Apple Mac G3 Beige Desktop

2021-07-23 Thread Barry Cross 


G3 Beige Desktop for sale in the UK, as is for spare parts. 

Its not working at all and the hard drive needs reformatting.

I live in North Wales postcode LL34 6NG. I am afraid that I can’t deliver, 
and buyer must collect.

Hi Barry,

sorry for late reply. I was very busy. I have packed the keyboard, keyboard
cable, 2 plastic HD sleds and SCSI cable that you are looking for.
The package is ready to be shipped. I am giving you the items for free but
would be happy if you could support me on shipping costs?
The cost of shipping is 22,98 EUR.

Thanks Janez

Apple Mac G3 Beige

2018-11-01 Thread Barry Cross 


I am looking for an Apple Mac G3 Beige computer, with ADB Keyboard and 
mouse.

Has to be in good nick as I don’t have any spare parts.

Ideally from someone in the United Kingdom, if from the States then they 
have to be prepared to package it. I will pay reasonable packaging and 
shipping costs.

As for your machine decision I'd recommend against the B+W or even the first G4 
of the similar design. Go for the latest which is compatible with your scanner 
software.  Here I had some experience with an Agfa scanner which original 
software compatible with OS 8 but not 9 - however they came out with a new 
software for OS 9 which completely redesigned and although very different I 
found it produced very nice results. Actually I ran it with a G3 PowerBook 
which had built in scsi and saved direct to a OS X server via built in 
Ethernet. I was just looking at the old scans again and they are great quality 
compared to the newer scanner I have now (which has an OS 9 software and also 
OS X 10.9)

No, but there's no need.  Boot into Linux using a LiveCD, and use dd to
erase the first few megabytes of the drive, where the partition table and
superblock of any previous filesystem live.

There might be Mac specific utility CDs which can do something similar with
a friendly GUI.

Re: G3 Beige

2017-11-26 Thread 'Gregg Eshelman' via Vintage Macs 
I wonder if it's possible to access the BIOS in a PC SCSI controller when it's 
installed in a Mac? If so, that would make it possible to do low level 
formatting with a Mac. Sometimes on a Mac a SCSI drive can get things fouled up 
to where it can't be formatted on a Mac. Running a low level format with a 
good, bootable, SCSI controller in a PC will wipe it clean of any soft problems.
That's also step 1 to prepare a non-Apple drive to be used on a Mac without 3rd 
party or hacked Apple utilities.Step 2 is boot with a floppy or USB stick that 
has been made from a 95b, 98, or 98SE emergency boot disk image. Run FDISK, 
select the option for large drives if it's going to be HFS Extended. Create one 
primary partion, Step 3. Reboot then FORMAT using the /Q option for a quick 
format.Step 4. Connect the drive to the Mac and boot with extensions disabled 
so no PC or DOS support loads. You'll get a prompt to erase the drive. YES, you 
want that. In a few seconds the FAT16 drive will be converted to HFS Standard, 
FAT32 will become HFS Extended.

Re: G3 Beige

2017-11-26 Thread 'Gregg Eshelman' via Vintage Macs 
Will an Adaptec SCS controller with a PC BIOS or one without a BIOS work in a 
Mac for peripherals used after booting? Or do you always need one with the Mac 
specific BIOS? Those allow booting from the SCSI controller.

 I have an Adaptec 2930 and 2940 if you need a card. As said in previous post, 
depending on system requirements of the scanner go for a B Rev2 or better yet 
a G4 if compatible.

Do you have an OS requirement as well, or will any classic OS work? The 
Graphite G4 towers are also pretty cheap these days, so if you can run 8.6 or 9 
that's also an option to put a SCSI card in.

The monitor power doesn’t go through the PSU’s electronics, but through a 
simple relay.  That’s standard for old PC PSUs with the same feature, too.  The 
relay gets switched whether there’s a load on it or not.

However it may be worth mentioning that a modern LCD monitor can be used with 
old computers like a beige G3, as long as you can get an SVGA signal across.  
New monitors tend to consume much less power in standby (when the video signal 
disappears) than old ones do.

Yes, the monitor can be plugged into a wall outlet. The reason for the monitor 
power connection is so you can leave the monitor switch on and turning on the 
computer will turn on the monitor.
Of course that only works with monitors that have a mechanical power switch so 
it turns on when connected to the AC power. Won't work with 'soft power' 
monitors. They'd still have to be turned on with their power button, and if 
it's one that loses settings when unplugged, every time you shut down you'd 
have to re-set them.
