Hi Tom,
How come your old PPC Macs run so snappy?
I have a G4-400 and I cannot get it to do pretty much anything?
Can you give me some advice on how to make these machines faster?
Another top ppc vid ( NICE)
My Powermac G5 never chimed through the external speakers?
This video has made my day ;)
There is a video where in i think it was in 2010 he had a problem where
this iMac G3 wouldn’t boot those 10.2 disks
I think your disk drive is bad Tom
Hold the ‘c’ key and it should boot from the first optical drive
The problem is the SATA card. I had the exact same issue on my G4
QuickSilver (same CPU error in the kernel panic) when copying something
from an USB drive in Tiger. To boot into Mac OS X 10.2 (which, BTW, is
Jaguar 😛 Cheetah is 10.0) you have to physically remove the card from the
G3.
As of 10.1, the boot screen is similar to OS9. Your Mac is actually
successfully booting into 10.1 and then panicking.
If you need some help write me 🙂 great video!
hi tom
tom can you add me on skype please?
Tom do a cpu upgrade
G3s looked so sweet.
This reminds me of my powermac g4 problems:(
You should install Mac OS X public beta it is soooo cool and different from
even Mac OS X 10.0
Of you hold the “c” key it should boot form the cd drive
Do Not Turn Your Mac Off Like that
Finally a power pc video :)
I’m not sure, but have you done an OS 9 video? I did a quick search and
didn’t see any, and seeing that on your HDD is intriguing. May I ask why
you have it installed? :o
i think that sata is not compatible with 10.2 and down but if u r puting it
on a ide disk that shudent matter
😀 just what i wanted
Looking foward to the next one Tom, just hope it all works out :)
Did some Googling for you, I read quite a lot about this kernal panic is
related to RAM problems, if you have time you’d better troubleshoot the RAM
too… For example, this one’s with an iBook G4:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/5700492#5700492
unplug: the OS9 and 80GB drive both power and IDE/SATA and the USB card and
the SATA card, only use your apple original USB keyboard keyboard and the
puck mouse and hope for the best (also, I believe the boot menu and the
force eject only works on PPC G4 and higher because every G3 had a button
for the optial drive) Hope this helps:)
Very nice. I have a Powermac g3 but it needs some ram. I’ll buy some soon.
Good video!
The sata controller might be fighting for an IRQ with some other PCI card
and/or the amount of hard disks is over loading the powersupply a bit and
causes some part of the computer to recieve fluctuating voltages, which
would explain why it’s screwing up so much. HDD’s use up to 4 times as much
power when they spin up.
Haha, I laughed when you thought it was booting into OS 9 at the end of the
video.
lol dual monitors are suported on os 9
My G4/Digital Audio installs Puma in a few minutes. (On the original ATA/33
bus or whatever it is.)
There is no boot menu on the Power Mac G3. It was one of the last Macs to
not have a boot menu.
The drive sizes are accurate. Before Snow Leopard OS X was like Windows in
how it measured storage. 1GB is 1000MB under the base 10 system that Snow
Leopard and up uses. Windows and older OS X use a base 8 which is 1024.
1GiB = 1024MiB. Hard drive manufacturers are actually the ones telling the
truth lol.
Boot up that 750GB hdd in Ubuntu (it doesn’t do the whole 1000kb instead of
1024kb nonsense) and see what it really gets, or just find an app for
it….that’s probably easier.
Cool,dude
Ah yes, another IMNC video! Good timing too, waiting for a Ubuntu 14.04
Final Beta download to complete while on a already bogged down internet
connection (brother has decided to download a game).
