What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. Thanks!

I like the idea of having one of those adapters, but the G3 cost $50 and the display wouldn't be much more. It just doesn't seem right to pay more for an adapter than you do for the computer or display its self. I noticed a 21" (I think) Apple Studio CRT display sitting outside someone's...

Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. The newer Cinema displays, which do have DVI, are much more expensive and I don't want to pay over $150 for a...

Hello, I am buying an old Power Mac G3 to use as a file server for my collection of vintage Macs. I would love to connect a 17 inch Apple Studio Display (Flat Panel), but the Power Mac was built before the ADC monitor connector. The first solution would be to buy a VGA to DVI adapter and then a...

I managed to find a PowerBook Video adapter on ebay for a very affordable $3 ($9 with shipping). The item came in its original 1992 Apple packaging and worked out of the box with my PowerBook 180 when I plugged it in to my PC monitor (requires another adapter). The adapter works with the...

Congratulations? If you don't mind, could you provide some instruction for me? After I plug my ethernet cable into the ethernet port on the SCSI to ethernet adapter, what do I need to do next? Is there a setting I need to change to use the high speed internet? Thanks.

I have now ruled that it is a problem with the video card. I plugged the Power Mac into my TV using the three RCA connectors, and the sound was great. The screen only showed a white box though.

It's a joke, lighten up!

A quick wash shouldn't rust the motherboard. I would go for it. Good luck!

Apologies, I misread the post and thought he had said "free shipping."

Yes, although I would say it's more of a dark brown :b&w:

I put the processor back in and now the computer has started up. Monitor still isn't working at all... So it looks like I may be exactly where I started. A Power Macintosh 8500 that will not run the monitor.

Hmm... I successfully removed the motherboard and hit the reset button (not sure if the computer needs to be on while I do that...) After putting the motherboard and daughter card back, and re-connecting all those messy wires, I turned the computer on again and it hummed to life (minus the...

I finally removed the motherboard... it took awhile, due to a VERY annoying daughter card that prevented it from moving (I hear that the daughtercard contains the processor.) I am examining the motherboard for any issues.

Thanks for all the help, guys. I will try to the reset button, and examine the motherboard for any problems.

I did not... I found this guide on apple.com, which should apply to my Power Macintosh as well. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 I unscrewed the six back screws without a problem, but had some trouble accessing the motherboard. I saw the expansion slots, but everything beyond that was...

Mr Power Macintosh 8500 has stopped functioning properly. While I was using Photoshop 6, the screen froze, and I was forced to press the shut down button to turn off the computer. When I turned the computer on again, the monitor no longer functioned. I tried plugging my Power Macintosh into a...

The member would probably like to know the price of the units you are selling, unless they are free, which would be very generous of you.

I would suggest a dual core processor. Besides, 1.8 MHz really isn't very fast ;)

Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, 145, 160, 180, 180c, 190, Duo, etc. PPC PowerBooks/iBooks/MacBooks are NOT covered in that forum.
