    LC and my VGA monitor

    The adapter most likely isn't working properly. Try buying one from ebay. Here's one I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-MAC-VGA-Adapter-1-178B-NEW_W0QQitemZ300159125224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

    Concerns about LC Power Supply

    The power supply is probably getting old and needs to be replaced. That would explain the "burnt fish," and Hard Disk problems. Here's a power supply from ebay for $35...

    My 40/80/160 Mb SCSI Hard disk are all dying.

    I would guess that the hard drives you are trying to plug in are incompatible with the Mac.

    I just dug out my hard drive for the LC III.

    The LC III uses a 50 pin SCSI internal connector, and a 25 pin DB-25 external SCSI connector. The LC III originally came with either an 80 MB or 160 MB Hard Disk.

    Motherboard washing !

    I had no idea that motherboards could come in contact with water. I always dust off the motherboard with a paper towel after coming across a new computer. On my LC III, there was so much dust coating the inside that I thought apple had gone with a gray motherboard... :D

    A big mistake...

I moved a few system resources from the start up folder on my G3 iBook (running OS 9,) and now the system shows a question mark each time I attempt to start it up.

    I was just wondering how well those 900mhz G3 ibooks run

    Mac OS X is supported by G3's up to 10.4 Tiger, so yes, it will run. I would advise using a previous version of Mac OS X unless you need it for some reason. The later the OS, the slower it tends to run, and we wouldn't want to stress out the older processor.

    What the heck happened???

    Could the entire operating system be deleted? Perhaps a hacker... or a very serious system error. Maybe the hard drive died... did you hear it spinning up?

    LC III

    Thank you all for the replies :b&w: The LC III was scheduled to be recycled due to its age. I believe it was previously used by the board of ed, then passed down to our middle school for use by the music department. As far as I know, it has been sitting there, unused, for years. The LC no...

    LC III

    I was very excited to discover an old LC III sitting alone in our school's basement. With the permission of one of our IT people, I took to LC III home along with the SCSI connected hard disk it came with. I plugged it in to my PC's monitor via and adapter, and to my delight, I heard the...

    Getting the PowerBook 180 online via LocalTalk Bridge

    The incompatibility can be very frustrating. I did find an adapter... I need a dial up service to connect to the internet, however.
