Re: Selecting Startup Disk in Beige G3

Not quite true, there are certain keys you can press to tell the computer where to start from. C = Start from CD. Option = Start from available OS9 installation. X = Start from available OSX installation. I know the Option keystroke works, it forces it to boot into OS9 no matter which device you

Re: Do I really need a new processor?

If you live anywhere that there's much of a used Mac market, you can probably get a Dual 1.0 Quicksilver, or at least a Dual 800, for less than the $250 the upgrade alone costs. And you'd be able to sell or otherwise make good use of your present machine, after integrating whatever is useful in

Sawtooth to Supertooth

I have a Sawtooth 450mhz with AGP video. Is there any CPU drop-in that will take it to around 600-650mhz? I can do, but don't want to do, the extra wiring tweaks involved in retrofitting a G4 Digital Audio CPU. And I realize there's a 1.xx gig upgrade available; I don't need that extra speed fo

yes finally i got it to work and i installed the upgrade and it worked great! I heard that the upgrade card would cut back the system bus speed to 67mhz, but it didn't Thanks One more question: how do i upgrade the firmware for the system? -Jonas On 2/23/09, Kris Tilford wrote: > >

Re: Sawtooth to Supertooth

I don't understand this fascination with CPU upgrade cards, at least for old, slow Macs. Unless you can get one at a substantial discount, you'll be paying more for the upgrade card alone than you would pay for a newer, faster (don't forget bus speed!) used Mac. And, with the latter option, you

Ram is not the issue. I have tried taking the extra pc 100 chip out, and replacing it with another. On 2/23/09, Trinette Rani Johnson wrote: > > What kind of RAM exactly? It could be an issue. > > > On Feb 23, 2009, at 7:02 PM, jonas ulrich wrote: > > > > > I have a 366MHZ firewire clamshell

What exactly do you mean by Safe boot? Where the extensions are disabled? The only thing I could think is that you might have a short in the keyboard, which makes it think the shift key is being held down. You might try unplugging the keyboard (I don't know how easy it is?) Another thing you might
