PS the video card looks interesting too....

Hello all, I am considering picking up (yet another) IIci but I have only some pics to verify its condition. Board looks clean enough (no battery bomb) probably "just" cap juice. The price is really good, but it's a 2 hr roundtrip drive so I'm a little uncertain. That being said I wonder if...

@Kamshaft you will never get the lid closed. Get a small radial fan and place it bedside the heatsink somewhere on the MB. so that it blows air on the fins from the output duct. You can keep it still with four little blobs of Blu Tack. That's what I did

The easiest hassle free way is a usb zip drive on your modern machine and scsi Zip drive on you old one. Or CDR’s which is cheaper but a little less direct. I am also using with success PISCSI which has a built in file server that can be accessed both from a modern Mac and a legacy machine...

Ok Beige Success! With Mach Speed Control, and a tiny overclock to G4@433 mhz these are my benchmarks. I have the Radeon 7000 installed with the stock is 9.2.2 drivers and the graphics performance is pretty amazing. Don’t know what more the ati drivers can bring to the table , probably faster...

Ok ill try that, now if there was only a way to get the setup working with an ATI Radeon 7000 in the mix thanks

OS 9.2.2 i think i need powerlogix CPU Director... i've done some reading... set to 2:1 interleave...

I just did the same thing on my beige G3 and... while the CPU did work, the cache was disabled. I tried installing the sonnet drivers but nothing. Thing is... the G4 400 mhz with no cache is 50% slower in cpu Benchmarks than a G3 300 with cache... so not much of an upgrade if you can't get the...

Hi, sorry a bit OT, do you know if there’s a way to activate the L2 cache on a beige G3 that has a Yikes! G4 400 installed? I Tried with the sonnet drivers to no avail, and the G4 400 with no cache benchmarks 50% slower than the G3 300 with cache enabled. Thanks!

Unfortunately Noctua does not make a fan that fits the pizza box Macs. But there is a 3d printable frame that allows you to put a smaller quieter Noctua fan in the case, with similar CFM https://www.printables.com/model/79224-apple-macintosh-lc-series-40mm-fan-adapter

Thanks buddy. I’ll keep that in mind for the future.

Waddya know.. left it turned off for 30 minutes without battery and it boots fine… maybe it’s a thermal issue… I’m running the board outside the case .. with a fan blowing on the cpu card… maybe it’s not enough to keep other components from overheating …. Or maybe I’m just unlucky!

Hello all, need some help. My power Macintosh 8500 is no longer booting. It literally stopped working in front of my eyes. It was running the OS and froze. I powered off and on , and now after the chime I’m stuck at the grey screen with moving mouse pointer. (Tried everything to make it go pram...

Did it work? I have the exact opposite problem on a high density drive. The motor does not eject , but works perfectly on another drive !
