G4/ Ethernet Troubleshooting.. — #7

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt. I think that was the initial reason it was disconnected in the first place, I guess I just "happened" to revive it for a few months. And I've had an AWEFUL …

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #8

If you enable dynamic power management, doesn't that mean the CPU drops to half-speed when possible, as in idling while you look at a CPU speed screen? CPUD and other speed sensing…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #7

Okay I emailed OWC's tech support. In the meantime... Metronome indicates that my bus speed is indeed set to 100MHz. I double checked my jumpers and they are correct for that sett…

G4/ Ethernet Troubleshooting.. — #6

The power supplies on that model are known to fail, so that may be what died. As for ethernet, sometimes the computer won't autonegotiate a suitable connection with the central hub…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #6

I have a PowerLogix 1.1 ghz processor that's in a B&W G3. It ignored the motherboard jumper settings as far as processor speed went. I never did try changing the bus speed …

Trouble booting blue & white g3 — #3

That does sound like corrupt PRAM, if you wound up in Open Firmware (the mac-boot prompt). Check your battery voltage - should be 3.6V minimum. If the battery is OK, then press the…

The Quote button — #13

I can't see what the big deal is, you should still be able to use quotes via BBCode. Its not as if we've banned quotes completely. This is a test. Testing testing one two th…

MIDI performance on a Macintosh Classic, good? — #7

Just how little jitter can MIDI deliver? At 31.25 kb/s, or 31 bits/mS, and 3 bytes (30 bits with start & stop bits)/shortest MIDI message, it seems you need at least 1 mS p…

Black Terminator for the IIfx — #13

I haven't looked at the specs, but it's probably not a big deal to change out the internal terminator packs with the "proper value" of resistor to create an on-board Black Terminat…

Generic PRAM batteries — #26

Do you use two (3.1V) or three (4.65V) to replace a 3.6V PRAM battery? Or are you referring to replacing the 4.5V square PRAM batteries as pictured above?
