Re: [SM] s900 startup
At this point I would be suspicious of 'something screwy in the PRAM'. I don't KNOW, but there are too many 'zap the pram' fixes for strange problem comments to ignore that as a possibility.

However, removing the G4 card, resetting the CUDA and putting in the old Newer Technology G3 processor card brought the s900 back to life. Removing the G3 card and reinserting the G4 card restored everything to normal. This doesn't tell what went wrong, but at least the s900 is working.

Re: [SM] How is this happening
Hi Richard; The 'Options' for XpostFacto booting have gotten changed from your previous settings. When you click on XPF and it comes up with the 'choice of what to do' screen, click on 'options' --- the 'verbose messages' choice is i believe the top item on the left side of the screen, click on that, close that window, continue with your usual choice (Boot OSX, I presume), and all should be back to 'normal'.

Since my last cleaning of the inside of machine #1 and adding a much newer Xpost Facto to the mix I have been getting the standard OSX boot screen and not the verbose start up that I had previously. I have not started in OS 9.1 since the original install of OSX. Except for this last time when I took the machine down to clean. Richard Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: dan_A [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SM] How is this happening? Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2005 20:58:59 -0500 Hi Listers- Either I have witnessed weird S900 behavior or I'm just getting old like the machine. I keep my S900 on all the time, except for rare maintenance sessions. Whenever I did a cold start, I did so into 9 and then using XpostFacto, restarted into X... all very natural by now. My last 2 cold starts were quite different and I would like to know if others have had this experience. I'm running 10.3.8 with all the security updates and the version of XpostFacto, that I'm using, and which is located on a different partition along with 9, is 3.0a15. I have two other more current versions, 3.0a16 and 3.0a17, which I never bothered to decompress because everything is working well. When I did the cold boot it started both times right into X without a long struggle or any problem, fast, just like my Alum and Ti books. Is this a result of an update of the OS? ...or because 10.3.8 holds XpostFacto in some form?. My machine was off for a couple of hours each time so it seems weird. that this was able to happen. I'm certainly not complaining... just curious, wondering if some improvement got by me. Anybody...? dan_A -- -- SuperMacs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Keep in mind that the VST UT66 card will demand an upper slot in the S900/J700, unless it is the only card in the lower slots, or unless it's sharing the lower slots with a card with no on-board firmware (USB, Firewire, Enet). Oh, and it seems to work, sometimes, with a Twin Turbo in the lower slots with it, but one needs to be higher than the other. Basically, there are a few exceptions, but don't count on them. It will probably want an upper slot. If you want it for a non-Umax machine, that's fine too. They're free for the cost of shipping. No more than two per taker. Email me and let me know if you want one or two and your address, but don't send any money for shipping yet. I'll collect emails on a first come, first served basis and then let the folks know who will be getting some. Shipping for one card in the USA will be $3.85. For two cards, $5.40. That's USPS Priority Mail. Many overseas destinations can be reached for about $8 by Air Letter Post, and yes, I'm willing to ship to members outside the US. Oh, and I think Canada is about $3.10.

Re: [SM] Good Samaritan dies.
Hi Barry; Unfortunately, these old work horses seem to have a tendency for the connectors (card, cable) to 'get flakey'. This shows up at the most unhelpful times (case opened, something moved PHYSICALLY. Sometimes a LOOK can be enough to do the damage.) The cure, for me anyway, is to take the time to Remove/Reinstall all of the cards, cable ends, (Mother Board end Drive end both), including the 'housekeeping' stuff like what goes to the front panel etc. While you are at it, a good cleaning with a vacuum cleaner wouldn't hurt. Good luck HTH Chuck D.

There seems to be (at least on MY S900) a sensitivity to the 'carrier

be determined by trial error ;-( .

So, what should I do with the G4? I suppose I'd better clean it up
thoroughly. Regrease and reinstall the heat sink. And try again. Or
does
anyone have any bright(er) ideas?
BTW, there is a little green light on the ZIF carrier card that blinks

Re: [SM] blacker than black screen
Next question! Is the CPU card you are trying to use a ZIF Carrier --- if so, the next possible place to look for flakey connections is the ZIF socket itself. Also another (less likely) possibility, is a 'bad solder' joint on one of the ZIF socket connections. Turn the card over, and look a individually (like each pin separately) at the solder pads. A 'Cold Solder joint will have a 'flat' vs. 'glossy' look to it. If you find one of these, is might help to 're-flow' the solder for that pin/joint. (This takes a steady hand, and a fine tip soldering iron --- also, don't forget to remove the PPC chip from the ZIF while you are reflowing the solder on the other side of the card. (I've got to look at MY ZIF card and see if that may be my problem.) Chuck D.

Re: [SM] Successful upgrade to OS X 10.2.8
Hi Elliot; Next thing! The security updates. Since I was having problems, and re-doing things at the time, I took the track of downloading, and burning on a CD the various updates available via Apples Software Update Facility (Not sorry for the extra work, I've saved countless 'on-line' hours by having them available at hand!) WHAT I HAVE FOUND, that's unexpected annoying. The security Updates do NOT leave alone any 'preferences' that you have entered into the system. Particularly Screen Saver time-outs. So, be warned, and remember to go back and reset any values that you want. Chuck D. On Tuesday, September 27, 2005, at 05:29 AM, E Hoffman wrote: Chuck D.

Re: [SM] Twin Turbo in C-500?
Vague memory of similar problems a long time ago --- TRY --- put a monitor on the 'onboard monitor connection' (remove the 'second' one.) --- Check the 'monitor settings, i.e. make sure nothing special is 'expected' by the machine. (No 'second' monitor) --- remove the 'onboard' monitor --- reconnect the monitor on the 'TwinTurbo' card. I THINK that is how I cured my problem, it's been a while. Chuck D.

I've been brainstorming with Jeff Walther and his theory is that the computer thinks the on-board video card has a monitor hooked up to it (it doesn't) and the Twin Turbo is the enlarged desktop.

Re: [SM] Ansberry still around?
Another $ .02 worth I've just spent a week or so trying to get a Crescendo G4 700/1M to run in my S900. VERY PICKY about memory. NEW 128M DIMMs from OWC weren't good enough to run. Best results were with 512M NON-interleaved. Presently running an XLR8 carrier with a ZIF that is marked as 450. but I haven't gotten it to run faster than 400. Have NOT (so far) been able to fine a faster buss(vs 50) speed that doesn't flake out. Be sure your MB has the 'J38' jumper block on it. (Located between the memory banks, and the Processor slot.) (to disable the onboard cache, so the ZIF cache doesn't get confused). I don't know if you can just add the jumper pins on older MBs, but it seems to be marked on all the MBs I have seen.

Many of our own configurations ended up running the bus at somewhere between 45 and 50MHz. Last night, I kicked the Bus speed up to 51.0, and it seems to be accepting that. Try more later. C.
