I think you have that backwards, Bunsen. So 32MB on a floppy huh? Interesting. I have a few LS-120 disks laying around so that wouldn't be an issue. So how does one go about f…

Sun. Aug 31st 2008 3:19 AM - BOOOOOOOOST! [] ]'> I got bored, so I decided to give my Power Mac G4 Quicksilver a little boost. Removed the CPU module and flipped it over.…

ok I have my eye on Radeon 9800 pro I will give that a try

^^The CPU and Ram upgrades are not the problem here, as a last resort you may need to beef up the PSU for a high end AGP card but if you stick an old Radon in, their power requirem…

to coius I also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work …

Fiber optics with small nicks in the run works pretty well, having everything lead back to a single LED. There was an iBook one done this way that did, as you mention, tie into the…

to Rodus and Coius: I have been told because my G4 AGP is no longer stock ie upgraded that no Geoforce cards will work because of power issues is this true ? Click to expand... …

According to this. Yes [] ]'>

just as an example would this card work http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RADEON-GRAPHICS-128MB-CARD-9800-PRO-MAC-EDITION-AGP4X_W0QQitemZ220271815184QQihZ012QQcategoryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQ…

I haven't heard that and would doubt it's correct (maybe someone else can correct me here). IIRC the 5200's were 8x AGP so you'd have to tape a couple of the connectors which is h…

to Bunsen: yes it was a Mac version ( but could have been duff ) to Rodus and Coius: I have been told because my G4 AGP is no longer stock ie upgraded that no Geoforce cards will …

I live to serve

most of the times you can just press the reset button and it will spring back to life. my MP2100 did that a few times. the first time i wigged out cause i just bought it. i remembe…

you could flash a PC 6200 AGP for that thing. a AGP Geforce 6200 (has to be the wang version) would work better then a 7000 PCI or AGP, or you could use a Radeon 9800 Pro in it as …

I just got a Geforce4 MX 64MB AGP Card and Leopard runs great on it! Although there is no Core Image, but who cares?!?! I am running Leopard on this puppy with a Dual 450MHz CPU,…

Geforce FX5200 should work too. Hardly a great card but miles better then the 128.

Remove the battery and power for a little while, then attach the power cable only. Slide and hold the power button over, and a very dim screen should come up asking if you want to …

Was the 9800 a Mac version? PCI radeon 7000 / still would be better than the stock rage 128 pro AGP, right? Click to expand... Yes

I've never had this with mine but I'd suggest signing up here: http://www.newtontalk.net/ If one of these guys can't help then I'd be surprised.

I have not had much look with a card yet I have bought 2 of ebay an had to send them back because they did not work one was Nvidia GeForce 6200 DVI 256Mb AGP x2-8 Power Mac G4/G5 a…

Brilliant, Bunsen -- that may very well be true. It is quite possible that these drives would be able to read damaged floppies that are unreadable in ordinary drives. I'll have to …

On the other foot, might they be able to successfully read otherwise departed 1.4MB floppies? What with all their ultra fine headiness.

unlike the 400Mhz Sawtooths, G4 350MHz G4's have no hope of using Dual processors as they were pre-Rev 7 boards (Uni-north 3 instead of Uni-north Rev 7). you need Uni-North 7 in o…

Pretty amazing achievement, I agree. These drives squeeze many more tracks onto the disk by using narrower heads (much like the ones used in hard drives), and laying down a track b…
