No, I ran it with 8.6-9.1

Interesting. I used in a PCI Rage128. probably from a B&W G3, in my 8500 with no issues.

Well that's kinda neat!

Well give that one a shot and let me know. I'll dig around and see if I can come up with anything later, but I doubt it.

But it should work with a TiBook, which is what you mentioned in your first post. If you're talking about the last aluminum G4 PowerBooks then I don't know, probably not. I sent you a PM.

I can send you a copy too if you'd like. :) This is an OEM 9.2.2 disk that came with some version of the TiBook. It's labeled Powerbook G4 ver 1.2. It's OS9 only and it worked (booted, installed) on many different G4 Macs. (I labeled it "Any" at some point.) The disk has a creation date of...

I have an original 9.2.2 install disk for the PowerBook G4. PM me and I'll send you a copy.

fyi- here's a working link for the head height adjustment. https://web.archive.org/web/20060614072605/http://lowendmac.com/tech/after.html

Nice! Thanks, that's good information for the forum to have. :)

Yes, exactly.

Playing around with my card and thinking about this more, I think this particular card only supports 4mb, regardless of 32 bit support. The instruction manual provided by Bolle is for a later model Quick30 board. Wish I could a find the specific manual for this card.

Wet sand the resin copy with some 1000 grit sand paper then move up to 1200 and eventually 2000.

If it's 117mhz upgrade then it's probably a Newertech card and would certainly require Newertech software to properly enable.

You're using a 68K '030 install on an '040 PB with a PPC upgrade card. I'm not surprised there are issues.  ;) I'm sure there are at least PB/040/PPC enablers/extensions that are missing. I would just do a clean install on the PB.

Can you send a copy of that to Apple and have them forward it the iTunes team?

No, I do not. I was going by the information on everymac's page. I've worked on many, many G4 systems but I was usually only interested in OS9 if I was working on the Classic side. If I ever ran across a G4 with 8.6 I probably upgraded the OS to 9.

Uninorth refers to the chip that passes data between the processor and the memory. Uninorth was what Apple called the chip. In a PC this chip is usually referred to as Northbridge. But in this context it refers to the early grey G4 Macs. Most of them are capable of running 8.6. This page has...

There are components on the mother board that can fail and cause the symptoms you are seeing, but it could also be the floppy drive. You'll have to find some way to test the floppy drive with another computer to isolate the problem. Or test another known good drive in your computer. Look...
