Interesting. Is there an objective, side-by-side analysis of 1400 upgrade cards that show performance, heat, and power impacts? I've also got a 333 MHz Sonnet card that I bought …

I know this is a bit off topic, but the 233 Vimage G3 upgrade, IMHO, is not worth the effort. It runs too hot and bleeds the battery. All the best. Click to expand... The batt…

I see absolutely no signs of a 6 GB hard drive limit. I'm using a 40 GB hard drive (Apple ROMed) in mine. Click to expand... There is a 4GB limit for SCSI Disk Mode...if you ha…

Try here: http://www.ppcmla.com/downloads/VPower_Vimage_PB.img.sea I stuffed up my installer disk image. I haven't tested the .sea file, but if everything worked as it should (D…

Sorry, should have stated the G3 upgrade. Good to know though that it will work regardless while I hunt down online drivers. This shall be my next project.

The driver is required to activate the L2 cache. Otherwise, the CPU module will work fine. A G3 without cache is virtually the same thing as a 603e. I have that same processor u…

Driver for the hard drive or the G3 upgrade? I see absolutely no signs of a 6 GB hard drive limit. I'm using a 40 GB hard drive (Apple ROMed) in mine. As for the G3 upgrade, I've…

I am looking to install a 10GB HD in my 1400 with a 233 Vimage G3 upgrade installed. I have the driver on floppy but alas no floppy drive for the 1400. If I install the new drive…

well I know the master slave jumpers are ok. the computer worker great for several weeks after the new hd. I reformateded and installed 10.4 clean and then ran tech tools to chec…

For shits and giggles, take the hard drive out and just boot from an os x disk, see what happens. Thats how I've figured out bad hard drives and such. Of course, a full size G4 to…

I have: G3 desktop OS 9.2.2 (I'm struggling to get it to dual boot Ubuntu) 1000 MHz G3 (running from a 83 MHz FSB) 768 MB ram 80 GB hd 24x cd-rom ATI Radeon 9200 PCI 2-port…

I'd take it back to when you replaced the hard disk - did you set master/slave on the new drive? The fact that it's chiming, booting to a grey screen suggests all is good - so I'…

Oops, missed those last couple of sentences. The reason for asking was that I had a problem with a 2300c caused by overheating of a transformer on the logic board (one of those sq…

The best way to reset the pram is to disconnect main power, disconnect the PS from the motherboard, remove the pram battery, tap the power button to kill any residual voltage, and …

Does the Duo work on its own fine outside the Dock?

A few points to add to the good advice others have contributed: - As folks have said, Tiger must be installed on the first partition, and the partition should be smaller than 7.45…

I did not look at them that closely but that is a definite possibility. Either way, it was a benefit since the two ram chips originally in the Lombard were not suitable for the un…

Wallstreet and Lombard both have 66MHz system busses and can use PC66 SO-DIMMs. If someone went the cheap route on the Wallstreet and only used bare-minimum spec PC66 SDRAM (yes, …

I reseated the CPU to no go. I took the RAM out and put it into my Lombard along with a new 20GB HD, instant boot. Works great. I installed the old Lombard RAM which apparently …

Do the old "disconnect the PRAM battery", and reseat the CPU card - it goes in with a "thunk" sound. JB
