Hi,
I just dumped my 9500 after spending way too much time and frustration with the case design trying to figure out it's issues. I purchased a G3 Beige/266/DVD MT described as being in almost like-new working and cosmetic condition for $69. I have several Macs (8500, iMac DV+, iBook/700 Dual USB) but this is my first experience with the G3 model.
Apple's original specs say the RAM is PC66 3.3v168 pinSDRAM but I have seen RAM being sold for the G3 listed as PC100. Can someone please clarify the best latest available RAM I can use in this machine?
Furthermore, this bit of confusion is from an Apple G3 download manual:
"*Warning* Do not connect any SCSI devices to the external 68-pin SCSI-3 connector or to
the internal 50-pin SCSI-2 connector on the PCI card that supports the internal hard disk.
Connecting even one external SCSI device to the external 68-pin connector extends the
overall cable length of the SCSI bus beyond the limit for which error-free operation can be
guaranteed; the combined length of the internal cable and the external cable reduces the
reliability of all the devices connected to the Ultra Wide SCSI bus. Connecting a device to
the internal 50-pin SCSI-2 connector will cause your Ultra Wide SCSI devices to transfer
data at the slower, SCSI-2 rate."
Why are these connectors there if you can't use them? This machine must be able to support multiple drives!?
Thanks,
Mike
