^^ 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 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…

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

I am running the system via a pcmcia compact flash card. Click to expand... I am thinking about doing the same on my newly revived 2400c. What is the performance like on yours,…

I normally put all of my drives in single master mode anyway if its the only drive on that IDE channel. But with the WD 120gb HDD in my Beige G3 AIO i could have the drive set in M…

Indeed...I remember a couple of years ago when I was putting one of their drives into my Performa, how I had to jumper it specially for the Performa, in fact I think it was actuall…

And now you know that WD does it differently (with thought, of course). It's a caveat worthy of the attention of all of the enlisted here. de

All fixed...turns out the drive had to be set to single drive...works fine now

Indeed I have! But all I get is a blinking question mark :-/

did u set the startup disk to the panther partition?

The hard disk had been upgraded at some stage in the past an was not touching its heatsink. Click to expand... Yeah, the hard drive's heat spreader only contacts 12.5 and 17mm …

Quick update. I opened up the 2400 which was a substantial task. The hard disk had been upgraded at some stage in the past an was not touching its heatsink. Also the thermal past…

The flickering is a sign of insufficient voltage. Either the battery is marginal, or the power regulator board has a problem. The crashing could also be due to power instability. …

Using OF commands, after amending the settings for thermal-info I got the fan to turn on straight after booting, by setting them to 01010200 00000000 01010200 00000000. With the o…

I've got a 2400c spec'd very similarly to yours. My NUpwr is the 240MHz variety. Anywho, I couldn't say anything for sure about the first issue. It could be that something's aging…

If it crashes with intensive programs maybe it's overheating?

Am trying to revive a dead 2400c/180 in the next week or three. As detailed on this page, among a handful of others in English, there are some dozen or more fuses in the innards o…
