If i get a chance i will try after work and post my findings. I have a whole lot of different cards, some simple scsi, some RAID with 128MB ram, daughter cards, batteries, and heat…

As far as I know, no promise cards can be made bootable. Adaptec cards have a slight-chance of being made bootable. One of the main issues with flashing from PC to mac is the size…

Hmmm, the have ROM and RAM but i don't know if the MAC would read it right. They are Adaptec and Promise raid cards, maybe a re-flashing? I will have to play with it.

They may. But I don't think the G4 would boot from them. scratch that, I doubt it would. Mainly as there has to be a ROM on it. Howerver, since I had an Adaptec with a PC ROM on…

Hello everyone, I have a ton of SCSI 160 and 320 cards and HDDs from dell servers. Would the cards work in my G4 tower? If so OS 9.2 work or would i need OS X? I don't know how p…

... or at least have a spare or borked MiniDock you don't mind hackrificing. Say, jt, if you can find one for sale somewhere and you want to give this project a kick along, I'll t…

CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a few months. Click to expand... This is th…

I had thought about putting a CF card in the PCMCIA slot (on my 3400) and using that as a VM module so to speak. Click to expand... Yeah, not a great idea, because PCMCIA is qu…

Thanks for the information, fmwolf. I'm happy to see that a 190 can handle the MLA. I'm glad hear that your CF card has lasted this long. With frequent backups, this hard drive alt…

I've been using my 190 (posting from it) with an ultra II CF for about 3 years now - not on daily basis but frequently enough and with enabled VM. Battery lasts more than 2 hours (…

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... My alternative idea was trying to pin-map the docking bar to a PDS of some sort and mounting it inside a MiniDock.…

Ugh, bad timing. It was down for a while today because of all the storms over where the host is. It is working fine now.

And a proxy gives me: couldn't connect to host So... try it from within a proxy, wackymacs!

Network Timeout The server at machut.valleyofthelights.com is taking too long to respond. The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped w…

The correct address is http://machut.valleyofthelights.com/ - works fine. Click to expand... Doesn't work for me.

From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. *crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed…

Just to let everyone know, the server is back up and its now hosted on OS X instead of Vista. Click to expand... It was hosted on Vista?! You've got a lot of nerve. >

I've got another question, this time about CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a fe…

Excellent. Thanks for the information, beachycove. It looks like I'll have a fun project next weekend.

... how did you install the OS onto the CF card in your 2300c? I am away from its DuoDock II and have no external CD drive, so I was thinking I would put it into a PCMCIA adapter a…

Thank you all for your replies. Part of my challenge for the 3400 is to keep the drive small since I like System 7 and it doesn't like large drives (unless they're partitioned), bu…

IIRC, that was a problem with specific drives in the 30-40 GB (that size only because that was current in '03/'04) range for the 2400c, 3400c, Kanga, and Wallstreets. OWC had a pa…
