Re: Imac wireless
Hi. iMac G3 with a slot loading drive are Airport compatible with a bracket. I have used usb sticks under 10.3 and 10.4 successfully. Ones with a RaLink chipset are pretty good but not as good as Airport.

Re: Imac wireless
Hi all, There is a good usb option. The netgear wg111v2 works well in 10.3 and 10.4. You can get it at walmart, which makes it easy to find. It says windows only on the package but netgear has the mac os x drivers on their site and it works well. You install the driver and then restart and when you go to the network settings it will find the new ethernet adapter. It uses a netgear program to actually make the connection. I did this exact thing for my mother's G3 350 MHZ iMac on 10.3 originally. Be careful though, if at anytime you upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 you will need to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Any failure to uninstall before upgrading the driver makes it not work. I upgraded her imac and had this problem, but once I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the correct one it worked perfectly again. One thing though, the G3 imacs only have usb 1.1 so it doesn't work as fast as it could but it still more than enough for a G3.

Re: Imac wireless
Hi all, Sorry to sort of hijack, but has anyone got, or know of a source for the adapter/bracket? I've got a couple of airport cards, but wasn't aware of the bracket thingy until it was too late!

Kernel panic on eMac
I searched for a past thread for this - found nothing so - I bought an eMac 1gHz, 512 ram, super drive, wireless card, osX Tiger retail install disk, original disks and 80 gig hd. (All this for $40 so I didn't get hurt even if the computer itself tanks.) It had freezing at start up - now after removing the airport card, installing different memory - I have installed 10.2.x (the last revision). It will run fine and then without any discernible pattern - kernel panic. I have tried external dvd drives and fw hard drives - same thing. (I even unhooked the internal drives.) The kp code is the same many had trouble with power books and airport cards. So = any ideas from you all? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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: Kernel panic on eMac
Kernel panics are usually caused by failing/incompatible hardware. I've had USB bluetooth dongles, bad RAM and bad PCI cards cause kernel panics. I would try unplugging everything non essential, including internals, and put in the minimum RAM to run OSX. Try a different keyboard/mouse, sometimes third party accessories can cause kernel panics, as can poorly built USB hubs. You might try re-installing Tiger. I think the OP was meaning kernel panic code? Never heard of that happening, usually kernel panics dim the screen, and show the power icon followed by text in several languages saying something along the lines of, you need to restart your computer... Are you sure what you're experiencing kernel panics? Hope you get it working, -Elliott PS. I'm curious where you got a deal that good?

Re: G4 ram query
Hmm... As in, size-wise, or performance-wise? I would guess that if it says it's compatible with the G4 iMac, it will be. Another place to check would be Other world computing, www.macsales.com. You can browse upgrade parts by computer, and they generally have pretty good deals. That way you could be sure it'll work with your iMac. -Elliott (Formerly Cyrus) On Aug 18, 2009, at 4:13 PM, williamd wrote: Hello everyone!

RE: Kernel panic on eMac
Hi. eMacs are known for bad capacitors in later models. I had one with blown ones and one sign is unexplainable kernel panics. You seem to have done enough to narrow down the hardware.
