Just ordered 3 spools!

Yes! I have a couple MacPro3,1 with raid cards and more than 8 drives in them... And I typically run multiboot with multiple OS's that the machine can run.

Check out this thread on what works and what did not.

Test voltages on the PSU (I can't give you guidance on how to)?

Did you clean this board? Did you do the recap? The traces near caps by the 3 big coaxials, I can't tell if that is flux residue or a scratch from the soldering iron. Near Cap C16, you can see most of the endpoints, so I assume you continuity tested most of those traces. Look at UH2 and...

I bought an Amiga 1000 in 1986, upgraded to an A2000 and eventually an A4000 with a Video Toaster. SOOOO much time spent on Deluxe Paint. I also had an Emplant card, that you could put a Mac ROM onto and emulate the MacOS 6/7 inside the Amiga OS. Eventually I got the Toaster Flyer: the...

Testing more options... OSX 10.2 install from cd looks like 2+hours... I will eventually try XPostFacto for 10.4 later. I used a CF to IDE insert directly to the motherboard on the internal hard drive bus. Since it is vertical, I can't close the case... this is just for testing. External...

Old IDE drives. They make IDE to SATA or IDE to CF or IDE to mSATA adapters... lots of choices... There are other threads here referencing which ones work well and which ones don't. Here are two threads: SSD in B&W G3 and Drive Replacement for Lombard 333

Revisit May 2025 I finally got my hands on a desktop Beige G3-233 (overpaid on eBay for local pickup, because pics showed it powered on). Since this mystery G4 ZIF was not booting in either B&W G3 I had, I wanted to test it out in an actual Beige machine. First, I installed a spare G3-350...

It is not impossible to bend the pins in the socket. Remove the card and have a look to see if any pins are bent. It could be a faulty card? Do you have any other machines (or base stations) that have a similar card?

Check the wifi card to see if one is actually installed (or reseat it if one is installed). The OS should see it automatically. What version of OS are you running right now? So it doesn't see the airport card, or can't connect to your current wifi? Some notes:

Time to invest in a 3D printer!

Since my 7100/66 was accessible, I pulled the cover and power/drives and took some photos for you.

I think the real question is, do they both sound the same... and if they were side by side, would it be in stereo?
