i mod or flash a different rom to this Performa to make the mac os installer think its compatible?

i had an idea, ill bet i have a 9.2.1 updater on one of my mac addict CD's. ima try installing from that

i am running 9.1, just did a clean install on an IDE hard drive to eliminate variables. using OS 9 helper i try to open the 9.2.1 update for install. it gets maybe a second into the loading bar and tells me "error reading disk image from disk". i downloaded the 9.2.1 update from macintosh...

i bought a ch341A and new rom chips off digikey (1MB) and flashed a few with different rom revisions. i soldered them onto my radeon card and am currently going through testing for performance on my 6360CD. i do not own a PC with a PCI slot so this was my cheap route

awww. thats too bad.

will a 630CD accept a 68060 CPU drop in?

well my 630CD was our first system. i think i was 6 or 7? mom was shocked i was able to hook it up with out reading a manual. i thought it was rather obvious, everything had markings - it was like lego. aol 2.7 iirc, global village model (2800 baud). the sales woman told us "this system has 8MB...

i have discovered some things. turns out you guys were right about a extension issue, i didnt believe it because of how it was acting BUT i have confirmed that using an older OS with a Rage 128 produces the exact same hard lock during startup. with proper drivers for that card it boots with the...

i zapped the Pram a few times and that seems to have solved this issue for hte most part. i can multi task again while copying things in the background. i need to look into how PR works. do any of you have a link to how this systems bus was designed? cory said the left/right 32 lane was never...

So I spent a couple hours today diagnosing and troubleshooting. I stumbled across what I believe demonstrates an operating system level error. I had the same operating system and hard drive in a 6300, it did not present these problems. That led me to believe that wasn't the issue. However... I...

finished an over night hardware scan. all ram passed its tests. system locked up while testing each memory block and then unlocked when changing blocks. im going to swap different ram sticks and leaving a dimm slot open as well. see if there is a configuration that hte system does not lockup with

i REALLY want the 9200 i got to work. its a sweet card. we will see how far i get. i just put an offer in on a 7000 (25.00 on the bay) edit: just won the auction. the chip listed on the write up is out of production. i found a couple alternatives but both have higher minimum voltages. so i...

i saw there is a edited rom but it said the draw back was hte card only worked AFTER drivers were loaded. that sounds like a poor trade off. ill dig into it a bit more but the 7000 looks to be twice the card of a rage 128 so, might be a good option. im also going to try os 9 helper and get...

well, i cant pass up the chance ot mod a video card. that sounds like fun

ok, thats good to know. thanks. gives me a better idea of what im dealing with. i have no hard locks in purpiturity and i do not have any other anomolus issues. the hardware quick tests so far - are passing so... im not suspecting a capacitor issue as id expect that to lead to more HARD...

im going to do some googling on this. i just checked ebay and see no fewer than 5 different full sized cards. PCB color differences, heat sinks, memory configuration.... do you have any insight on best chance of compatibility or a forum link for whats been tried in the past? edit: i found...

yea, the i/o stops. the ram is new? its from a site that packaged it as new anyway. i have more sticks, smaller so i can test things out. im running the hardware tests now - will be well into tomorrow until i know more. so do these systems not have the issues i listed? its not a limitation of...
