Hi all! I have a dead blue Clamshell iBook lying around that I'd like to rescue. When turned on, it chimes, and shows the question mark. Nothing wrong until now: it won't boot fro…

^^ Rev 1 or 2 The best way to make sure you're getting a Rev. 2 motherboard is the "402" marking on the CMD646 IDE controller chip Click to expand... Franklinstein's rig…

how do i check what revision this is?

Do you have one of the Rev. 1 B&W? Those are reported to have many problems, though most pertain to the UDMA implementation on the primary IDE channel. My Rev. 1 B&…

With my Beige or B&W before installing CPU Director, they ran at a default speed of about 500mhz (I'm not at home so I can't check the exact number) no matter what the jump…

it is a powerforce that you adjust the speed using cpu director. the jumper settings arent supposed to matter. This leads me to think that it is an open firmware problem. I tried…

Is it one of the cards with a dial for speeds rather than a jumper block? If you search for powerforce here you will find a relevant thread.

I have a powerlogix powerforce g3 and my computer wont boot with it installed. It still boots with the orignal processor. The powerlogix was previously installed into a beige g3 …

well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much.......

It's back up for now, but it would be nice to figure out the cause. Thank goodness for being able to preserve users and applications, otherwise it would be considerably more painf…

My PowerBook G4 did the whole prohibitory-sign boot failure once or twice immediately before it refused to turn on ever again. Still not sure what died on it.

I'm home now and am in the process of a Archive and install of 10.3. It sucks but at least I won't have to reinstall my software. Strangely enough, I did not have to remove one o…

Doesn't sound good - cmd+v should be passed to the kernel, which would be the very first thing that gets loaded... if it's not even doing that... Try boot hd: or mac-boot from the …

Yes, before the bong sound.

Are you holding the keys down as soon as you press the power button?

Try booting up in verbose mode (hold down command-v on boot) and see what message it gives you when it crashes. Click to expand... No response. It still does the same thing.

Today I had to press the reset button on the back of my Lombard. After doing so MacOS X attempts to boot and stops at a circle with a line through it on a gray background. I know…

i dont think it can be enabled for both PCI and AGP cards, i think it has to be one or the other.

Interesting stuff. I've never thought of booting from CardBus. I usually don't leave a card in when I power down (too many machines, too few peripherals), and if I need to boot fro…

Hey guys, can someone help me enable Quartz Extreme on my PCI Radeon 7000 WHILE still being able to use my AGP card? I need to use both because this quicksilver I have is needed fo…

I knew I had seen something more about this somewhere, so went digging.... The 3400c is very like the 2400c, and for our purposes the key thing is that its cardbus capability is s…

If the machine is cardbus enabled, will this theoretically improve the drive's speed? If the machine is cardbus enabled, will this theoretically improve the drive's speed? Click…

my guess would be only if the adapter ur using is cardbus and not pcmcia
