I have two Twin Turbos that are 100% good, so it's the slots. It's not an extension thing either since it should at least get to the Mac OS screen, but nothing comes on my monitor at all and it stays black when in those two slots.

I have to strategically place my PCI cards for my recording rig and the best place to put my video card was in either slot 4 or slot 5, which is the last two slots near the bottom of the case. I'm using a IXMicro video card but it just plain doesn't want to work in those last two slots. I've...

So basically, get a retail OS8.6 disk then and that's all I can do. I'm probably going to get the 8600/9600 CD and see what happens.

I read somewhere that the restore/recovery CDs that you got when buying a system back then were pretty much machine-specific. What would the real difference be between using the original System Software disk that came with your system compared to using some type of 'universal' install disk? I...

I hope someday we find how out how you got USB working in System 7...

I never expected the SCSI bus to be very fast, I was just thinking that since it was rated at 10MB/sec that I'd get something closer to 8MB/sec on my SCSI HD. That's why I suggested that maybe the bus as a whole is CAPABLE of 10MB/sec, but it won't let me get anywhere near there unless I have...

Everything is connected fine, the SCSI HD is going to the internal SCSI 0 bus and the 2nd SCSI bus (1) has nothing plugged into it. I'm thinking that if I had multiple SCSI drives in the SSI chain I'd probably be able to get closer to 10MB/sec, but I'd have to do that simultaneously. It probably...

The SATA SSD in there (benchmark to the left) got 25MB read/write average, so I guess that can serve as an equivalent of using a PCI SCSI card. I believe the Cheetah 15k.4 is an Ultra320 drive, and its specs say it should be able to get 96MB/sec as noted here...

I have a Sonnet SATA card in a 9600 along with an SSD from OWC. In a real world test, I got about 10MB/sec transfer rate going from one directory on the SSD into another. That doesn't seem like it's going as fast as it should so I decided to test the hard drive and came up with this result...

Could I put a 300/350 Kansas board inside a 200/233 Tsunami machine and use the same power supply and the rest of the internals? Not sure how interchangeable the Tsunami and Kansas 9600s are. There are usually more Tsunami 9600s floating around so maybe I could buy a 200/233 machine and switch...

I need a 6-slot machine and as far as I'm aware, the 9500 and 9600 are the only powermacs to have that feature. 9600s are hard to come by, I only see them on ebay every so often. I'm on the hunt for a Kansas 9600 but I may settle for a 9500 or even a Tsunami 9600 if a Kansas 9600 isn't available.

Can you elaborate on the performance and compatability? After looking at the specs it seems like - at least for the 9500/200 and 9600/200 - they've both got the same stuff on the inside with the system bus being the same speed too.

I'm comparing the specs and these machines looks almost identical, minus the CPUs that they use. The system bus speed is the same, it has the same amount of PCI slots, everything. I know that the later 9600s switched over to the Kansas boards so the soldered-in cache problem is outta the way...

I have a 9600 and the SCSI bus is 10mb/sec. I also have an SSD and a regular SATA HD hooked up to a Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI card. I find that copying files from any drive to another, or to the same drive on a different partition, gives me only about a 2MB/sec transfer. Is this normal?

9600/200. 768mb of ram.

I got another weird one today. It said "An unexpected error occurred because not enough memory is available", then it asks me to close applications/programs. I can't get rid of the message and have to restart at this point.

I ran into the problem of 65000 files actually. If my entire collection of like, everything is on the same drive, I'll need to partition everything. Turns out though, for some reason some files show up as 14.5mb and others show up as 29.1mb. It's like either or.

An 8 kilobyte text file on an HFS+ drive shows up as roughly 30MB on a 1TB HFS drive (Mac OS Standard). That's what I get anyway. Large file sizes aren't too great to deal with but I'm more concerned about something else that may tie into this. If I boot OS7.6.1 from the 1TB HFS drive and I...

You can't allocate more memory by hitting Get Info, at least you can't in 7.6.1.

There was a webpage about OS9 stability that I found months ago and it gave a little tutorial on how to increase Finder's memory with ResEdit. I didn't really notice a difference when doing that. However now I'm running OS7.6.1 and I just encountered a weird thing. I was trying to open a control...
