Will Beige G3 SCSI card and drive work in a BW G3?

My wife's G3Tower died with data on the scsi hd. I've picked up a bw G3 (which on the serial # tag states Ultra2 SCSI), but no scsi drive is inside, nor is there a scsi card.
Can I take the SCSI card and drive out of the Beige Tower and put it in to the BW G3? Is anything special needed to be able to get the needed files off the disk?
I later plan to upgrade to Jaguar (I've got the disks), but the files come first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps - I looked through Apple's faqs and kb, but didn't really find anything.
Regards,
Den

"Can I take the SCSI card and drive out of the Beige Tower and put it in to the BW G3? Is anything special needed to be able to get the needed files off the disk?"
You can do that, but bootability will be a problem because the B&W G3 is based on the New World architecture or ROM-in-RAM. While the beige G3's ROM was wholly contained in the ROM card, some of the B&W's ROM code is contained in the Mac OS ROM file, which is written to the System Folder during the OS installation. The OS installation performed on the beige G3 won't have the necessary Mac OS ROM file. The file could be extracted from the installer tome on the Mac OS 9.x installer CD, but that would require the use of TomeViewer (downloadable utility). Do you have another working Mac in the house? Incidentally, what component in the beige G3 failed?

There is a SD card size limit for Palm Devices.
What is the smallest size you have tried?

Please visit this linked thread. I have updated the link contained in the first post to the Palm Powerups site where there is a utility available which allows the use of larger capacity SDHC cards in Palm OS devices.

Will a Maxtor DiamondMax 11 SATA drive work in a G4?

I'm torn between a couple of Maxtor internal drives to add to my G4 (Mirrored Doors) and for the sake of futureproofing I thought I'd better go for the DiamondMax 11 Drive (500GB) which looks to be very good.
However I'm having a lot of problems trying to find if there will be any compatability issues with my G4.
Can anyone help?

Hi, Mark -
Both of the internal hard drive buses on a G4 (MDD) model are ATA. An SATA drive will not work on them.
However, you can add an SATA PCI controller card, and connect the SATA drive to it.

Will Serial ATA or SATA Hard Drives work in a Powerbook G4?

I have a 15" Powerbook G4, 867MHz, and I'm looking to buy a new internal Hard Drive. After a few searches, it appears I need a 2.5" HD, but I don't know much about hardware so I'm hoping someone can clarify for me:
Will a Serial ATA or SATA HD work or do I need to find an ATA-100 or older drive?
Is there a maximum RPM or size capacity that will work with my Powerbook G4?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. For anyone else looking at this thread, I was also told at fries that PATA (Parallel ATA) is the new name for ATA/IDE Hard Drives. I just installed a Western Digital 2.5" 250GB PATA drive and haven't had any problems so far. Actually, when I updated from 10.5 to 10.5.8 and restarted, I was stopped at the gray screen with the prohibitory sign (circle with a line through it), but this could be unrelated. After powering off and rebooting, everything booted fine, so I'm assuming things are ok at this point.

If I create a restore point will I have the old sound driver working

I got this notice:
"Dear Customer,
You can enjoy improved sound when you use an updated sound driver on the pre-installed sound system
on your notebook.
To install the updated sound driver follow the steps below:
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel Home view, click Uninstall a program
3. Select Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and uninstall the driver by following the instructions on
the screen.
4. Download the updated driver from the Toshiba website
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/sound-20080305155003.zip
5. Unpack the downloaded driver.
6. Change to the driver folder and double click the Setup.exe to start the installation.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen."
May I ask
If I create a restore point before ding this, if it all goes wrong will I be able to system restore and have the old sound driver working?
Is the driver folder found in Device Manager and Sound, Video and Game Controllers?
Many thanks.
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes, if you would create the restore point before you will perform the driver installation then you will be able to restore the system to the early time point and you will get the old sound driver back on you system.
I think this is a good idea to create the restore point.
Bye

Is GPIB-USB-B compatible GPIB card? if yes, which card and driver?

