Michael,
Where do I get a G4 firmware restore diskette? Methinks that COULD be the problem with the Power logix G4 bd in my PTP. ( It's working fine with the Sonnet G3 500 MHz.)
I've a spare PTP under the bench, that the Power logix bd could go in.

*G4 Pram Restore Diskette - The Crescendo installer modifies open firmware
in the PRAM to fully support a G4. You must run the Crescendo installer
first or your computer may not boot when you install the Crescendo G4 card.
In the future, you may reset the PRAM during a restart from the special
menu, but DO NOT reset PRAM during a cold start. Resetting PRAM during a
cold start will reset PRAM including open firmware and your computer may
not boot thereafter. In the event your computer becomes unbootable due to
the loss of its G$ open firmware contents, booting from the G4 PRAM Restore
diskette will restore open firmware to boot your G4.
Cheers...Michael
Power Tower Pro originally a 225 Upgraded with Sonnet G4 800Mz 2 160 ATA Drives on Sonnet Trio Card 2 SCSI drives on original internal SCSI bus
On startup or restart I'm reaching a screen that reads:
OPEN FIRMWARE 1.0.5 To continue booting the MacOS type: BYE <return> To continue booting from the default boot drive type: BOOT <return>
This occurred when I was trying to install 10.3 using XPF 3.0a17. I
stopped the installation because I could barely read the screen and
realized I should have selected the old video drivers in XPF. Up till now
everything was working fine.
