    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    AAACK!!! part 2. I ended up having to go with OS 8.1 as it appears OS 7.6.1 only recognizes 2 gig or smaller. I also decided to pull the SCSI card as there seems to be conflict issues that I'm not really wanting to troubleshoot. I do still have a 9 gig and an 18 gig 7200 RPM drives, but now...

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    AACK!!! Having to back-pedal now, install an older OS. I (obviously) intend to run ProTools as well as getting Sound Designer II back up. ProTools will have to be version 4.2 so I may have to go back all the way to OS 7.6.1. The SCSI info I was going from came out of everymac.com...

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    I think the WGS may have started with 100, but the one I have is the "speed bump" 110. There is a "technically" faster point with the Radius; the internal SCSI buss is faster than on any of the Macs of the time. This is another reason why I'm going with the Radius, I'll use the OS drive on the...

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    I'm guessing my G3 issue was a bad cache, luckily I bought 2 G3 266's in the same auction and the second card works. Unfortunately I do have the OS 9.04 upgrade issue now. I do have a flaky 8600 that I might try the upgrade tricck, but all my other machines are G4, whether stock or upgraded...

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    The SCSI card that I will eventually use is the ATTO SE IVD, but it si currently not installed. I'm pretty sure that both ProTools cards I have are the SA4 kind, but again, not installed. The RAM is maxed, and it worked fine in the WGS 8150 as well as in the Radius before I tried the G3 card...

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    I have started the upgrade, almost finished but ran into a snag. I can not get it to recognize the G3 card and when installed it will only startup with extensions off. The card is a Sonnet G3 266 1 Meg cache. I followed the directions, installed the crescendo 1.44 software, removed cache...

    Thanks for all the info. Going to spend next weekend maxing out my Radius 81.

    asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110

    I have both of these, but only enough parts to max out one of them. The positives I see: Radius has internal fast SCSI and integrated video. WGS 8150 has a tape drive, is a bit smaller, and it's a WGS. Whichever one I end up using I will also put in a Sonnet G3 266, an ATTO SE IV D SCSI card...
