Re: Another RAM Question

2008-09-25 Thread Ralph

Howdy,
  I went through some SDRAM DIMMs I had as spares and found some similar
chips.  They are not exactly the same, but I can almost certainly give
you part of the information about your memory.
  The -8 is on PC100 memory modules and that makes sense for two
reasons.  80 nanoseconds plus a little overhead would be right for a 100
MHz bus.  And P2 chips only supported 2 bus speeds.  Well, other bus
speeds were supported, but depending on the specific chips, there were
two maximum speeds.  They were either 66 MHz or 100 MHz.  My similar
modules were made by Infineon in Germany.  My similar modules are 64 meg
DIMMs and have 8 chips.  So, I would guess yours are 32 meg modules.
The largest DIMMs I have seen P2 chipsets support were 128 MEG.
  So, I agree with the other assessment.  Throw this away and get 256
meg PC133 modules for your G4.
Good luck,
Ralph

Thanks for the info . so do you think i should download the patch and
try the drive again? I not going to update just yet to OS X as I was
told that with the system older hardware I may have problems with
using the older versions of the video software and I plan to use this
system for doing video. I like to update the hardware like Memory and
CPU and video cards but know that I will be limited to the G4
hardware.

If Pioneer dives may be one choice  could Sony be another ? Are there
other brands I can use?
I also looking at changing out one of the two or both hard drives
(there are 2 IBM IDE Deskstars 60 gigs each)
I like to see what i can get out of this box for a bit .. It bring
back memories from working at Apple it was hell some time other time
it was fun but when you have to fix system after system to get it out
the door  you get a bit tired. I can say I have personal worked on
thousands of G3 G4 and iMacs (pre LCD)

Thanks again for the info and by the way I always like the case of the
G3 / G4 and was a lost why Apple just dropped them and wonder what
ever happen to them.

well i searched around and i was shocked to find out what had happen
to the Case and what they are being used for now.

be warned this is a bad end for such great case..

Folks need to expand the headers of incoming messages to see where

 Does your G3 support the 'Option Key' on startup, boot selector?

 If it does, then you probably can boot from the 'FireWire' port.

 However, the Tiger Image location, is only part of the boot problem.
 How is the G3 as far as required 'Tiger' hardware?

Mac Radeon 9200 PCI NTSC

2008-09-25 Thread Peter Mc Court
Greetings all,

A friend of mine kindly imported (to me in Norway) a Mac Radeon 9200  
PCI 128 MB video card from the US, for installation into my BW G3.  
However, I note that on the side of the package that it reads Mac  
Radeon 9200 PCI 128MB VVOD RH NA NTSC 100-436014). I guess that the  
NA means North America and the NTSC is the North American TV  
standard (as opposed to the PAL standard elsewhere).

So, to my question - will this care work here in Europe with my BW  
G3 original (European) monitor? I do not intend to hook it up to any  
regular TV. Alternatively, can one choose a PAL option with this card?

TIA and cheers from Tromsø,

Peter

Re: Mac Radeon 9200 PCI NTSC

2008-09-25 Thread Eric Volker
I suspect the NTSC part of the card's designation simply applies to a  
Super Video out connector. This would be for hooking your computer up  
to a regular, non-HD TV. I don't think you'll have a problem as long  
as don't try hooking up the S-Video port on the card. If you do,  
you'll have to use an NTSC TV as opposed to a European model. If that  
card doesn't have an S-Video out, I'm not sure why it's designated as

Yes it will works. And you can also check on pcb if there is a pal/
ntsc jumper. Most of video cards got one

 I suspect the NTSC part of the card's designation simply applies to

 European model. If that card doesn't have an S-Video out, I'm not

Sounds like a monitor going bad to me. Perhaps time for a widescreen  
LCD display?

Also, why haven't you upgraded from 10.2.3 to 10.2.8? There were many  
video related updates in each of the individual updates within Jaguar,  
and the video update between 10.2.6  10.2.8 was one of the most  
important. I'd certainly grab the 10.2.8 Combo Update ASAP and get up- 
to-speed. Better yet, get Tiger 10.4.

This is an excerpt from your ASD manual:

The screen flickers.
• The flickering could be caused by interference from a nearby power  
line, a fluorescent
light, or an electrical device—for example, a radio, a microwave  
oven, or other computer
equipment. Try relocating nearby electrical devices, or moving your  
computer and
monitor.
• If you have more than one monitor attached to your computer, the  
monitors might be
interfering with one another. Move the monitors farther apart or set  
the monitors at an
angle, so their screens are close and their back panels are farther  
apart. If you still see
flickering after moving the monitors more than 16 inches apart,  
contact an
Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
• Your monitor may flicker if you have chosen a resolution with a  
refresh rate of 60 hertz or
below. You may be able to change to a resolution with a higher  
refresh rate using the
Monitors  Sound control panel.

The lower header show when the relay received the message from Goggle

vx-out-2122 - but took several hours to get there.  The higher 
header is where the message was handed to cox.net - one second later.

So it looks like the delay was internal to Google, within their

accept the message...  Now much can be done about this, but we should 
probably watch to make sure messages aren't being lost.

Ugh, that sux. I've only ever run into that error with samba shares,

FWIW it's a no brainer to try the fixgo to the 10.2 machine, stop  
the file sharing, restart the computer and re-share the drive.

ON the other one, restart the computer and re-attach the shared Mac

This is what works with flaky samba shares, particularly on older macs.

I've no clue whether this will work for afp shares, though.

I've no clue whether this will work for afp shares, though.

