thought of that one and ran down to the store & grabbed a 128 stick of 168pin pc 100 goodness, but that didnt fix the problem. replaced the rev C ROM with a rev B Apple ROM. Second verse same as the first. do i need to hold a seance over its ..uh.. body?

it has been my experience (as i have tried something VERY similar) that the CD's that ship with macs arent really the same thing as buying an OS license. unless someone knows a hack around this, i'd say borrow a copy from your local users group or buy a full version on CD. he'd probably...

had some old beige g3 parts laying around and though it would be fun to build a frankenmac. thought. seems like the machine wants to boot into 9 off its internal SCSI get the happy mac and the splash screen, but it bombs after it loads the first extension saying... sorry, a system...

Is anyone out there having trouble installing the OSX drivers for their cannon scanner? PB pismo 10.2.5 & cannon N1240U cant install the driver cause it cant access a file called N067U... error code 5000 called cannon and TS said to enable ROOT cause this is a permissions problem.

not app - hardware. hook a cassette recorder to the audio out....

My situation was not related to a bad upgrade CD, but a quirkiness within the aging gossamer. HOPEFULLY you have a full version of Jaguar. the way to tell is when you chose the drive to install, click the options and select the clean install option. IF you have this option i would guess you...

The one thing i left out is that i HAD TO UNPLUG THE NETWORK, USB AND FIREWIRE in order to get it to install. (i decided to try it again JUST to test...)

yep. seems that the older machines have a bit of a rough go when trying to get 10.2 to install. here is what i did.... UNPLUG NETWORK, FIREWIRE & USB. i couldn't tell you WHY, but in the 12 times i have tried to install Jag on my beige g3 this seems to be one of the gotchas that prevented me...

damn. what a pain. i was walking a similar path and replacing all the aftermarket with the stock components. fortunately i was able to get it installed (after too many hours) after everything in the machine was back to stock. i ended up getting 10.2 working by runnning a clean install of ONLY...

...ok so it WAS a g3 266 but i have added a sonnet g4 500 zif. 640mb ram 4gb scsi with 10.1.5 and it runs perfectly... ok really damn well. in my adding and bastardizing i put in a yamaha crw f1ze, but didnt get the toast lite version to run the TATTOO feature of this drive, but understand that...

the time has come to make that old G3 266 as fast as my pismo, so i took the plunge & bought a g4 500 zif and 256mb of memory. ZIF? no problemo. MEM? well pulling all the ram and putting the new 256 stick in, system profiler says i only have 128mb installed. WHA??? 1 256 & 2 128s = 512 but...

ok. how about a hack to access the modem. seriously, i could use some help on this one.

was working on the PHP mySQL setup (way too early in the morning) and created the mysql user , gave it a password went to sleep and forgot the password. well, having had prevoius experience with a couple of flavors of unix, thought NO PROBLEM. logged in as admin and opened preferences...

is there a minimum system requirement to burn DVD's on an external firewire DVD-RW? Sure, the Quadra wont do it, but how about a PB G3 500?

Once upon a lightning storm, pry3i neglected to unplug the phoneline from his trusty powerbook and as a result of being careless, the gods saw it fit to fry his internal modem. SO... being the cheap bastard that i am, i opted not to have Apple fix yon toasty modem to the tune of 400$ and...

FOUND: yet another gotcha. if you have changed your machine name by modifying the /etc/hostconfig file and try to run the mysql_install_db with the ethernet jack unplugged, the script will bomb and tell you how much you suck (or something like that) iii

PB G3 - Osiris beige G3 - Anubis dead things. dead things. must get it from the funeral business....

yep. i did some checking and it is vim. is that useable for OSX? is there something similar for X?

I have seen a vi variant for Solaris that parses the file being edited and color codes different types of operators, et al.... does such a thing exist for usXers?

i just want a print driver for the gameboy printer.
