Hi Guys! So... I was able to get my hands on an "old new stock" - or "new old stock" (whichever) - black Apple Pro USB keyboard in pristine, mint condition. It still had the original shipping material/wrapper when I received it, not a single scratch on it, and has never even been touched. It...

Status Update: Typing this using Classilla on OS 9 at 1080p :D So needless to say, I finally received my Radeon 7500 Mac Edition, chucked the Rage 128 Pro, installed the Radeon, and now everything' s working like it' s supposed to! All possible resolutions appear now, in both OS 9 and OS X...

Pardon my spelling, just got out of the hospital due to kidney stones, so I'm still kinda out of it... I know that even a digital signal still uses frequencies and refresh rates (but more for legacy compatibility purposes than actuall need) so I'm hoping that a true digital connection will...

Hi Bunsen! I've tried it with both the stock drivers which came with the OS 9.x installs as well as more recent drivers which I've downloaded from a repository of ATI drivers located on a Hungarian server (http://gona.atw.hu/ATI_Mac). I can't seem to find out why it does what it does, it...

Hi There, I just wanted to see if anyone has any clue about this particular issue (not so much an issue I guess but annoying nontheless). So I've aquired this nicely loaded G4 Cube (1.8 GHz G4, 1.5 GB RAM, 120 GB HD, stock ATI Rage 128), currently running OS X Tiger (10.4.11) and OS 9.2.2 (that...

Hi Guys, Just another question, this time in regard to my Crescendo G3/500 card. I've noticed in the past couple weeks that when I perform benchmarks my CPU performance rating appears to be dropping especially if used for longer periods of time. Hard to explain, but after initial start I...

Hey Guys, Just wanted to provide a quick update regarding my USB issue. I was able to track down a compatible card (Lowend Mac had a listing of known working cards). Found a SIIG DualPort USB 1.1 card on eBay - new old stock, still packaged and all - for $7,-- ... USB is now working flawlessly...

Pulled from WikiPedia: Open Host Controller Interface, or OHCI, is an open standard. When applied to a FireWire card, OHCI means that the card supports a standard interface to the PC and can be used by the OHCI FireWire drivers that come with all modern operating systems. Because the card has...

Hey There! Yeah, I'm not quite sure either why I'm having so much trouble with that thing *laughs* ... Of course it could always be that the USB card was faulty when I purchased way back when since it had been previously used. I did actually own a Tempo Trio for a while and used it in my system...

Hey Guys, General question here. I've been using a Belkin USB 1.1 (Model: FU5005) in my 6500 based CC more or less successfully over the years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am aware that there were two models types of that card, FU5005 for PC and FU5005-MAC for Macintosh, but...

Problem is that IDE --> SCSI bridges cost an arm and a leg, figuratively speaking ... well, not really, they are freaking expensive :D ... If I were to buy one of those for any of my other Macs I would probably go all the way and throw in a CF adapter and CF card, then call it good. You...

Not sure if that would work, but you could try putting and alias of the folder you want to pop open (or in this case, the drive partition) into the startup item folder within the system folder. Like I said, not sure if that'll work, but you could try.

Hey Guys, I've read on quite a few sites that Connectix Speed Doubler is helping with general file access/write speeds, as well as providing other overall speed and performance improvements. Do you guys have any real experience with this piece of software? What is the last version compatible...

By the way, I'm using at "SYBA IDE to CF" with a "Transcend 4GB 300x" Compact Flash Card in both my 6500 based CC and my 640 Dos Compatible. It's definitively worth the consideration since it overall operates very fast and disk access and write times are super-snappy in comparison to the old...

If you are to use an internal Mini-ITX/Flex-ATX type PSU you shouldn't have a problem getting a PSU which has the potential to supply 200+ W with very high efficiency even at a low load (say if in reality the board really only requires/consumes not more than 60W). About PSU's: PSU's are not...

I have 72 MB in there right now - 2x32MB and 8 MB On-Board. I will give it a try to see if less memory will resolve this issue. It would be rather odd but it's definitively worth a try, thanks for the tip! I do think that it would be kind of sad though considering this machine could run with up...

Hey Bunsen, I've tried booting the system with just the sonnet extension enabled, but unfortunately with the same results. Right now I have OS 9 installed, but I may actually try OS 8 or System 7 to outrule a software conflict. The onboard video isn't really that terrible when using the G3...

I do indeed have the HPV Video Adapter from an 8100 Mac (it has 2MB soldered onboard and the capability to be expanded to 4MB). Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite right. When plugged into the crescendo I get hard lockups either on boot, sometimes it loads the system then locks up, quite random...

Not sure if this is related, but when modding the Colour Classic to fit a PPC board in it, you have sever one of the wires on the floppy cable to prevent the new PPC board from reading the floppy drive continously - if that pin is left connected, the floppy drive will infinitely "eject" no...

Hey Guys! I figured I might as well list my recent Mac conquests (thanks Slowpoke)! 1.) Power Macintosh 6100/66: I like the low profile "pizzaboxen" design of this first generation PPC. It's definitively an interesting design. I was able to find an angle adapter and a 4MB Apple HPV card from...
