After 2 days of blood and sweat I finally got os X.1.5 installed on my g3 beige tower mac (thats an old one, for those outta the loop). I also threw in a radeon 7000 and a bigger hd, Now I just wish the osx.2 upgrade would install but I have had no luck with it and I still need to get a copy of os 9.1 or higher for classic support. Another thing that bytes is epson doesn't have a driver for os x yet for my printer and my not make one, since its an older printer, a styles photo 700. But all in all I feel good about my set up

Yeah, but more importantly did you get D2X to work?

Nice work there Knightsword!
I recently upgraded to a newer Mac 'cause my old Power Computing PowerBase 240 died on me after many years or good service. The old towers are pretty big! Lots of room for stuff.
I used to own an Epson Color 2 printer that also held up really well... that is until they stopped making the ink carts for it! Which I found out recently when I ran out and went on a whole town search for one. Nope. No where. I had to order one online and then he whole printer decided to call it quits, just like the computer a few days earlier. So, I bought an HP printer combo thing that I really love. Now I can ditch all of my old SCSI stuff (that weighs a ton) and move on over to USB land like the rest of the world.
How big is your monitor? I don't know nothing 'bout video cards... does the Radeon allow a 21" to run in millions? Just curious.
I have been running OSX fo a long time now and I love it. Rarely crashes and if a program does decide to freak out it doesn't take down the entire computer. Hey! It's a new feature for us Mac guys! hehe.
Have fun with your "new" set up!

I have a 20inch monitor and the card does allow it to run millions of colors. I do have some bad start ups but hopefully they will go away since I reinstalled everything again yesterday and it seem to work before I left for work. So hopfully when I get home tonight everything will working.

Well, it appears the hd partition with os x doesn't want to be found at all. So I think, after I get my os 9 disk, I'm gonna have to reformat the entire hd, I'm gonna try to reinstall os x tonight and hopfully that will work other wise wwhhaaaa


On a side note, I had to get a new copy of Diablo 2, I got it installed and running, on the os 8.6 partition. I still need to log on to battlenet and down load the update patch. So Crush I hope that answers your question.

Im in limbo at the moment, stuck on and old CRT G3 iMac running OS 9...
Im waiting till next year when Im gonna get a laptop for Uni.. want a powerbook.. but i guess an iBook will do. lol. Eitherway Ill be using OS X Jaguar ^^. Of course, depending on the course Im doing I might need to run Windows software.. *has a childish tantrum at the prospect*
