Funky G3 DT

[Brian Futrell]

I picked up a G3 DT 266 at the local thrift store a few weeks ago.  It 
had 128MB RAM, a 2GB hard disk (with 9.1 and 10.1 on it!), 24x CD-ROM, 
and the A/V card.

I've tried upgrading to larger hard drives and installing MacOS 9 on 
it.  Sometimes it installed, sometimes it couldn't find the hard disk.  
I then tried to start Jaguar from CD.  The grey screen with the Apple 
on it appears, the, the animation starts at the bottom of the screen.  
After a few seconds, the video becomes garbled, and the machine locked 
up.

After this, the 128MB DIMM tested bad on a memory tester (hardware, not 
software), and I tried it with a 256MB DIMM.  Same results.

Any suggestions?
