I would like to know the answer to this as well...... mraroid

I am guessing that you tried to boot to a boot floppy? Rsolberg has a great idea about trying to boot to a good board.  But if you do not have one, that is an expensive test.  I also suggest you slide out the 575 board and photograph the front and back then post the photos here.  Also, if you...

I would like to know the answer to this question as well. mraroid

Bump.  No one knows?  My B&W can boot to a early OSX, but not directly to 9.22.  Is a card even made to do this? mraroid

Thanks all for the information. Can it only boot to a early version of OSX, or can it also boot to 9.2.2? mraroid

So Waynestewart....  It souds like that G3 1.1Ghz cpu is just going to waster sitting in your

But can you boot from this card?

It might be hard to find radio shack stores any more.  When part numbers are referenced in your post? Are they part numbers supplied by a vendor or a part numbers from a specific manufacture?   I  have found that the huge mail order electronics supply house called Mouser had all the capacitors...

I am also a big fan of Arctic Cooling, now upgraded to MX4.  I have used it in rebuilding laptops, Macs and PCs.  For novice users, the big problem is that they use far too much.  Follow the directions!  Thank you for the post Bunsen.   mraroid

What version of Windows are you running on your PC?  What software are you running on your PC that lets you use Apple Talk on your Classic?  This sounds like a good idea if it will work properly. mraroid

Why?  Because it cuts my time down more then half. I installed OS9 over 10 times when I was rebuilding the B&W.  The stock CD optical drive took 21 minutes to install it.  When I used the older CD/DVD apple drive I just bought, it took 9 minutes.  And this older drive is quite a bit slower...

Got it.  Thanks again Gorgonops. mraroid

You have given me many things to think about and try Gorgonops.  Thank you. What I was thinking about, but did not clearly say, was that I wondered if a Apple branded SATA CD/DVD burner optical drive was around that would drop into my B&W, plug into my SATA card and work?  Are you saying...

Folks....   I *finally* have a working DVD drive in my B&W.  And I have *finally* updated to Tiger.  I am running a G4 Yikes! logic board @ 500Mhz.  Tiger is installed, as well as the apple updates. I have yet to install OS 9.22.   What I am looking for now, are recommendations for a browser...

All.....   I finally have a CD/DVD working in my B&W.    The first thing I did was look in my computer parts/junk box.  I found a windows SATA Blu-ray CD/DVD burner.  I have a PCI SATA card in my Blue & White, so I plugged the SATA optical drive in, put in my DVD of Tiger, held down the...

Gorgonops and all.... You have given me an idea.  I have a SATA card in my B&W.  Could I buy an inexpensive SATA Windows CD/DVD burner and plug it into my SATA card and have a  chance of it working? I have 4 ports on my SATA card.  I am using one of the ports for my hard drive. Thoughts...

OK.  I think I got it.  I picked the first one on the list I posted.  It is the oldest of the three with a date of 2001.  I have never used iTunes, but might in the future. Re the ribbon cable feeding the optical and (missing) Zip drive.  I can use eithe of the two connectors on the ribbon...

I did receive this replay from a ebay seller saying: ******************************* I have one of these in a Blue and White G3 running 10.2, 10.3 AND 10.4 (partitioned drive) and it works fine; I did not add any drivers but I did run all of the software updates (which no longer can...

Thank you for helping me.  What I have now is the stock CD drive that came with the B&W and it works perfect.  No issues. I used it to install a CD of Panther. I have a DVD of Tiger and I want to install it.  So I want to upgrade to a CD/DVD burner.  I do not know about comparability issues...

I was looking for internal Apple branded CD/DVD drives that are PATA/IDE/EIDE drives (I think that is what I want).   Again, I want to install a drive and not have to deal with any drivers or patch my stock system (if possible).  I want a plug and play drive that I can plug in, and have it read...
