A real workaround for the 8GB limit on older Macs
Authored by: jamesg on Jun 07, '04 05:01:57PM

I got around this limitation on a Beige G3 by:

1. Installing a PCI ATA card (SIIG Ultra ATA, $74 from www.macsales.com)

2. Installing a larger ATA hard drive (20GB Maxtor, pull from other machine)

Very worthwhile and I have no problems whatsoever. This machine is a webserver so it's on 24/7.

I am setting up some older computer with x.2 one is a g3 desktop, a g3 all in one and a g3 server.

I am trying to install but when I get done with the first disk the system reboots into x and then I get a no sysmbol on the screen.

what can I do to get things going in x with any of these machines?
