It is also worth pointing out that in some cases, Apple machines may be somewhat picky about timing, which may result in 'sad Mac' or 'stoned Mac' crashes in extreme cases, if particularly low-end memory is used (that wasn't really capable of the claimed timing, for instance). They will have to be low-profile for this design. They are interchangeable with personality cards of the same generation and slot type, if you can find them, but it likely isn't worth the effort.Īs already mentioned, almost any SDRAM DIMMs should work. Depending on the particular card, different features may be available (S-Video out, A/V input, or just audio). They are almost always installed in custom slots. That isn't an Apple sound card, but what is known as a 'personality card'. At the time, Matsushita drives were very common in Apple machines. Third-party software, like Adaptec/Roxio Toast should allow writing with most drives. Additionally, recording may not be supported by Apple-provided software, if the drive isn't deemed 'Apple-shipping'. CD/DVD writers should also be generally usable, subject to similar restrictions. Just about any CD/DVD drive should work, but may not be bootable, depending on brand and model. SCSI drives are sometimes a little different, and software like Silver Lining is needed. I can't comment on compatibility with SD adaptors, as I have never tried them with any Mac. PCI controller cards (IDE or SATA) were available to get around that size limitation. This machine could use IDE drives up to about 128 GiB, I think.

I will agree with the claims that most IDE hard disks should work with this machine, without the need for additional drivers or initialisation/formatting software. They don't need to be Apple-branded or something. The original beige desktop model works with 8.0 and up.Ħ) As long as the memory physically fits, every SDRAM module should work, given it's withing specs.

You need to use a CD driver then that works with non-branded drives.ĥ) Depends. You unmount the floppy disk, which is then ejected automatically.Ĥ) Same as 2. A Mac floppy has no eject button because of that. Due to the way the Mac works, a volume must be unmounted befor ejecting. You can either hack the HD Setup tool, or just use a third-party one.ģ) A PC floppy drive can not be used. I own this one: … patibility-cardĢ) yes, but then you can no longer use the Apple software to init the drive, since it will only work with Apple-branded drives.

You will hit compatibility issues if you're wanting to play really old games from the pre PowerPC era, many will point blank refuse to run on Mac OS 8 and above, some will fail on 9 but work on 8.0 or 8.1 etc. Your best bet would probably be to stick with Mac OS 9.2.2 unless you particularly want to play OS X era games. Plus you'd also need a decent amount of RAM, at least 512 MB minimum for OS X decent performance (256 is still doable though). There may be compatibility issues with the onboard graphics in OS X though and if you did go with OS X you wouldn't be able to use a Voodoo card. Latest official supported OS is OS X 10.2 Jaguar, but it is possible to get 10.3 Panther & 10.4 Tiger running. I have a similar spec Mac and the minimum OS it can run is Mac OS 8.0 (but not the retail disc version). Some Mac ports can be poor or lacking features when compared with their PC equivalent also. As mentioned above, sometimes games are radically different from their PC equivalent versions. There's lots of games available for the Mac, ports of games available for both Windows & DOS. For a G3, however, I recommend 8.6 or 9.1, as those are the most stable ones. Many older games refuse to work on MacOS 8 and higher.

I own one for PCI Macs and another one for my 6100, but never found the time to install them.īest OS for older Mac games is 7.5.5 (68k) or 7.6.1 (PPC). One option is a add a PC card so you can run PC games natively. It's simply a different experience playing these games on a Mac. Then there are games that are monochrome but hi-res. LucasArts games are upscaled and look quite odd, also they use QuickTime for MIDI music, which isn't the best thing either, as every version of QuickTime gives different results (newer versions tend to sound worse). Wolfenstein 3D for example (as you already meantioned it anyway) is almost a completely different game on the Mac. Now the thing is, many Mac versions are quite different to their PC counterparts. I even got a Voodoo 1 installed for games like Quake and Unreal.
