So back in the day when I got my collection of college macs, I got several 733MHz Quicksilvers and several 400MHz gigabit models. The GBs all had Gigadesigns 800MHz upgrades with 2MB cache. Now I am going from memory but I recall swapping the upgrade CPU from a working GB to a working QS but...

Tonight I started working on the Genesis that I got as spares for the first one I bought. After putting a fresh PRAM battery in I got it to start and output video to the display. The hang up happens at the low res white/grey background with the mouse cursor. This is as far as the machine gets...

I have looked at every resource for old macs that I can find.  They all say this machine came with 2x 9GB SCSI drives and corresponding card.  But no one says WHICH card it came with.  Can anyone shed any light on this for me?  I have a handful of 9GB LVD drives but their pinouts is different...

Topic pretty much explains it all.  I have an 8600/250 I am trying to get up and running in my quest for the towers of power.  I get boot chime, everything seems to spin up, there is a switch on display as if it got a signal saying 'prepare for input!' and then it goes back to sleep mode...

Hey, everyone. Now that I have my G3 operational I want to get some faster storage in there. The G3MT came with an Adaptec 29160 card installed that I put back in. I have some 9.1GB u160 LVD drives from a Dell Poweredge and wondered if these are about as good as it will get short of trying to...

Some of you have been following my trials towards a beige holy grail machine for classic gaming. While hemming and hawing over $50 used 9200s and two in box unopened 9200s going for $100/each I found a used one for $24.99 shipped. I talked myself into buy-it-now and she was on her way. I was...

Does anyone know what power supplies Daystar equipped their Genesis line with? I would assume it would be the same as a 9500 but I also know some of the clone makers stuck to off the shelf ATX parts for many things. Thanks!

Hi, everyone. Now that I have the entirety of my beige collection home with me, I am going through and trying to get functional machines up and running.  Currently I am working on my two beige G3MTs.  One is a 300MHz machine with max RAM, an Ultimate Rez, and an ATI video card that I cannot ID...

I've been after this thing for over a decade. I'm glad to have it but boy am I pissed at UPS! I'm guessing that finding someone willing to part with the top two bezels is going to be even more hard than finding the tower in the first place. But if any of you have any leads or would be willing...

In my Quest for Towers... I acquired a beige G3 server to compliment my 9600s. I found it through LEM swap for a great deal. G3 Server, 333MHz processor, 512MB RAM, DVDR drive from a G5, SCSI card&drives (still need to verify size). This machine will possibly become the we server for my...

Instead of adding to my conquest thread, I figured I would start a new thread for my question. One of the tasks I'm hoping to use one of my 9600s for is converting my fiancé's old camcorder videos to digital. Most of them are from before her father passed away and she has expressed interest in...

I've seen photoshop 5.5 available with media but is this the best version for Ppc with my setup?

Some of you may have seen my WTB inquiries for a top end 9600 and Daystar Genesis this last week or so... Well, as I began reading and searching for a machine, including several feelers on here... I got it into my head that maybe I would scratch build from components a 9600/350. What made this...

Hello all, I figured I'd throw my first post on the boards down as a conquest. Here's what I got: 3 beige G3 300MHz MTs with the A/V personality cards 1 beige G3 300MHz DT with A/V + DVD card 1 8600 250MHz (has zero memory) 4 7300s 2 Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 20" CRTs 1 " "...
