    Awesome score. I've always wanted one of those.

    endless iMac G3 installation problems. ugh.

    I only have one drive on the bus. I removed the broken CDrom completely. Today I tried installing 9.0 with target disc mode, but that didn't work either. Last night I tried 8.5, but the G4 wouldn't even allow it. (I figured it couldn't hurt to try). Soo... 9.2.1, 9.0, and 8.5 have not worked...

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    That's alright. As long as it works. I could always make modifications to stabilize the card. Does anyone have a pic of a single-slot riser? I need to find out if it's actually shorter than a dual-slot card and by how much.

    What is the largest L2 cache I can use in a 6400? a 6116?

    No, the 6400 will have 8.6. I don't see any reason to put X on a machine with a ram ceiling lower than... I don't know... 300mb. My concern is with the actual size and amount of heat that would be generated by a G3 upgrade. If it's larger than the stock cache or requires adding an extra fan...

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    Speaking of different PCI risers, was there ever a model with a single-slot riser? And I think the modem probably was 28 or 33, I never really checked what speed it was since I don't really have a use for one.

    What is the largest L2 cache I can use in a 6400? a 6116?

    I eventually found a schematic that labeled it as a rom thing. :( I was so disappointed... ...and also found a 512k cache stick for the 6400, but the site wanted like $50 for it. 8-o My eBay searches have been unsuccessful so far.. :/

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    Usually that would make sense, but the only thing I could use from this machine is the motherboard. (if anything should ever actually happen to my good one) I guess I could always put the 8mb stick in one of the 63dozen ram slots in my 7600. I never understood why those had such a high ram...

    endless iMac G3 installation problems. ugh.

    So I doublechecked all my connections and everything seems tight. How do I know if the drive needs jumpering? Do iMacs require this? I tried jumpering it to master and booting it regularly, and also holding down option, but neither worked... I couldn't find any sole drive jumper schematics for...

    endless iMac G3 installation problems. ugh.

    Okay, I tried this today and all I got was a blue screen with an arrow pointing right and a circular arrow. Nothing else on the screen. (I could be wrong, but isn't this screen supposed to have drive icons over the arrows usually?) The right arrow does nothing, and the circular arrow just...

    What is the largest L2 cache I can use in a 6400? a 6116?

    Can the L2 cache in a 6400 be upgraded beyond 256k without a G3 card? How about the cache in a 6116? I Googled this, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Also, I noticed that there are traces on the MoBo of the 6400 for what looks like a second cache header... this is probably a...

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    So today I went back for the 6400... It cost me $25, but I really couldn't just leave it there to fend for itself. Knowing the kind of abuses that the 6116 suffered, I knew it had to be saved... and plus when I asked the woman how much ram it had, she told me 512. Knowing a 6400 tops out at...

    Wow... I didn't expect so many people on here to be so young.. This is cool though! :)

    Do you think I'll see a considerable loss/gain in speed if I switch to 9?

    It's so... odd-looking, and cute. I named it Evil Calvin because the drive icon was Calvin's angry-looking face from Calvin and Hobbes. ;D

    Yes, I've been there while looking for software for OS8 before. It's a nice little site, but their software section doesn't seem to have been updated since the site launched. :/

    il spel? okay there, guy. 1. If it serves no functional purpose, I could care less. 2. How am I supposed to get a 12 year old sticker off of the plastic in order to deliver it to one of these collectors anyway?

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    I would imagine it is. They have PS 5.5 on here also and it is considerably slower than 4. I think my current connecting options consist of something different. I believe it was something like MacTCP? and had no DHCP connection option. I will try to find a copy of TCP/IP. :)

    Performa 6116 liberated.. and today I went back for the 6400

    Yes, that worked! Thank you! :) :) Apparently it has System 7.5, 40mb ram, and Photoshop 4. I was surprised how quickly it was able to open a 1.8mb jpeg that the previous owner had left behind. (a very poorly drawn picture of Jim Morrison. haha.) Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with...
