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 ?
I had another thought in addition to my previous posting. There's a fellow selling 9600 Enhanced (Kansas) motherboards on Ebay now with a starting price of $10.99 and not getting any bids.
The 9600 Enhanced has no on-board cache to disable. With shipping it would cost only slightly more than buying two soldering pencils and will easily replace an original 9600 MB. If you have a 9500 or Daystar, you would need either a replacement power supply or to build an adapter dongle, as the 9500 and 9600 use different power supply connectors.
