Legacy in this case means a version of the program that will also work on the machines of those of us who still run a 9.2.2 machine or two, due to hardware/driver compatibility issues with a critical legacy function. Is there a version of the program available that will work with these 'legacy

What is Optimrize? Optim-rize? I could not find it with a Google search. Do you mean Optimize? What is the source of the program that you are referring to? Part of Mac OS or 3rd Party? If so what 3rd party and what version did you use? Click -- -- You received this message because

CPU upgrades for Beige G3 DT

2013-03-25 Thread Click
I have a 266MHz Beige G3 DT which is a workhorse for the OS 9 apps that it runs. 768Meg memory, USB, FW, and ATA133 PCI cards. Is there a ZIF cpu that I can install, perhaps from a B W, which would give me a noticeable increase in speed? Other than speed, the fit of the DT to my needs is

Has anyone here had any experience with installing a Sonnet G4 CPU 500Mhz upgrade? I have installed the Sonnet software on my current OS 9.2 and then powered down and installed a Sonnet G4 CPU in my DT Beige G3. On power up the monitor and disks come on, but no chime. The manual says

I cannot get my Beige G3 Desktop on System 9.2.2 to boot from my external FW device, even though I set up an initial 7GB OS 9 System Partition using Apple Partition Map. The Drive Setup on my Beige shows the FW device as unsupported, which I figured was true for the Drive Setup program, not

In my post I mentioned that I tried the command+option+shift+del key command on startup without result. That's the official command, according to Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/TA43845?viewlocale=en_US. The same non-response happens with option on startup. I did check to see that it would
