Re: OS 9 software
Thanks for the link to Macintosh Garden, I've found some other sites too. And now my kids are fighting over a 9 year old computer. gwen On Jul 28, 2009, at 11:36 AM, Janice F.

Re: OS 9 software
let me know what else u find... i have been refurbishing old imacs for my niece's first grade class in a catholic school... so far i have done 3 for her. The kids love it.. they don't need to be connected to the internet for these educational games, they get computer skills..and are learning math, spelling, reading... any other sites would be appreciated.

Yes, but it's the daughterboard you want to replace -- the one inside that shiny perforated cage. You can replace the 233 with a 266 or 333 MHz card. There also were aftermarket third-party cards that were even faster. For example, I've got a Powerlogix daughtercard for a tray- loading iMac with an IBM PowerPC 750L (G3) 500 MHz processor. It came out of an iMac running OS X 10.3 pretty quickly.

Re: Bondi Blue HELP
you can replace the daughtercard that holds the G3 and ram, you dont replace the whole mobo get a daughtercard for any trayloader(NOT slot loaders) and it will swap out no problem (333mhz max) http://us.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?mo=auctionauction=16350652from=googlebase On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 1:00 PM, Jasiu johnschiavone...@gmail.com wrote: Can I replace the MB on the 233MHS tray loading Imac with a faster one? -- -- NOT sent from an iphone,blackberry,Nokia, or any handheld. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!!

Networking issues with G4 imac
I am suddenly and unexpectedly needing some sort of network solution and know very little about this subject. The situation is this... for some time i have had a direct ethernet connection between my cable modem and G4 imac. Recently my roommate got a pc laptop and wanted to go wireless. We purchased a Belkin N router. He uses his g card wirelessly and is very pleased. I am currently connected via ethernet as before, except now with router in the middle. I am noticing a considerable drop in performance going via the router as opposed to directly to the cable modem; enough so that when he is not home i connect the modem directly, only using the router when necessary. This slower performance (taking longer to load web pages, and slower download speeds) occurs whether or not he is connected. My first question is whether this slowdown is to be expected when wired through the router as opposed to directly to the modem? If not, any suggestions on what i can do to increase performance? Would i have better speed going wireless myself? And if so, should i go for the Airport Extreme card, or would a third-party dongle be faster? If the latter, is there one which uses the ethernet port rather than taking up a usb slot? Many thinks for any suggestions! bill --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: Networking issues with G4 imac
Well I'm not sure why this would be slowing down you connection. But wireless is always slower then ethernet. -Elliott On Jul 29, 2009, at 2:00 PM, williamd wrote: I am suddenly and unexpectedly needing some sort of network solution and know very little about this subject.

Slot loading G3 CUDA?
Where is the CUDA on a slot loading G3? How do I get to it? I have a nice 500MHz G3 that has quit starting. Same symptoms my tray loaders had when they needed a new battery and the CUDA reset. I have changed the battery in it but still dead. I can't seem to see much of anything in the little door that opens to add an airport card and change the battery. It was tricky enough changing the battery. I have a service manual for tray loaders but not slot loaders. -- Carrie www.flowerkraut.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: Bondi Blue HELP
To be honest, there's not a whole lot of performance difference between 233Mhz and 333Mhz... I would suggest maxing out the RAM for the most performance boost. -Elliott On Jul 29, 2009, at 3:39 PM, Jasiu wrote: I tried looking on Ebay but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas??
