Safari on a functionally equivalent system (my G4 desktop) Safari wasn't running the last time it happened, hadn't been run since the last restart. This logic board (and computer!) has a history...at some point someone fried the firewire ports. Literally, there are two black scorch marks where there used to be surface mounted components just inboard of the FW ports. I thought the issue was confined to just non-functioning FW ports (and it has functioned just fine for quite a while, I have to disable the FW kexts to get it to sleep.) but something else may have been damaged along the line. The rest of the computer is a 867Mhz Tibook that had a dead logic board, dead battery and no hdd that was given to me for parts, so it's a real franken-mac. I probably need to start shopping around for a replacement system or mobo, if I can find one cheaply. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
