Bart, You can't install OS X from the CD without using the XpostFacto installer. available at http://sales.macsales.com/ ... click on the os x tab .. then the os x support for old world macs logo .. download XpostFacto and run the install from there...
It will run on the 604e but slowly and the two connector PCI/VGA card is a TwinTurbo ims tt128m 8mb card that will work in OS x .. I use mine as well as a Voodoo 3 3000 ... Although I do have 512MB of ram and a G3 upgrade from newer.. Stew _______Bart Said________________ My Machine is: System: PTP 225; original 604 225 CPU With: Various drives, all 1-4gb SCSI; mem 256mb the Video Cards I have: 1 the VGA/RGB double plug thing it came with (??) 2. A Radius card full length with a daughter board. Unknown name or model 3. PC Voodoo III that has been flashed to a Mac ROM (now I KNOW this one won't cut it!) 4. A box full of Trident, S3, ATI, Number 9, and on and on PC PCI video cards not one of which works on a Mac though they all do on PCs) With cards 1-3 the box boots fine in OS 7.5.5 through 9.1 (I have disks formatted on 7.5.5 8.0 8.1 8.6 9.0 and 9.1 and have tried each and they work), but: on OS X... I have a fresh clean Apple Rom formatted 2gb drive. (by the way, FWB's format tool will NOT format a readable in OS X disk, nor l it seems will APS, or Silver Lining, but the Charis Anubis works, at least it does on the 7500/Sonnet I have) I have a fresh 2gb, with a boot from a 9.1 system on a 1gb that has Xpostfacto on it. with either a 10.1 OS X or Jaguar 10.2 (tried both) in the CD drive. Do the install thing, tried all the tricks from reload, throttle, boot single user etc, and... it starts to load the New World goodies, boots like normal...wait wait wait..twice the time a 7500 takes and...it boots back to 9.1... DRAT! never seem to make it to OS X install screen. Any ideas out there? Is it my video? I have tried all the usuals of clearing PRAM (I even left it battery out for 2 days), reinstalling 9.1, redid the 2gb SCSI disk's format, even repartitioned and made SURE it was HFS+... I am at a loss. Help me Obi wan Kanobi.
