I'm using an OS 9.0 CD from a G4 I think... it snot in front of me at the moment...
I also booted from another cd and upgraded the install to 9.1 hoping htat would work, it didnt... It has 320 MB of RAM (plenty I think...) Only a NIC card in the PCI slots, This was all done on a blank hdd so there is no previous OS, although did try it on an 8.6 install and gave up. I dont have conflict catcher, but this seems unnesisary as the install was on a Blank drive? It does have a 604e cpu in it, but its only 180 Mhz... Rob how much do you want for your 604e 240 Mhz CPU from the PCP? I dont have $140 to spend on a G3 I'm a college student and so I need to spend under like $40 any other suggestions? -Joe essage-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 16:04:12 -0600 From: "Robert H.

Like the Performas and Quadras (they were a breed apart.) its s/w is different. There were several glitches meinself encountered with OS 9.0.4 .... OS 9.1 is a vast improvement but both had some conflict with older apps. Many trouble shooting hours later, my OS 9.1 works like a charm. In My Not So Humble Opinion (IMNSHO) It (OS 9.1) is the best Mac OS to Date. I've OS X on my eMac ... and though it may be "Cockpit Trouble" ... this old Fart hasn't been this frustrated since the time he was using "D Base II" on a K-Pro. How much RAM do you have? Have you tried booting with extensions off? What's in the PCI Slots? The drivers may need to be updated. You didn't mention your previous OS .... There may be some defunct extensions still lingering about causing problems. I've forgotten how many upgrades that were necessary on mine, but it was a bunch. Do have Conflict Catcher 8 ? If so disable. Extensions until it will boot up. Configure it to get on the net. Then open S/W upgrade and start upgrading. Try booting up with Norton Utilities, Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro. My advantage was I'd the latest versions, at the time, of those plus Spring Cleaning. and Conflict Catcher 8.

Pulled from running units to be replaced by Sonnet 500 MHz G3 cards. What's the going price Michael ? Joe being the "Good Guy that I am I must tell you ... first ... check the prices for a G3 card on amazon. Someone quoted a price the other day that was so cheap I nearly bought one and I don't even need one. Seems like it was $140 total, postage and all ... It will be a lot faster. Also get a used ATI Rage 128 Graphics Accelerator card.
