Get rid of the DOS card if installed, get another pram battery from a
different source, maybe a video PDS card, about 10 or 20 bucks and
allows the connection of a monitor, you can run 2 if you want, this

there. The
It probably is a heat problem - it definately lasts longer with the DOS
card removed. I've got a small fan that I might mount in there to

I have a G3 upgrade card in my 6100, which with the card being
vertical and the heatsync being some strange shape and size, it is

Its driving me nuts, because I rather liked the idea of having an (old) PC

up in the top corner and no reset other than power it down, power it
up or use reset in the back...
Anyway, this was when I was still in Junior high... so I took it to
