My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

It may have been a universal install; it appears as if the people who installed the software were from Tiger Foods. :?: They could have just made a universal set of floppies. If…

I tried Ubuntu a couple of times on my iBook and iMac over the years. It's been a while but I think I had video problems with both (the iMac for sure). Kubuntu especially was very …

I believe 7.5.3 has Apple System Profiler. Run that and see what it says for processor. It's very likely that the install was a "Universal" install for any system. Of course, it…

Hello all, I recently acquired a PowerBook 540c. So far, I'm very happy with it, blah blah and blah. Anyways, as I was snooping around the System Folder, I noticed something: a Po…

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/…

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you go…

Carbon isn't modern?

given that situation yes

So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

You say you didn't notice a difference in Virtual PC. Did VPC claim to be dual-aware? If so, probably what you'd need to do then is test out running two virtual PCs on each the dua…

If you really want to get fancy with your 1 GHz G4, get 10.5 on that system. It's been done by others, but it's not trivial. Click to expand... Yeah, too much work and I want t…

Sonnet Crescendo 1ghz G4 for beige PCI Powermacs. I've been seeing a few of these being sold by Mac dealers on ebay for $225-$250 so grabbed this one because it was only $100. You …

Sweet That bad boy deserves a worthy host - may I suggest your 9500? Click to expand... I was thinking that, too. I was originally going to put it in the 9600 when it gets …

I also noticed there is a dealer selling new G3 500 upgrades for the 7500 et al Macs for $199.95. That's kinda stupid since Sonnet still has stock of those for $50. 8-o Click t…

Not bad! I could use one of those in my beige G3, but I'm too cheap. Click to expand... This is the one for the earlier Macs, not the G3 ZIF socket. There was a 1ghz upgrade fo…

I've been eyeing these off at $10-$12 apiece - if I found them at $6 I'd probably do just as you have done. Click to expand... Yeah, when I saw how many he had at the price I h…

I've been eyeing these off at $10-$12 apiece - if I found them at $6 I'd probably do just as you have done.

What's also nice is I can use my standard VGA monitors now instead of the special Mac connector monitors. I don't have enough Mac monitors to put one on each of my Macs but I have …