I have my codes written while I was using GPIB-USB-B to communicate with HP-4145 from my PC win-XP.
Now I want to use a GPIB card rather than the USB version.
1- Can I use a GPIB card without changing my codes?
2- if yes, then which GPIB card( and which driver) should I use?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

does any one know the proper location to use firmware upgrade for GPIB-USB-B
$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5
------ result from exe command line ---
[root@gb095 ni_gpib_usb_b]# fxload -D /proc/bus/usb/003/001 -I niusbb_firmware.hex -s niusbb_loader.hex
can't modify CPUCS: Broken pipe
README FILE CONTENTS
The firmware files can be uploaded to your NI GPIB-USB-B adapter
using fxload. Example:
fxload -D /proc/bus/usb/001/002 -I niusbb_firmware.hex -s niusbb_loader.hex
If you wish for the firmware to be automatically loaded through hotplug,
copy the firmware files to the /usr/share/usb/ni_usb_gpib/ directory
(or wherever the /etc/hotplug/usb/ni_usb_gpib script expects to find them).
Thanks go to Michael Ritzert for figuring out how to extract the firmware
from a usb sniff log. The log that was used is included
(file name is "ni-usb-b-initialization-log.txt"), as well as the perl
script for creating the hex file ("firmware_extract.pl").
what i have to do is upgrade these cards to latest firmware to see if the work with this level kernel
$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

Will my Norton "Manage Cards and Log-ins" ever return to the tool bar?

When I downloaded Firefox 4 (which I really like, by the way) my ability to manage credit cards and log-ins through my Norton account disappeared from the tool bar never to return. Consequently, if I want to shop, I go to another browser where my Norton buttons appear on the tool bar. I thought I heard a "fix" for this would be coming sometime...but that's only rumor. Can you help me get my Norton Card/Log-in buttons back on my toolbar and working?

Norton did a poor job on their updates for their Firefox extensions for Firefox 4.0, the Firefox 4.0.1 security update made them incompatible all over again. ''Rookie mistake with the way Norton coded their extensions with a very restrictive maxVersion.''

Do you think I be fine with one of the above and a

Will Time Capsule Wi-Fi hard drive work with AT&T modem and Wi-Fi Router

Just ordered a new iMac which will be delivered in a few days. I received the Time Capsule and Wi-Fi hard drive today and wonder if the AT&T modem and Wi-Fi will work together or if I need a new modem without the Wi-Fi?
Darryl

It will be fine.. just bridge the Time Capsule and plug it in..
Mostly wireless will sort itself out.. but you can do specific setup where either TC reinforces the current wireless. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260 The instructions are fine for non-apple plus apple combo.
Or just turn wireless off in the TC.
wifi hard disk?? Why do you need this.. as TC is a wifi hard disk??

Replacement wired network card and driver for G4/OSX 10.3.9???

Does anyone know of a wired network card that will work in a Mac (with or without a driver) when the one on the mother board is not longer functioning? It seems that my built-in Ethernet card was fried in a recent electrical storm and I'm looking for a replacement so I can connect to the internet again. My cable internet modem and cables were replaced after the storm and have been determined to be in working order.
No theories, please -- I'm looking for a proven solution.

Hi
I found the Kingston KNE100TX (NB not KNE110TX) to be satisfactory in my B&W G3.
Drivers required and available from Kingston up to OS9. No drivers required for OSX. See
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/osx_networkcards.html#kingston
(There are other reports in this linked page but my experience is with the KNE100TX)
Best wishes

Family sharing (do we have to share the same credit card and sharing working for everyone?

I was wondering if family sharing was working for anyone else? I set it up and the way I believe you access another family members purchases is by going to your purchase history either in itunes or in the app store. From there you can pick your purchases or another family members purchases but when I do this I only see my purchases. Am I doing this wrong or is it not working.
Also is there a way we all don't have to use the same credit card?
Thank You,
Laura

Am I correct in my first post regarding how you are suppose to access someone else's purchases? it doesn't seem to be working for me I added the other person and see accepted and when I go to family share she is there but I can't find her purchases

Will the fire wire western digital drive work on a new imac

I am now using 3 3 WD My Book Studio FireWire External Hard Drives on my older iMac. I am thinking of getting a new iMac and see that they do not have a firewire plug. Is there a way to use these drives with a new iMac?

My configuration is:
>>> is a Thunderbolt cable connection
---> is a FW800 cable connection
Thunderbolt on iMac >>> Thunderbolt Drive 1 >>> Thunderbolt Drive 2 >>> Apple Thunderbolt to FW800 adapter ---> Nitro 8-Port FW800 Hub ---> 3 FW800 drives (I don't like chaining FW drives thus the hub).
The above configuration works like a champ. No problems at all.
