    L2 G3 Sonnet Crescendo / ATI RAGE128 compatibility issue?

    I've personally never seen a Rage 128 without at least a heat sink. Like not even a picture of one. Sone do have tiny heat sinks with a fan, some have bigger heatsinks without etc. Maybe try to add a heatsink. Also they can behave odd. I have a rage 128 (with a fan) that only works when...

    Which Network cards Support a G4 with Leopard?

    Hey, I have a Dual 1080MHz mdd G4. By upgrading the FSB from 133 to 167MHz to get that speed, i either broke the onboard LAN Adapter or it's not compatible with the higher bus speed. So i paid 20€ for a sealed, new in box Intel Dual LAN Networking card and it ran pretty fine, great...

    My MDD has no* network connection after modding it from 133 to 167MHz Bus... I think I messed up a bit.

    I wasn't able to find the jumper settings for the 133MHz Bus... No but Seriously, the work on the CPU card seems fine, i admit it looks a bit dodgy on the Mainboard sadly... The System itself works absolutely stable though, no other issue besides network connections. I would say i probably...

    My MDD has no* network connection after modding it from 133 to 167MHz Bus... I think I messed up a bit.

    Sooo... yesterday i removed the two resistors on the cpu and mainboard that limited the Bus speed on my 867 dual MDD i got for free. I was surprised that it all went well even though i am bad at soldering and used a way too large solder iron. I even found some faster DDR1 memory in my broken...

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    So the Geforce 2MX i ordered (couldnt find another GPU for it for a reasonable price, my first ever NVIDIA card lol) arrived today and now the second G4 i got works perfectly fine. It was really the GPU that couldnt load graphics mode, just like a Text mode for open Firmware or the boot picker...

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    I already tried restting everything, PRAM battery is not necessary, i know, but it didn't made a difference. No my knowledge about open Firmware is really limited. But i will try the ram swapping again in the evening Also thanks a lot to everyone

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    The powerplug thing only occurs on the first one. The second one has a better looking psu (it looks higher quality but i dunno, i am mostly dealing with modern Hardware besides the G4s). Nope, they are both sawtooth AGP models

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    So i tried with a 400MHz G4 in thr first one and a 450mhz one aswell as a 1.4GHz Encore St card in the second one. The sonnet card loads the Black screen faster ^^ I swapped multiple ram Modules in the first one. In the second one i just left thr 512mb it came with. But i have about 12 Modules...

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    Could it be the GPU that creates the issue?

    Overclocking the Sonnet Encore ST/G4

    Does anyone want to see the resistors/jumpers for a 1.4GHz card so we can create a list?

    I need help with setting up a G4.

    So, I have now two Powermac G4 AGPs, I have a harddrive with Tiger and OS9.2.2 installed and after fiddling around... Both wont Boot. At all. The first from which i took the Hard drive and the GPU was a bit glitchy for a while and was buggy booting the OS, it only booted one time, couldnt...
