PowerComputing had taken the pedestrian Mac 7200 and, similarly to converting a 6 banger Mustang into a Shelby Cobra, turned it into what Apple feared most... a low cost alternative to the upscale 7500's and 8500's.

Recently, a friend tried to upgrade a beige G3 to OS 10.3 (Panther), and in doing so fried an Atto scsi card, which was stock on the 333 mHz scsi HD iteration of that box. It proved possible to reboot the machine past a grey screen, and reformat the HD, only by using an Adaptec 2940 card pulled from a Blue&White. OS 10.3 doesn't seem particularly friendly towards some SCSI cards, so caution is advised when messin' around in G5 territory. -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
