While pondering what to do about my autistic Beige G3, I got to wondering ...
What is the highest level replacement mobo that will fit into a beige MT
without modification, if that should become necessary ? How would I recognize it,
in ads or auctions ?
Any beige G3 motherboard will fit in any model Beige G3: MT, DT, or AIO. There's a jumper on the mobo that needs to be moved for one or the other.
Come to think of it, how do I distinguish the ones I have, just by looking at
them. I'm a teacher, rebuild Macs as a hobby, and have (just in the G3s) 2
desktops and 3 minitowers, so this is a useful bit of knowledge. I'm always
reading of various versions of mobo and ROM, but no clear way of spotting them
has emerged.
OWC <http://www.macsales.com> has a page in their technical support section on ID'in the various G3 variants.
