After all is said and done, I now think the Sonnet upgrade is simply... broken. Either I broke it during my trials, or it was already faulty when I got it. Remember that the Mac was sold "for parts"? Maybe that was just applying to the Sonnet. Because I’ve been running the GigE with the DA’s 466MHz processor for hours without a hitch. Yes, I did manage to start it up with the Sonnet when I first got it (after pressing the PMU), but probably I just didn’t let it run long enough to find out the truth back then. Oh well, I learned a lot!
I still want to ask Sonnet about it, just to understand what’s happening when such an ST seems to run normally except that it runs very hot very quickly. I mean, what could be broken, and maybe, could that be fixed? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
