I just fired up my PM 6100 and verified: In MacOS 8.6, I was able to set the colors to 16 colors or even to black and white. The sound control panel for output lets me set the sample rate, but does not offer a selection of 8 vs. 16 bit In MacOS 7.1.2, color selection is also available. The sound...

With a booted OS 9. Need to look up, which one I used... The file/archive is called mac9x-8169(100).zip Sorry, that I can't remember for sure, where I got it from. Likely from here: https://everymac.com/mac-answers/mac-os-9-classic-support-faq/mac9x-8169(100).zip which was linked here...

System Profiler does not show me infos regarding achieved link status (fields are just empty ( - ). But when I look at the link status in the web ifc of my switch, it says, that it achieved 1000M link. Looks like achieving link does not succeed on first try, but it seems, that auto...

Just to share an experience from the last days: Last year I bought a Sonnet Presto PCI-Card to upgrade one of the PCI Macs to Gigabit. Choosing a product from Sonnet, without prior verification, I suspected, that I will find drivers for MacOS9 more likely, than when I blindly chose any gigabit...

The full 2 GB memory are back in. And I could not withstand another try with the original CPU: Same result as since yesterday: With the old CPU, there is no chime, so I have to stick with the Encore upgrade and with it Sorbet (and no 10.4, nor 9.2, nor 8.6). I suspect the power supply to...

After replacing the 4 512 MB RAM modules by a different, single 512 MB DIMM let the machine run stable under Sorbet. Changing to MacOS9 had the machine stable initially as well. But right when I started Classilla, the machine froze. Back to Sorbet, I was able to run XBench and WinXP in VirtualPC...

Thanks for your hints! No open firmware tweaks necessary. At least I did not recognize any indication from the manual of the Encore G4 upgrade. I do not see any bent pins. Thanks for the hint regarding CUDA and how to use this reset button. I will be more cautious in the future. If I did...

With the original CPU, the machine does not chime and does not boot. Back with the Sonnet Encore, the machine starts, but freezes in any OS aside from 10.5.x (Sorbet) The RAM is back in to its max of 2GB. The SATA card is back in and the Sonnet Gigabit ethernet card is meanwhile back in the...

I don't know, what's going on, but after a break, I tried with the G4 upgrade in it and then I heard a chime. Plugged in one memory module and the Radeon, but still no video. But I could hear the Platinum system sounds. Luckily I had installed VNC in the MacOS9 as startup item and was able to...

My Sawtooth G4 400MHz AGP won't bootup anymore. Only yesterday, I started the machine and it started as before. Today, in (likely) same setup, it does not startup anymore. The power supply fan starts spinning. But no chime, no video. Meanwhile I removed the SCSI card, the SATA card, the...

Though my experience does not come from the MDD: Since I disabled, that the Bluetooth mouse can wake my iMac from 2007, it can sleep again. The Macbook Air M1 often needs several tries to put it to sleep. With at least the third try, it will sleep in 90% of the cases. My MDD 867 does not have...

I'd add a suggestion missing in the cubeowner overview: XFX GeForce 6200A 256MB AGP DVI/VGA/TV - Retail I bought one of these in 2008. As this is long ago, I forgot, what I had to do to have it run in the Cube or I am not sure. But AFAIR: I had to flash the card and did not have to move the VRM...
