Hi Robert, You have had problems with some upgrade cards? I have looked at the Sonnet site. There are also several processors on eBay. What should I be looking for in a G3 card? a G4 card? Will it be necessary to buy a daughter card? or do I use the existing daughter card and add a processor?
So, if I'm not going to go to OS X should I buy a G3 upgrade? Will a G4 be a better upgrade if I'm staying with 8.6 or 9.1? I use a NAT router and have so far not needed a software firewall on any of my systems. I had some bad experiences with Norton and McAfee background tools and removed them from all my systems. Not sure how it goes on a mac. The other programs are disk utilities? I have seen several SCSI drives on eBay. I just purchased a box lot of Mac stuff that included some disks and some memory along with a buch of other stuff for $10 +s/h. I'll wait until I see what's in it before I decide on what drive to buy. Thanks for the lead at Surplus Computers. I also bought two sticks of 128meg off eBay today. When that box lot shows up I'll figure out what i can use. I will try to go all the way up to 1gig of RAM. But for now I know I'll have a good 272megs to work with. I'll download that stuffit compression utility also. That should help me get that ping utility installed. Thanks for the welcome, Sean ----- >If you stay with the 204e processor it came with, use OS 8.5 or 8.6. If you >get a G3 daughter card, go with OS 9.1.