With the introduction of 10.4 Apple disabled file transfer and sharing over the 
older version of afp that used AppleTalk either over twisted pair localtalk or 
AppleTalk over ethernet.

It made it impossible to connect OS neXt to systems earlier than OS 8.5 without 
purchasing proprietary software from OpenDoor.

In OS 8 or 9 and possibly OS 10.2 you have to enable AppleTalk over IP, 
internet protocol. It's a deliberate selection in a preference somewhere that 
has to be set and may not be the default in OS 10.2.

Personally I have discovered the scp capability of Openssh which is delivered 
with essentially all versions of OS neXt. It works with a whole lot of boxes. 
But you do have to use a command line or a hand-written AppleScript. If scp 
doesn't work, think OS 7, curl will but it's not very secure.

Re: I was just given a G4 733 tower

2008-09-25 Thread CCorsair

Ok so if I want to use and burn with the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 I need
to Get Patchburn ?
Is ther version of Patchburn for OS 9.2.2?
I like to get a list of Known DVD/DVR that work with this systems this
would help as I cn get drive at OEM price and just need a model# to
order them from my shop.

BTW if did give better details on the system here they are

This is Power MAC G4 siver tower(not the Quicksilver) this is the
digital audio model that was before the Quick silver
the system was running OS 9.1.1 and has been updated
the system has 256 megs of PC 133 ram
2 60 or 80 gig hard drives(have to check that again) both are IBM
DeskStars
I like to replace both or one with larger drives so i like Western
Digital drives but not sure if current IDE will run on this bus on the
motherboard .
The system had Final Cut 2 and a ton of other video  software I don't
think would run under OS X.
this system came with two keyboards one the stander one and one button
clear mouse the other one set up for the video editing software.
No flat screen (sigh) the Monitor is a big gread 19' monster I would
have loved years again but now see it as some thing just too big and
heavy

the system was bought from BH Video about 5 years or so back and was
use d like one to two time and then sat gathering dust..I blown tons
off the system inside still clean very little dust

The paid over $7 for the whole system(the shipping had to be a big
part as it came to Calif from NY)
I was give it to use to make videos and need that DVD drive back up
and running  the one tha came in it was super drive and a Pioneer
model but I have had the time to get the model number. It worked once
to burn the said  and they never burnt another CD so no one knows when
it died or why ..it power up but can not read ANY media.

it ejects  any CD/DVD put in it so I think read error on the head
(early DVD drive wre very sensitive to movement) I don't know this
model very well as it when into production after I left Apple here in
Elk Grove but i know it was being back boxed her with the Cube( than i
did get to  play with in Black box it ws cool unit) I worked Night
shift and got to see and lot and work on lot that is now some great
stories.. the candy iMacs alone are a nightmare of stories.(something
for later)

the 733mhz CPU has the fan and i note clear plastic cover to better
cool the CPU


The 2 video cards are a stander 32 meg Nvida card and the second is a
32 Meg Matrox video card this is a stander card used by video editors
and systems both PC and Mac.

I like to replace on of both with cards that have more power and or
memory .

Other this is the 1.5 megs on the memory the true limit/ the are 3
slots and they're are 1gig PC133 and there was not at the time of this
system production but I know the mac have gone on to out perform
specs

Ok thanks

 Ok so if I want to use and burn with the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 I need
 to Get Patchburn ?

Only if you want to use the Apple-provided utility.

If you want to use Toast, then (almost) all drives are supported  
without further action on your part.


 Is ther version of Patchburn for OS 9.2.2?

No, just for 10.1/10.2 (obsolete, and no longer available for  
download), 10.3 (still available but not updated) and 10.4 (still  
available and possibly updated).

Apple added just about every drive there is (or was) for 10.5.


 I like to get a list of Known DVD/DVR that work with this systems this
 would help as I cn get drive at OEM price and just need a model# to
 order them from my shop.

 BTW if did give better details on the system here they are


DVR-109, DVR-110, DVR-111, for sure, and current model Lite-Ons, for  
sure.

Probably current model Pioneers and Sonys, too.


 This is Power MAC G4 siver tower(not the Quicksilver) this is the
 digital audio model that was before the Quick silver
 the system was running OS 9.1.1 and has been updated
 the system has 256 megs of PC 133 ram
 2 60 or 80 gig hard drives(have to check that again) both are IBM
 DeskStars

A QS is a DA form-factor unit, but with many internal changes.

QS processors may be installed in DAs (with a special cable), but DA  
processors may not be installed in QSes.

Otherwise, one is graphite whereas the other is silver.

Oh, the optical drive mount and the Zip drive mount are different  
(the DA uses the old BW/first Graphite method, the QS uses a method  
unique to it).



 I like to replace both or one with larger drives so i like Western
 Digital drives but not sure if current IDE will run on this bus on the
 motherboard .

Both the DA and QS are amenable to the LBA48 property update method,  
using TERMINAL, and these updates (one for the HD bus, another one  
for the optical bus) are the same for both.

As long as you don't do a reset-nvram your DA or WS will have large  
drive support. I have had such support on my lone remaining DA for  
more than six months and it never goes away as I have not done a  
reset-nvram in all that time.

750 GB drives are available in PATA, and you can install three such  
drives in either a DA or a QS.

The current drives a very power-saving ... about 12 watts. Older ATA  
drives took much more power.

 I have the Pioneer ...109 and needed no extra drivers to burn CD/DVDs
 with 10.4.x   Simple plug 'n play.

Which is why I recommend -109, 110 and 111 drives.

I have these in all my G4s and in one Intel (the other Intels have  
Lite-On).
