Is anyone using os X with the PCP/180/Sonnet G3/500? I know Sonnet doesn't support it, but....

So far I've used 2 drives with it - they seem to be working pretty well, but they are not in the list of supported drives. However, I do get 1 odd piece of behavior that I'm curious if anyone has had any problems with: If I shut down the machine normally, and then disconnect the it completely from the power source, it gives me the "This computer was has crashed or was shut down improperly" (paraphrasing....) message. If I shut the machine down normally, but leave the power connected, it reboots fine, without errors. When I first got the machine, I was having problems with the clock resetting itself as well, so I replaced the battery, and that went away. So any ideas on what is changing when power is removed? Do you think that the error is a sign of possible drive corruption? I've run both disk first-aid and DiskWarrior on both drives, but the seem to be working a-okay, but I've got a nagging suspicion that they might not be, because they're not (apparently) in the list of drives. Any clues/help/similar? Has anyone gotten this with approved drives?

I am still running OS 8.6.1 on the machine. Jerry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Folks, > > I'm looking for some feedback about G3 upgrades for a Power Center Pro 210.

Initial install went without a hitch, though it when I tried to boot into X it did crash just before the desktop. I used the throttle feature and it solved the problem. I have a Powerlogix 400 (clocked to 480) and "X" runs well. The latest update, 10.1.5 runs really well. I am a happy camper to say the least. Any ways just thought some might be interested. ~alex __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hold down Command -option-P-R keys at startup, and let the machine blink twice before releasing those keys. Remember to reset your mouse speed after doing so.
