Will do, thanks.
The retail install of 9.2.2 may also lack a few other components that
the MDD needs and those were discussed a year or two ago in an earlier
thread. There are a couple of sound extensions or CPs that the MDD
needs.
I guess I will be fine with the recovery disc OS directories though. I'm
also going to be using PCI sound cards, not the logic board audio. I
guess that should be OK.
There's also an issue with QuickTime and older (the ones 9.2.2
installs) ATI drivers. If you have an NVidia card, then the
QuickTime problem should not be an issue for you. If you have an ATI
card, you need to find the latest ATI drivers for your card and OS
9.x, otherwise QuickTime will lock up the machine at boot time.
I currently have an ATI card, but have ordered a used TI 4600. Should be
OK. I don't know if I have the latest drivers though. Nvidia don't seem
to host these any more. I found a shop which has a driver pack available:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/FTP/nvidia/nVidia3.5Drivers.sit
I'm not sure if this driver even works at this stage. Will find out soon
enough.
Also just bought a dual 1.42GHz CPU module, 2GB RAM, and an SSD drive.
I'm going to try running 10.5 on this in a dual boot set up. Don't
really have a need, but though I'd give it a try anyway.
Unfortunately, I also found that one of my RAM slots is broken. At
least, the locking lever at one end is snapped. Not sure if there is
damage to contacts yet. The machine froze up though. Removing that RAM
stick, and resetting the logic board got it operating again. I hope I
can get it working.
Thanks again everyone.
