If you can't replicate the same issue on another breadbox with that power supply, then the 60Hz signal is probably OK. Do the symptoms show up with other software? You could try replacing the 8701, sure. However, I would expect a failure there would just black-screen the entire system.

Personally, on a G3, I'd stay on at least 9.1 or 9.2.2. Mac OS 9 is better tuned for the G3 than older releases, though you're right that there's not a great deal of functional difference between it and, say, 8.6 (8.5 brought in the new nanokernel and more of the OS was PPC-native, so I wouldn't...

Welcome! What cable news shows, or are you not at liberty to say? I suspect we have many prominent folks in our ranks in their respective professions.

A nice find for $40, though I've always found the Gossamer G3s temperamental with anything *but* Mac OS.

Check your CIAs and that you have a proper 60Hz signal on the AC power supply lines. That looks like the Timer A interrupt going crazy.

Welcome. Many of us are refugees.

Congrats. A good maintainer for an essential tool!

Many have closed. I used to be a denizen of Halted in the Sunnyvale area but I think it's gone now. For the LA area, the swap meets used to be the thing, but COVID killed a number of them and the remainder mostly sell consumer electronics.

You could use the Apple ones. The PCI-based 10/100 NICs intended for PCI Power Macs have four LEDs (the Apple Network Server-specific variant has two and may not work). Those should "just work" with 7.5.2 and up.

A new release of the Incredible KIMplement, a Commodore KIM-1 emulator that runs on your Commodore 64. The KIM-1 is a 1976 single board computer with a 1MHz MOS 6502 CPU, 1K of RAM, six hex LEDs and a keypad, and was one of the first complete systems you could assemble for just a few hundred...

Welcome. I used to assist an elementary school teacher with a classroom full of CoCo 2s and a master CoCo 3. It used Tandy's "cassette network" system to distribute files. Quite a setup. My fraction trainer program was in use there for a number of years.

Image that drive NOW!

My cat did the same thing until I replaced her power supply.

I still have a 1.25GHz iMac G4 I use for watching DVDs and playing music in the kitchen, and as a security monitor (I have an old video concentrator for the security cameras). It's a 15", so the arm is still great.

Still struggling, huh? What's the most current set of errors you're getting?

My pleasure.

Is it still Lynx if we add mouse hotspots, dialogue boxes and scrollbars? I'd argue ... heck yeah! Runs on System 7.0 and up, A/UX compatible. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/01/maclynx-beta-4-now-with-scrollbars-and.html

Too bad a POWER9 doesn't count ;) (doing this from a Raptor Talos II).

Very nice restoration. Hope it sticks.

Excellent!
