God I'm an idiot. I meant to type the KEYBOARD power button in the title. The normal power button is A-OK.

I've got an extra PRAM battery laying around, brand new. The button works when I'm already booted but it won't power up the machine. I remember posting a thread about using an SVHS cable as an ADB extension cable and someone mentioned something about it possibly draining the PRAM battery. That...

I have a 9600. For some reason when I first got it a while back, pressing the power button would boot the machine. Now it doesn't work. Why?

Sent you a PM yesterday :)

I could just buy a 9600 with a Kansas board in it but 9600s are slightly difficult to come by lately.

I think I got it! I tried everything in the NewerTech Maxpowr control panel to no avail, but the one thing I skipped over in it was the motherboard's own L2 cache. I believe it's soldered in on a 9600/200. The settings I set the L2 onboard cache to were Off, and Off if CPU's cache is bigger (or...

Which model 9600 do you have? Mine is a 200.

I tried moving it, doesn't help. Like I said though, everything works 100%. Just not together or simultaneously. It's got to be some weird, weird extension conflict. I've heard of this working on other 9600s though, so maybe it's that my 9600 motherboard is old. I'd like to see if someone has a...

There was something called G3 Cache Profiler that I used to disable Speculative Addressing I think it was called, it didn't work. I've tried a Sonnet 500/250/1M and a NewerTech 300/200/1M and both give me the same problem. There's a Sonnet CPU control app? The only thing that got installed as...

It's been nearly three weeks that I've been screwing around with this. There's a freezing issue on my 9600 when I've 1) got -any- CPU upgrade in the machine and 2) have a MOTU PCI soundcard in a PCI slot. Actually, having the hardware in the system is fine, it's the extension conflicts between...

Maybe this should go in the PCI Powermacs section, and if so move it there, but this is about a G3 CPU upgrade so maybe this fits. I've got a 9600/200 and I'm trying to upgrade the CPU. Everything works 100% with multiple CPU upgrades (Sonnet 500/250/1M and NewerTech 300/200/1M) except in the...

I have a Macally USB card with an NEC chipset. Maybe  I'll fool with it later today to see what I can come up with.

You think it was just dragging over extensions?

USB works fine in OS8 with the Apple 1.4.1 USB driver. Has there ever been some kind of workaround for USB in System 7?

SCSI Voodoo. Got it now. It initialized instantly.

SCSI drives, right? Not SATA or IDE with an adapter? My SATA drives are pretty much instant. SCSI seems to take longer though.

I'm using OS8.6. I had a feeling it was the size of the drive combined with the slow SCSI-2 bus. It's been stuck on "installing device driver" ever since I posted this. I almost want to turn the 9600 off and start over but that may be wasted time. The cursor is still moving and it has that...

I have a new 36GB drive on a 9600. The SCSI-2 bus is only 10mb/s so it's pretty slow. Usually when I format drives I never select low level format or zero all data. I save that only for when I have a problematic drive. For this new 36GB drive I didn't select any of that since I wanted a quick...

I can't even figure out how to type any of those non-printable characters on a Mac. If I could somehow copy and paste them, that would be excellent. I can use 01 or 02 in the ASCII list maybe if 00/Null won't work.
