I have a plextor dvd drive that reads and writes and i would like to connect it to my g3 in order to have two dvd drives. The one connected now only reads dvds and cds. Is there a technical info that i have to know? What is happening with the cable which is for the direct sound from the cd?

Thank you for your help olePigeon.

Incredible olePigeon. It was so easy and i didn't expect that. I have prepared my Power Macintosh G3 Minitower with lots of games but i want to play especially this. So yesterday i erased the game because i had the minimum installation and i did the full installation. It runs perfectly with the...

It worked! I just changed the name of the hard drive and the game begun.

So, can you give me a couple of links for adapters and solid state drives?

Well, i changed the power supply with spare used one and nothing happened. I do not even hear the startup sound. The machine is now at the basement. There are also some internal parts missing (like the base for the hard drive, i had the hard drive connected in the air). The good news is that i...

I have an 120gb hard drive with three partitions. The name of the one hard drive partition is MAC OS 8.1 and on the other MAC OS 9.2.2 (i installed yesterday Mac OS 9.2.2). I tried the game on both of these partitions and the same msg appears. I do not have this problem on my Imac G3 &amp...

Hello, i have a power macintosh g3 minitower equipped with iomega internal zip drive. Although i see at system profile that the system recognizes the zip drive, when i insert a disk, no msg appears on the desktop. The drive seems that it  recognizes the disk because it loads for 1-2 secs but...

It is the power macintosh g3 beige minitower. It is very difficult to find parts in Greece and generally Macintosh stuff from the 80s and 90s. 

Yes they are the plastic type. So i guess i have to cut them and replace them with new. The one seems a little difficult because it is secured on the internal chassis.

I want to replace the power supply of my powermac minitower. I have never ever changed power supply, i read the manual and it says somewhere that you have to release the cables from the tie wraps. Question is, is there a way to do that without cutting the tie wraps or i have to cut them and and...

I switch the adaptor to the off position, the powermac boots normally but i cannot see any cd on desktop. I have Dark Seed original cd inside the cd rom drive

Today I bought an ATI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition 32mb ram,  used complete with box and drivers. I will have it probably in the middle of December. The box says that it needs at least Mac OS 9. I would like to ask how is this card going to work on Mac OS 8.1. I have two partitions on my hard drive...

So, which adapter is the most economic?

Hello, i disconnected my Apple 4x scsi cd rom drive from Macintosh LC475 and i connected it on my Powerbook 540c via the Apple Powerbook HDI-30 adaptor. On my LC475 was working perfectly but on my Powerbook when i connect the adaptor and turn it on, the machine does not boot, a symbol with...
