Eh. I am just trying to understand and liking it too. I hope you are successful in cloning the card,

??? I don't quite get it.

I don't think that the hardware inside a G3 would allow USB-3. Maybe if you hacked into the airport card slot or the 2 minnanzanee slots on the iMac G3. But I don't know if it's even feasible. I don't mean to be a party pooper. If it is possible, I would love to see it done.

I am glad you already checked everything I would check. I was just wondering about the ext. video and audio, because what if it is a chip. But the processing is probably handled by the same chip for ext. video as well as audio...

I hope you don't take me for a capacitor replacement fanatic. I was just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 3. I hope you don't think I am like that!

Also once you keep it plugged in for a while feel everything before turning it on to see if it is hot, (if it is torn apart) that might be able to tell you if something is different because of heat.

Do you get any sound or video out externally. (I am not acquainted with these machines so I don't know if they have ext. video or headphones. I also didn't realize you could get a wrong reading from a capacitor like a battery.

I didn't mean to say that the capacitors were the problem, I was just telling you what I heard from other people about the older PowerBooks. If you don't think they would do anything I wouldn't want you to do it. If you are going to buy capacitors just because, I would suggest taking the...

Capacitors most likely. I have heard that if you leave a PowerBook 1xx series plugged in for a couple of hours that the capacitors that have leaked will have enough power to work a little. Not certain, but most likely.

Thanks for the warning everyone! I will steer way way away!

I got a iMac G3 today and went to power it on as a test, and I heard a crinkling noise coming from the inside and there was no startup chime. Which was not unexpected considering the person I bought it from said that it didn't work. Research indicates either the PSU or the Flyback transformer is...

Is that the schematic for the PCB you are building?

Seems to work! Amazing job @eric! Thanks so much again!

Okay, I saw that you added the multi file support to What the SIT! I am testing that right now. I will report back to success or failure!

Sweet! I have no idea...
