    You know, somebody should........

    There is zero supply of G4 Zif CPU's for sale, yet there seems to be a good cheap supply of G3 Zif 750's and BGA 7410's. @LightBulbFun @herd One of you guys should look into reworking these for us ZIF folks.

    Unsupported eMac - any way to get OS 9 to show in OS X startup disk selector?

    Elliot outdid himself with the hack to enable booting from disks without OS 9 drivers. The reason for it was to allow OS 9 booting for people who did not want to format their drive. He fixed a bug in my hacked ATI drivers to, so you don't need the hacked drivers for the G4 Mini, I'm not sure...

    I I understand the fan you need, but I'll have to charge you by the cuss word if my wife is home when I take it out 🤣 PayPal is lyons_dj@yahoo.com It will be a few days before I can pull it, so wait a few for the PP, and send me your full mailing address.

    Looks like it is $31 post to Canada via USPS and 6-10 business days delivery. I can try and get you a rate UPS, but I'm not sure it's going to be cheaper.

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    There does not seem to be a Linux utility for reading what the GPU configuration is on ATI GPU's. It would be nice to know what ROPs, TMUs, and Pixel and Vertex Shaders are enabled?????

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    ATI Displays 4.5.9 has a bunch of Advanced Settings that all seem to lock up my card and require a reboot, upon reboot none of the Advanced setting I have applied are set.

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    Also of interest to me is 3f3f form the PC VBIOS The 32 is what is at offset 00000070 but I think the 3F3F enables something too. There are Pixel Shaders 48 Vertex Shaders 8 TMUs 16 ROPs 16. I think the 32 enables the 16 TMUs and 16 ROPs but I think that 3f3f may enable Pixel Shaders and...

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    Not so fast, I don't think the PC people got this right, they were replacing 19 with 18 at offset 00000070, whereas all the X1950XT PC VBIOSs I see have 32 at this offset. The Mac Edition has 18 very near this offset, so I'm going to try 32 here for my card and see what happens, wish me...

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    If I'm reading the FCode ROM right is does enable 16 Pipes as the Mac Edition card used the 580+ GPU and ATI did not cripple that, but they set the GPU to 575MHz and VRAM to 600MHz. The PC version I flashed had 625MHz GPU and 900MHz VRAM, so I need to go ahead and edit my FCode ROM for those...

    Let's see your best disk speeds( PPC )(68k)

    I wonder how the memory benchmarks compare to Gage Pro's Moving Memory Rate, which I never really looked into what exactly they were measuring or how, but it was always pretty much on par with the memory performance of my PPC systems. It did speed up if you interleaved the memory or added a G4...

    Sonnet Encore 1GHz G4 in Gigabit G4 - OS X ✅ OS 9 ❌

    You have a hardware problem, but it's though to narrow down. I believe one of these Apple Hardware Test CD's is what you need, but you'll need a CD drive... https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1663-apple-hardware-test-cds

    Phytocodex: access the Macintosh Garden from gopherspace

    Good god, System 6! Been a long time since I used that, must have been 1993. Great app, I should really get into the old 68k's again, you guys do some cool stuff with them.

    Sonnet Encore 1GHz G4 in Gigabit G4 - OS X ✅ OS 9 ❌

    OS 9 and OS X treat drivers differently, if you have a failing PCI card or a device on the systems board it may not show up in OS X because of the different driver architectures. Also the 1GHz clocked CPU maybe pushing a failing device to the limit, where as the lower clocked CPU doesn't push...

    Sonnet Encore 1GHz G4 in Gigabit G4 - OS X ✅ OS 9 ❌

    Again, do you mean the little Classic Mac or the OS splash screen? The Little Happy Mac is the Mac OS ROM file in the System Folder, it is used on New World Macs for ROM in RAM and it can be debugged. I know you said something about the macos9lives images, those should not be used on Gig-E...

    X1950XT vs Radeon X1900GT Mac Edition

    So some time ago I bought a PC X1950XT on the cheap and flashed it with a pre-modified FCode ROM and @joevt and I have been playing with a few PCI to PCI-E adapters and some GFX cards. My PCI to PCI-E bridge supports 66MHz operation and in the PCI-X slots of my Dual 2GHz G5 the X1950XT preforms...

    When you say it doesn't get to the 'Happy Mac' do you mean the small classic Mac icon or the OS splash screen?

    Odd Radeon 9250 flashing issues

    If you install Developer Tools OpenGL Drive Monitor will show you Free VRAM and VRAM in use, from the Perimeters button. That way you can see if it's just reporting the wrong VRAM size to ASP or you need to dig deeper. It's not uncommon for some cards to misreport to ASP but all the VRAM is...
