I use my Power Mac 8500 with a 300Mhz G3 Upgrade to transfer my tapes, it works quite well with what I've thrown at it so far. I will agree that you need to have a large hard drive to transfer anything longer than 5 minutes, as the sizes greatly expand as the video gets longer.

That is just too awesome to put into words!! Thank you for posting a video about it.

This is absolutely amazing, I might have to pull my B&W out of the basement if this becomes a sure thing. Keep up the great work doug. :) Also, that is a very interesting reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Well I wound up taking it apart, and my suspicions were correct, the inner casing was brittle and cracked. I got the screen focus fixed, and I reinforced the cracks with some super glue before putting it back together.

I need to open my recently acquired iMac G3 DV to adjust the focus on the screen and upgrade the HDD. I can kinda tell that the plastics are brittle, and was wondering if there is a safe way to open it up without breaking the tabs that hold the chassis together. I've worked with other compacts...

About 2 years ago, I was bidding on an overclocked QS for about $36 dollars, placed my bid at 10 seconds, and then got sniped right after. Also about 8 years ago, there was this trailer about 10 blocks from my old house that had about 100 macs in it. All I grabbed was the LC III I have now...

The only thing I ever got New Old Stock was The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime. That is awesome, I just got an iMac DV Indigo last week, they are just such cool machines.

That's a great haul, I kinda want to get a II series machine now (maybe a IIci or a IIsi) and mess with some PDS cards. :ii:

I was really shocked when I walked in there, I had never even seen a Flower power or Blue Dalmatian Imac in person before, They are the oddest computers I've ever seen. I didn't know the flower power iMacs had a pink apple logo though. I'm thinking about adding an Airport extreme card to the...

So recently I met this guy through my work that up until two years ago, was exclusively a mac repair specialist. I started talking to him and he took me to one of his storage units and let me have a look around. I wound up bringing two macs home. I'm certain I'm gonna go back there, as he has...

That's odd, because my Radeon 7000 works just fine in my 8500/180, It should work in a Power Mac G3. Have you tried it in a different PCI Slot, as the first one is a 66Mhz slot and may be incompatible with the 7000.

I've thought the same thing, I wanted to replace the hard drive that died in my color classic. I went on ebay, searched for an 80Mb Quantum, and the cheapest I found was $46 dollars + $13 dollars shipping. Seems like quite a bit for a 80Mb SCSI drive.

If you need to find drivers for a hackintosh, I would try the Insanelymac forums, they have a lot of custom drivers for quite a few things that have no support under vanilla OS X. Granted I gave up on Hackintosh around mid 2009, and haven't looked back since, but it was interesting to see...

That would be great, then I could change the Startup sound on my 6100 to something a little better (like the 5200 sound) or even something like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That video is just too awesome, I've got a quick question. I've noticed that the 2 Nubus Power Macs I have (6100 and 7100) have removable ROM DIMMS, would it be possible to do a similar hack to change their startup sounds? I don't know if there is any documentation on the later machines, but...

An 8500 with a Sonnet upgrade makes it such a great system, and it can still run BeOS and other OS just fine. Classilla on my 8500 runs really great. :beige:

I've got an 8500/180, and it's a great machine. Mine came upgraded with a Sonnet Crescendo G3/300Mhz and 2 Hard drives. They make great classic file servers, mine now has 3 HDDs and is hooked up as a localtalk server. The A/V ports are standard, they are usually used for recording from VHS or...

Nice finds, really makes me wish I hadn't moved out of oregon, so much stuff to find.

I was reading up on overclocking my LC III (using this guide here), and was wondering if it's worth it to do this modification to it. I'm thinking about installing OS 8.1 on it and figured that the speed boost might help it a bit. It has 36MB of RAM installed and a 1.2GB SCSI drive. So what...

Congrats Byrd
