Alright! So I got my Beige G3 Desktop up and running. Got it connected to the internet, loaded Classilla, found my old QuickTime Pro S/N, and have begun installing all the apps I wanted to make this a near perfect publishing/bridge machine. I also installed USB and FireWire PCI Cards salvaged from another Beige G3 (although that one was a tower). However, the USB card isn't recognizing a Flash Drive when inserted. I haven't tried the FireWire yet. My guess is that this is a driver issue.
The cards are being recognized in Apple System Profiler (ASP to save on typing), but that's it.
The USB is a pci 1045,c861 (rev. 1045) and the Firewire is a pci 106b,1a (rev. 104C) according to the ASP.
Any idea where I can get the software to make these work? Or is there some other issue I'm not aware of?
Also, what are the part numbers for G3 Processor cards? Where do I find them on the Card itself? How do I know what the max clock is? And what risks are there in overclocking?
I have two Motherboards and thus two CPU cards. I tried swapping, but saw no improvement in clock speeds in the ASP. I've since learned that I need to alter the configuration jumpers to do that, but don't want to risk it until I know what cards I have and what they were designed/intended to run at.
