Over the past year, due to CRT failures, I have learned how to disassemble and rebuild slot-loading iMac G3's to act as music servers. I started with a personal 500MHz model, when it died I moved to a 600MHz model many months ago, and just had to replace it with a 700Mhz model. (I've used the same RAM, airport card and 40G HD with each as my music is on externals.) Usually, this is a plug-and-play enterprise amd, all told, I'm in about $40.
This -- now working -- 700MHz model just will NOT connect to the Internet via the airport card. Well, rather, it will connect for about 20 seconds then stall: being unable to locate a single network. I have ordered a new/used airport card ($10, shipped) but wonder if there is some known 700MHz issue that could be contributing? It's using a long-working HD so software shouldn't be an issue... I can install the working 600MHz board in this CRT chassis but wanted to be sure I'm not missing something? -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
