Yeah unfortunately the closest apple store around here is a 45 minute bus ride(since I don't have a car) to the northwest side of town(I live on the south side of milwaukee). I'can't remember what speed the drive I put in was, but it is a lot faster than the stock 120GB drive that came with it...

Awesome score! I've been looking for one of those for a while now lol.

I just received my battery today, went with a 3rd party one, but it has a capacity of 3 hours and 30 minutes, which is pretty good for me. :beige:

The limit for mine is 4Gb, according to apple, But it can actually take 6Gb, according to MacTracker. It's really nice for certain games, Mainly Sim City 4 as I am a huge fan of Sim City.

Recently I started working at the same shop I got my Power Mac G3 B&W from, and my boss had a Macbook that he couldn't get to boot up. He had the restore discs for it (They were Tiger discs) and we tried several times to get it to boot from the discs, but it always said it was missing the...

ahhh, thank you for explaining. I just had never seen it, so used to the DB-25 connector.

Just a little update, I replaced the 5X DVD-ROM drive with a combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, and it completely works, even boots install discs as well.

The 2 Problems with mine are that the CD bezel is missing, and that both of the plastic clips on the back were snapped off. Some advice is to be very careful with the tabs, as they are pretty fragile and can snap off easily, also the metal shielding on the lid can easily come off as well.

Hello, I'm using TenFourFox on my G3 Power Mac (B&W) and it works great, It's a lot faster than firefox 3.6 and more responsive. Thanks Cameron :beige:

Here are some pictures of it(Sorry for the quality, I took them with my blackberry) The front view along with my Keyboard and 2 mice, It's hooked to an NEC Multisync C400 Montior A closer shot of the front The side view, I had to clean off some white marks from it rubbing against...

I was lucky when I got mine. I bought mine for $10 from a yard sale and it came with an imagewriter II, Apple 13" monitor, keyboard, mouse, 2 zip disks, and a bunch of software. It has 76MB of ram, an 8x CD-ROM, an upgraded HDD(1.2GB), and came with the adapter. It was an awesome find for me...

That's a great find, you could definitely get some use out of that machine. I say install A/UX on it. just my $0.02 :beige:

I'm actually running SETI@home now through BOINC manager, so I can take the load off of my main PC, it does say that one work load will take 117 hours though 8-o (Sorry about double posting)

Great find :approve:

The Ultimate Rez card works great under OS 9, but if you try to boot OS X with a monitor attached to it, the system will stop booting, so no support for OS X. It's a great card though, I think I'll use it for multiple monitor support in OS 9. The next thing I'm gonna try out is the SCSI card...

Nice, I'm hoping to get a sawtooth soon, as I have never had a G4 system.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna stay at 400mhz, it's nice and stable, and a lot more responsive than it was at 350mhz. Now to install sme games onto it lol

Well, I tried 450mhz and it chimed then nothing showed up on the screen, so I'm not sure what to do next, would trying 500mhz result in anything different?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't, ixmicro folded before OS X came out, so there aren't even drivers for it. I have yet to test it under OS 9, as I've just been using the ati card so far. I just overclocked the processor to 400mhz and its working just fine, so now I'm gonna try 450mhz, but I'm...

It's a rev 1 from march 1999, but the ide controller works just fine, I've got an 80GB HDD next to the original 6GB. I got it for about $7 dollars plus trading in a cell phone and an extra gamecube lol. I wouldn't know how to overclock it though, but I would be interested to try. It came with...
