I don't know how long I can take this- help me please!!!

Are you just doing it "because you can"?
You don't really expect good performance, right?

Well... he could clock any Beige at 300. And I'm running it now on a Pismo at 400, without tons of difference between it and my 1.42 Mini - for surfing and email.
So it is certainly possible (drive speeds would suck without an ATA card....)
What ROM card do you have in this machine?? I never got mine to load - but I've never tried XPostoFacto whatever on the Rev A rom.
I think I most certainly do have some 128s around.... but gee, they were going to make such nice ornaments.....

Yeah pretty much. On the other one I have 768MB RAM so I know what the difference will be like, and I think it would be worth a few bucks (just a couple) to get it going.
I do have a legitimate use for these computers, so it's not just crazy experimentation, now that I know it will work.

I've actually got a 400MHz G3 in there with 1MB L2 cache which helps a lot.
Drive speeds do suck, tops out at 16.7MB/sec.
I know I have rev B or C ROMs in both as I had multiple drives on each bus before when I ran OS 9.
If you want ornaments I can trade you. How about some 30-pin SIMMS?!

I've got a stick that came of of my B&W G3 but not sure what size it is. My machine has three 256 and one 128 in it now. PC100

Yeah, I'm thinking it's a 64.

I'm getting pretty close to retiring this machine, then I'll have a few sticks ....
