Well the Yikes board slipped right into the B&W. I did have to scrap they keyboard and mouse because they were ADB. I noticed on the Yikes board that there was a place for the connector to go. I don't know if putting the surface mount capacitors and swapping the plug would allow ADB operations? Wonder if anyone took the time to find out way back when?
I have a USB keyboard. But it doesn't allow me to zap the pram or enter verbose mode. I haven't tried holding down the C key to see if it will boot off the CD. I have my doubts that it will. So.. It looks like I will have to buy an apple keyboard to get those features to work. Any suggestions? The old MB or Processor must have had something wrong with them. They were often giving me freezes and the multi-language page. I have been up with the Yikes board for 15 hours now without a glitch. When I get my esr meter constructed I will check out the yellow caps on the board. Who knows? The most common failure would occur when transferring files on the local network. For some reason a file over 800 meg would cause the G3 board to crash. (among other things). Thankfully that is gone now. Transfered 8 gig without a crash. I did transplant the memory and video card from the old board. Seems to be okay. Maybe the G3 processor can go into my old Beige G3 that is sitting next to it running Tiger. The yikes board and processor was cheap enough and very easy to swap. So all in all I think it was a worth while thing. Well thanks for all that contributed with Ideas. See ya on the web!
