M sez: Why aren't you asleep ? Its quarter to four in the morning ! I surely hope there is a more elegant way to disable the Daystar on-board cache than hacking something off the motherboard.\ I still have the Daystar 800 MHz nPower MP board with four 200 MHz 604e processors on it and may stick it back in some day. With the MaxPowr CDEV I'm using with the NewerTech G3 card I can set preferences to disable the 512k cache but the software with the 800 MHz Sonnet card does not do anything except get the card seen. I guess if there ever was a place to find out what prefernces PCI Mac users have in this matter, this list is the place. How about it gang: do we hack off the resistor or do we leave it on ? There is nothing in the Sonnet manual to suggest that this alteration is necessary and sufficient to get the 1 Meg cache on the G4 card recognised. I've been running my Daystar with resister intact and the Sonnet G4 800 since theweek when they first came out and I ordered one of the very first cards shipped to Canada. Is chewing off that resister a good idea or does it just seem like a good idea ? M M -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
