Update:  I found a combination that works.  I had to find a spare jumper and set the primary drive in the G4 to "master" and the new drive to "slave" (16 heads line).  When I left the original HD (Quantum Fireball) with its default setting of no jumpers and installed the "slave," the original HD...

I bought a new "white label" IDE/PATA drive to add to a Sawtooth G4 I am attempting to beef up.  Can someone relieve me from my woeful ignorance as to what the labels mean on this thing?  16 heads?  32GB clip?  I tried the cable select setting for both the "16 heads" diagram and the "32GB Clip"...

I didn't try these tips, but I will keep them on file for future reference.  I ended up doing a clean install of the operating system and removing AfterDark.  As far as I can tell the problem has been solved.  The user is no longer experiencing crashes and error messages.  The only thing he...

Is this by any chance the controller card that goes with a Radius pivot monitor?  We had one back in the 90's, and I found this NUBUS Video card in our stash, lacking any kind of identification.

Beige g3 running OS 8.6 I did a lot of searching for a similar issue both here and through Google, but didn't turn up any useful information.  I didn't see an OS forum. Since I am using a beige G3, this is where I decided to ask the question.  Any help is greatly appreciated. The G3 has been...

Since it looked like buying a G5 and forcing it to fit into our network was going to be extremely complicated, I decided to purchase a G4 tower instead.  I found a promising 450Mhz G4 with AGP Graphics on eBay.  It looks like I may be able to set it up with OS 8.6 as well, which would work out...

This is what started my journey.  We've been trying to replace all of our old Quantum hard drives.  The heat and dirt in the shop have aggravated the age problem, and our IIsis started dropping like flies during the heat wave last summer.  We replaced all of their conventional HDs with SCSI2SD...

I'm having a hard enough time with all of this Mac OS networking, and we have no PCs here.  Thanks for the advice, but I know absolutely nothing about the Windows platform and really don't want to veer off into the unknown.

I would love to do this.  I have proposed doing this.  I was denied.  We have some folks here who are way more than "resistant" to changing how they do things.

I opened it up and the Warranty sticker is intact. so I am not sure what I have going on in there.  I'll work on it more later this week.

The design process really runs best on OS 8.6, but it's getting crazy difficult to find machines that will run 8.6.  Not to mention printers that are compatible.  That G3 may well be overclocked, the backside label says it has a 233 mhz processor, but I am fairly sure when you run ASP, it says...

Hi Cory: The G3 is a beige tower.  I think it has underlying issues because there are many things I can't get to work properly.  You gave me a ton of good advice when I was trying to beat it into submission.  It has been very unstable.  Upgrades work, then they don't.  Then they do again, then...

Is it even possible to network a G5 and a IIsi?  I am looking at a G5 to replace an old G3 in which I have not been able to successfully increase the storage capacity.  I've tried multiple things like Pata to Sata adapters, SCSI cards, etc. etc.  I have not been able to get it to perform...

There is a universal one made by Joe the zombie, but i think it's way too big for your application.  Too bad, it works great in a bunch of different models we use.

Any ideas as to where to look?

Next regression question:  my boss found me  a G4 for sale online that would have come with OS 8.6.  The owner gave me the serial number, and I looked it up.  He has OS X 10.3 installed on it.  I would want to take it back to OS 8.6.  Are there any reasons I could not do that, i.e. any firmware...

Now I understand!  We don't use email or any kind of web services on the older Macs, and I know how to set up standard file sharing.  Now to sell this to the shop manager and my bosses.

At this time, the most machines we would have connected concurrently is 6.  In reality, it's usually only half that many. ASiP6? I don't want to get into Windows, I only have 1 Windows user, and he is only using it for Solidworks.  Anything he needs to move, he puts on a thumb drive that he...

Forgive me if I am crossing threads, but I think this one was where someone asked me about the problems we encounter when we try to use our punch program on OS 9.  The problem is not making the files as I earlier thought.  I had one of the programmers help me recreate the issue.  The problem is...

Sorry to take so long to respond to this, but year end mania took precedence over my projects for the last few weeks.  I have a Seagate SATA drive I hooked up to the card.  It has the same problems.  Fizzbin reported he has issues when he tried to boot into 8.6 via a drive connected to this PCI...
