I found this forum on the web and joined.  I searched and search, but I could not find a thread that talked about flashing.  If you see it again, could you post a link?  Thanks for the help. mraroid

OK  thanks. mraroid

My stock B&W came with a CD drive.  I have a apple branded CD of Panther.  I have a apple branded DVD of Tiger.  I ordered a replacement CD/DVD drive for the B&W, but it has not arrived yet. Well, if I can set up AppleTalk between Panther/Tiger and the Mystic running 8.1, then that...

Got it.  Thank you Trash.  Now all I need to do is find some old cards.... mraroid

Cory.... While reading up on the B&W, I come across Mac ATA controller PCI cards.  It appears that the PCI ATA cards can pass data faster the the ATA bus installed in the B&W.  But after a little searching around, I did not find any.  Is this the same story as the Sonnet PCI SATA cards...

I must be really stubborn.  Just when I am ready to give up and install two hard drives, or install OS 9 and OSX on separate partitions, I try yet again.  I keep thinking I am missing an option or something.  I have tried installing OS 9 first and always choose the extended format option.  Then...

I missed this, sorry.  I used Lido 7.56 to format a Scandisk Extream Pro 16 GB CF card: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Compact-Memory-SDCFXPS-016G-X46/dp/B00ECEVE50/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549208416&sr=8-3&keywords=sandisk+extreme+pro+cf+16gb I made 3...

I  must have missed that.  I will look again for that info.  I am unsure what "flashing" is, but will look into it. So, are you saying that cards like the Sonnet I posted the picture of (PCI cards made for older Macs) are not made any more, so one needs to flash a PC card?  Thank you for your...

In the old days, before tie wraps, people used waxed string to bundle cables.  It is now a lost art.  The more cables to lace up, the more art.  I have take old audio equipment apart and found lovely lacing of cables inside where the end user would never have see. People who did this had pride...

I can not argue with you Night.  It all makes good sense.  The main reason I am working on this B&W is to make a support Mac for my Color Classic Mystic.  I want to learn 9.22 and a early version of OSX.  It would be awkward to down load files in OSX and then somehow transfer them to...

Well, if I can't figure it out, I will do the same and load each OS onto a separate partition. It has been quite vexing.....  :-( mraroid

Hello....   I was reading about a older card from Sonnet called a Sonnet's Tempo Serial ATA PCI adapter card:   https://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_serial_ata.html   I went looking for a used one, but could not find one.   Are other companies making PCI SATA cards that I could use in my...

I can second that Cory.  I first learned about this when a buddy was trying to bring back a Windows 95 machine.  It was running some old, outdated software he needed for a old video camera.  He was advised to format under the size of the CF to make the CF last longer.  So I do not believe it is...

I may have to do that Trash.  I cannot get them to live together on the same partition.  One drive and two partitions?  Or two drives?  Thoughts? mraroid

Hello...    To recap, I have a Blue & White G3, 400Mhz, V2 motherboard and a 128 GB solid state hard drive.   At first I instilled 9.2.1 from my Apple branded CD and then updated it to 9.2.2.  Then I tried to install Jaguar (10.2.3) from my Apple branded CDs.  It would not take it.  So I...

I found links to the firmware updates for the Blue & White.  But none of the web sites can be accessed from the browsers I have on the blue & white.  So I guess I will have to pass on the updates for now, and just press on. I have the V2 board in my Blue & White.  So I hope that...

I found something called: Boot ROM Version - 1.1f4 That might be it.  I will read the links posted to find out. Thank you again. mraroid

I had another idea.  I have read that Apple issued two firmware updates to the G3 Blue & White.  One update is called 1.1 and the second one is called 1.2. Can I go into my B&W and check which firmware update is installed? Also, can anyone post a link to the firmware updates? I should...

I will report back.  I just realized that my Tiger disks are DVDs and the stock optical reader in my Blue & White is a CD reader only.  Guess I need to upgrade my optical drive. I do have two Jaguar CDs, so I will try that. Thanks to everyone for the help. mraroid

OK.  Thank you AR.  I will give that a try. mraroid
