I've had Duos that I thought for sure were dead as a door nail that came right back as soon as I pulled the PRAM Battery.

Oh, well in that case and so long as it isn't an LCD limitation you might well be good to go.

Well, I think it is reasonable to assume it would be able to tell what VRAM it has. What seems up in the air is whether the new bit depths will be made available when the OS probes the controller. I should really de-mothball my 230.

Oh man! Original Boxes! Gotta love 'em.

Would anything need to be done from the controller end so that the OS is aware of those new resolutions or does the controller have some sort of logic that detects what its capable of for a given VRAM amount?

I believe you need to specify the the root device. Inside the kernel arguments box try: root=/dev/hda14 or 15 If that doesn't work replace 14 with numbers starting at 1 until it does work. You should get the same error you are currently getting even with an incorrect number. If you get...

That's a neat little site. You could even get fancier and include an image of the eMate.

I am now the new owner of this G4 upgrade card. My experiences with it have been different than JDW's, but also consistent with overheating. Following a pinch of curiosity, I gave the little round heatsink on the chip a little pinch and PING, off it flew, dried up grease disintegrating to dust...

I believe newer or asante made an ethernet expansion card for the 100 series.

Hmmmm, I haven't used 10.3 in a while, but for 10.2 I use Opera 9.64. Massive swapping aside, Tiger ran ok on my 300MHz/512 WallStreet, so don't knock it until you try it. I think the last version of Firefox for 10.3 is 2.x.x and somewhere there are some nice CPU optimized builds of it. EDIT- I...

Either way, that is definitely a step in right direction for the strength of the "abandonware" idea.

Shadowkiller is a freeware utility by Unsanity that kills all window and menu shadows in MacOS X. http://unsanity.com/haxies/shadowkiller Actual performance increase is often measured with Let1kWindowsBloom. http://www.vgg.com/rob/WindowsBloom.html

I ran Tiger on a 300MHz Wallstreet w/512 and no shadowkiller and all was well. (I did kill spotlight and dashboard though.)

Mac OS 9 does not have any USB 2.0 drivers, period. The cards will most likely work, they just fallback to 1.1 speeds.

My B&W 500 Triboots 9, Jaguar, and Tiger. The PDQ 300 used to run Tiger, but the swapping thrashed the CF card until it corrupted the install. After that I went back to Jaguar, which eventually developed a KPing issue inciting me to put MintPPC back on it and be done with it.

Jaguar (10.2) was when they finally got the bugs worked out. IMO, the golden range of X is from 10.2-10.4, before that is buggy (and too old) and after becomes rather bloated and takes the UI in a different direction.

It seems to be working fine for me. :?: I also have a copy in my backups, just in case. ;)

Thank you waynestewart for the excellent clarification. Perhaps you are willing to add the relevant bits to the sitckied G4 cpu swap thread?

Just a clarifying point: At the most basic level, the January 2003 (FW800) MDD Board/ROM/Firmware is what is incompatible with 9. If you are actually looking to overcome these, A. Good for You! and B. Due to the similarities with the previous model, I'm guessing it is well within the realm of...

In a nutshell: The controller will have x channels. The channels are noted by the number of connectors. 2 connectors means two channels and so forth. Each channel can use a total of 2 devices. From memory (will check my dead QS when I get home) the QS has two channels. One is faster and...
