Re: PB 1400/G3 - Problem #1

[Jonathan Metts]

I have a 1400 with a Sonnet 400.  I have the same problems with mine, 
but mine will make it past the loading, and will crash under slight 
usage.  I was told that it may be a faulty L2 Cache.  I emailed Sonnet 
and they agreed that it sounds like a faulty L2 Cache, but I am getting 
a little fuss about getting it replaced.  I do not have the receipt nor 
do I know where the upgrade was purchased.  It was given as a gift by 
my Grandfather and he can't remember where he shopped last week.  I 
know I probably told him where to buy it, but I can't remember myself.  
I have purchased too many Mac products from too many vendors, there is 
no telling where this thing came from.

I recently got hold of a 1400/133 with a Sonnet Crescendo 333 mhz G3

in it, running OS 8.5.  In general it seems to be running fine, but I am
having two problems.  This post covers Problem #1, namely, that altough
the G3 card seems to be working fine, I can't seem to put the Sonnet
Upgrade extension in the system folder - whenever I do, it causes the
powerbook to freeze during start-up just before the icon parade, i.e.
right when the Sonnet extension is trying to install.

What I've read about this is that without the Sonnet extension the card
still functions but you don't get the L2 cache, which of course is a
problem. I also read that you are supposed to install the extension 
first,
then install the Crescendo card. If this has something to do with it 
it's
kind of a problem since I only have the G3 cpu for this 'book, not the
original 133 mhz cpu.

If someone can tell me how to get the extension to work right I'd be 
most
appreciative.
