DUDE, that did it. Hot damn, thanks!! I figured since it did recognize the G3, it was all set...but I downloaded all three things under the NuPowr section on this page: http://newertech.com/techdownloads and installed 'em (in the process verifying that the floppy works), and lo and behold, no cache error message now. Wheee!
Thanks again folks. :) -- MB On 10/20/06, Josh Keady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's because you need to install the software for the G3 card. The L2 cache structure of the new processor isn't active because the software isn't installed, and the operating system thinks it's failed. Just download the drivers, install, and you're good.
