Hey there, I got a G3 B/W logicboard (dunno which rev) a G4 socketed CPU (taken from a G4 Yikes) from e-waste. 1. Seems I managed to modify the G3 board to work with ATX PSUs directly. However when the board tries to boot, it beeps 4 times. Accourding to lookup tables, this seems to be a...

Regarding my case, the VPN wasn't anything public, but just the work VPN, as in "a different private IP"

The fact about 32bit/66MHz vs. 64bit/33MHz is interesting, makes sense. Would be happy if any 64bit stuff just worked in these slots – I mean what's the reason they are there. :rolleyes: Adapting to higher speed buses is another level. I remember looking at the archived OWC website – they were...

Solved! Reason: Accidentally getting on the blocklist, was fixed immediately. Thanks!

Good day, I'm wondering about the 64bit wide PCI slots in my PowerMac G3/G4 ("Yikes", "Sawtooth" etc.). I am aware that 64bit PCI predates PCI-X. But PCI-X cards are heavily backward-compatible regarding voltage, bus width, bus speed and even PCI vs. PCI-X specification. Specs claim you may...

Good day, Whatever I try (various cable ISPs or VPN), I am not able to access The Macintosh Garden anymore. Always getting a HTTP 403 error. I've seen it temporarily in the past, but now it is permanent since months. I've read that it is Macintosh Garden's method of protecting against bots …...

From my experience, the original batteries are of pretty decent quality. I would leave it inside if there is no sign of damage. I have yet to discover a third-party battery that is worth swapping in. More than often these "easy to come by" solutions are of bad quality and these tend to expand...

@OneGeekArmy I will, but probably easiest would be to a) Rather detect the ATARI OEM signature "Loader". Because PCs would use OEM signatures "MSDOS", "PCDOS", "SYSLINUX", "VGACP", "MSWIN4" or others + version numbers … plus accidents like "G8q3IHC" ("xxxxxIHC") that result in mangling by 32bit...

I really like the new version, and as already said elsewhere, thanks for keeping up support for "old" host OSes. (Keeping High Sierra around for 32bit Support and EFI experiments.) However, it still believes all of my FAT12-Floppies (MS-DOS, NT, firmwares like ARC, EISA etc.) were Atari ST. And...

Hey there, So I thought it would be time to sign up here. I work in IT, grew up with a DOS PC in the 90s and always was interested in "other kinds of computers". I preferred the open architecture of PCs, but switched to Debian Linux after 2003 and finally to Mac OS X in 2006. It was kind of a...
