I also tried to clear out the PRM before posting, no help. And I have no PRAM battery installed, I do not want them to leak on the board, and the tower do not have a battery either, and a drive formatted and installed with 9.2 in the tower that sucessfully boots, then moved to the desktop won't...

In 9.2.x, with or without the SHIFT key to disable extensions, it will crash when booting.  I did initialized the drive with Drive Setup and updated the driver as well before posting here. 

Hi all, It's been a while for me here, but still active in my man cave! Recently I got my hands on a tower beige G3, and wanted to give back my desktop beige G3 to a good house. I made sure the tower worked fine for me, and then got my hands dirty on the desktop to prepare it for resale.  So...

Sure, don't be shy! :D

I imagine it is the same boot disk for Apple II+ or IIe with the Titan card installed, is that right?

ah, I'll test it eventually then. I have only one of the two board of the Titan Upgrade and a friend that investigated problem on my III thing it could cause some issues, we're not 100% sure yet. I will order a video ROM to place into the III motherboard and test it without the IIe card...

Really? what is that then: http://apple3.org/Documents/Manuals/Titan%20III%20Plus%20IIe%20Users%20Guide.pdf I have this setup, except I'm missing one of the board.

Could be missing memory, maybe, look at the memory board and post a picture of it.  I could also be bad CAPS that needs to be replaced on the mother board. The IIe board is a separate beast. Do you have two boards for the IIe emulation or only one?

further look into that manual, and no reference to any possible PC card compatibility. 

You got it, now that I knew what to look for, I found an Apple support document here: http://www.applesolutions.com/Other/Performa_6200_6300.pdf That shows exactly that. Look into page 17 for an diagram of the tuner installed, and page 18 for a description of the empty panel. On page 21, I...

I also have a PCI card that (I think) I removed from a G4 tower. I placed it in my Performa 6360, but I'm not sure how to see if it was detected or not. Is there some kind of System Profiler application in Mac OS 9.1? Thank you

Hi there, I have a Performa 6360 perfectly working. I opened the case for some cleaning and different tests. Each time I open it I'm face to face with this little connector that goes into en empty spot on the back of the case with a trap door on the back panel where some ports could possibly...

Obviously, on the Beige G3, the controller should be 8 bits. So if I do understand you well, that means I should not need to worry at all about the termination on the other side. Is that right? I was thinking about it, and told myself, if I install any 50 pins SCSI HDD, I never had to worry...

Does that one provides the termination as well?

Oh, another fact, I have a PCI Adaptec SCSI card that came with that Beige when I got it (AHA-2940W/2940UW) but it does not look like the beige can boot from it. When I booted with Mac OS 8.5, it was not even detected, no disks mounted.

I'm all trying to figure out how to connect all of this links together! The HDD have female connectors. The adaptor you provided Uniserver, I thing it has female on one side and male on the other, is that correct? Does it has a SCSI termination included or not? that black portion on the top of...

Is it something possible to do? I have a few large HDD in an enclosure that should in theory work, but they have the wrong type of SCSI connector on them. If I could find a adapter that could bring them usable in my G3 Beige, that would be great. Thank you

I meant, I should buy one of the SCSI adaptor for SD cards... is it still available? the links on the first page points to terminated auctions...

the more I look into it, the more I thing the G3 has a problem with the IDE controllers... I move the computer on another table to have more place to investigate, and then the HDD was unable to boot on the Mac OS 8.5 partition it has. I move the HDD to my Performa 6360, and it booted on that...

I just put the card in my computer, and it was detected no issue, looks to be working just fine.  the pins on the adaptor also looks great.  There's a few jumpers on the card: - JP1: power source (default external, which make sense as I'm using the on board connector to the HDD power cable)...
