G5's (towers) seem to be very pricey still. I think you are better off with an Intel if you plan on using it as your main machine for a few years.

Depends on your needs. Do you mind using software that isn't the latest? Do you mind, if you need software that comes out in later years that it may not be compatible? And, what …

I am just inquiring right now, but I was wondering what this forum's thoughts are concerning the pros and cons of G5 versus Intel. I don't necessarily need the latest and the great…

I tried Time Machine on a non core graphics card once. Don't do it, its so slow. Click to expand... All the Mac would do is sit there and backup. It's so slow now running OS X …

Anybody running a Pismo with a G4 Upgrade? I'm thinking about upgrading to Leopard to use mine as network backup Mac, but I've heard that Time Machine requires Core graphics and wi…

Can a PowerMac G4 boot from Striped RAID? So far both 10.2 or 10.4 won't do it. Jag boots to a KP, and Tiger goes to an Open Firmware problem. It says Code: DEFAULT CATC…

I was surprised to see that the ibook series stayed with the G3 all the way to 900mhz, and I am just wondering how those run 10.4, and how the high end 900mhz G3 compare against a …

I stand corrected. I forgot when they started that the Xserve was stuck with G4 chips, so they made their system out of Power Mac G5s and then later upgraded to Xserves when they t…

Wow, I had not seen the AppleCrate before. That is really something. There was a time when this AppleSeed was really useful - you might remember when Virginia Tech made a supercomp…

The server editions shipped with a SCSI card and SCSI HD (68 pin I think).

Really? I know that some came with SCSI CD-ROM drives, but I would've thought that they all would have shipped with IDE hard drives, because of how expensive SCSI drives were.

are the beiges able to boot off of an ATA drive at all? I have a 266 Desktop and it will not boot off of any devices not on the 50-pin SCSI bus, and even then it will only recogni…

I would only bother doing it because I would like to see if it would benefit my 733MHz quicksilver if I put a 450MHz AGP Graphics G4 with it, I doubt though because it has only 100…

Looks interesting, reminds me of the AppleCrate, but I've only got 1 Power Mac here.

So has anyone actually tried this software out?

ah well maybe I had it reversed. Been awhile since I messed with the old Gossamer.

Never had any problem booting mine from ATA. I've had all three revisions here, and the 8GB limitation applies to all of them.

I know it boots ok from os9. That drive is an IDE drive, and there is no SCSI drive in it currently.

I set it up like you said, 80 gb drive as master on primary bus, dvdrw as master on secondary bus with the os9 drive as slave to the cd drive. I made two partitions on the 80gb, on…
