I found this via /. this morning: http://www.explosivelabs.com/articles/sata/ Sounds like some interestingly fast stuff. Now, seeing as how Apple was over a year behind in adopting DDR RAM, how long do you think it'll be before they include this in the Macintosh?

Seeing as how you haven't gotten any responses, combined with my own experiences getting OS X running on beige G3s this summer, I'm inclined to tell you that there is not a floppy drive hack for OS X, and that there probably isn't one forthcoming. I once saw one posted on the Apple Discussion...

I just purchased a G4 ZIF upgrade for my aging Mac, and the chip seems to be working fine. However, when I go into Apple System Profiler, it tells me that the CPU has 0K of L2 cache. Is this a symptom of something wrong, or is this just how ASP runs when you drop a G4 ZIF into this machine...

I'm looking to purchase an active cooling solution for my Beige G3 DT (it's the last thing I'll try before resorting to drastic surgery and transplanting the whole rig into an ATX case). Has anyone else installed a fan and HS into the tight confines of a G3 Desktop, and if so, what parts did...

My S.O. is a hardcore D&D player, and her favorite character is a gruff, no-nonsense female dwarven fighter named Dori. Once I obtained my Beige G3 and realized what a gruff, no-nonsense little trooper it is, I decided to name it after my g/f's char. So, her name is Dori, and she's a rare...

As a recent college... err... dropout, I'm not exactly what you'd call flush with money. I do, however, have 3/4 of a Computer Science degree, so I've bought, used, and stolen my (un)fair share of software. Like nearly everyone in today's world, I have become nearly dependent upon access to a...

My po' lil' Beige G3 scored: Typical Instructions: 274.7 MIPS (36.40 sec) Fast Integer: 583.1 MIPS (17.15 sec) That's with nothing but the Finder open (after a fresh reboot) and a ssh session running from a PC @ work... Must... get... G4... ZIF Upgrade....

I, too, am unsure as to what these number mean, but here's my results from my po' lil' Beige G3. I didn't have squat running at the time: I ssh'd into the machine from a computer @ work and ran the benchmark, so the Finder, Dock, etc. weren't even running. sign verify...

I'm upgrading my Beige G3 Desktop with a G4 ZIF upgrade, and I was wondering if any of the DIY tinkerers here know of a way that I could replace the "Power Macintosh G3" nameplate on the front of my box with one of my own design. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

OK, how about this situation: I've had a copy of 10.0 since release ($129), but until recently didn't even have a Mac to put it on. In order to use any of the productive software (Photoshop, Office, etc) I had to run out and buy 10.1 less than a month ago ($129)... now Apple wants another $129...

Let me start by making an admission: Three months ago, you couldn't get me to touch a Mac with a stick. I was a VERY hardcore PC person, MCP and everything... Then I got into a situation where I no longer owned any of my PCs (had to sell for rent $$! Ouch!). I was given a old Mac by a...

I also recently came into possession of a beige G3, and after investing merely $200 into the system, it runs OS X 10.1.5 without a single hitch. I'll tell you here what I've done, and give you come caveats: System Specs: Gossamer G3 266 MHz Revision A (swapped for Rev. B ROM), factory...
