Re: USB/FW/other Panel Replacement
There is a unit they sell at Geeks.com that has 4 USB 2.0 ports that go in a drive bay slot and use the drive's power connector. I have it in my Smurf and the 4 ports just fit in the fascia slot for the old Zip drive. I had to install it upside-down to get the perfect vertical alignment - no big deal. Especially considering the $6.99 it cost. Of course, you need a USB2.0 card to plug the internal connector into, which I already had.

I've noticed that sometimes RAM sold as slower RAM is actually a faster variety. You need to inspect the individual chips on each module to determine how fast they are. When faster RAM is sold as slower, it will normally be labeled as the slower RAM, and will sometimes identify to the system as slower RAM, but an inspection of the individual chips in the sure way to know the speed. I believe this occurs because it's simply cheaper to produce newer faster chips on smaller dies than the older slower chips. Also, larger modules can be made with less total chips. Thus, new RAM labeled as PC66 or PC100 might in fact be PC133 modules simply labeled as PC66 or PC100. The same holds true with video cards, sometimes video cards have faster VRAM chips than the card's firmware specifies, and these cards are normally able to be safely overclocked to whatever speed the individual VRAM chips support. When older slower chips run out of stock they simply continue production using newer faster chips. O-h-h-h .. Thanks for the clarification!

Re: MDD bad RAM 3 beeps: I'm feeling even dumber than usual
First, Bill, thank you for reply at all. I see you're the only one with the courage to wade into this mess. To clarify where things stand now: •One 867 works perfectly. •The 1.25 used to boot and run, except it didn't recognize its DVD drive. Now it gives the 3 beeps. •The other 867 used to give the 3 beeps. Now it does nothing but run its fan. No chime, no beeps, no power-on light. After about 10 seconds, the fan switches to Tornado mode and stays there. Your suggestion about using the good machine as a test bed for parts seems like a very smart one. Thanks.

Eventually, after some stumbling around, this turned out to be a sweet-running (if somewhat noisy) Mac that's now being enjoyed by my son. Ok, let me get this straight: Of the three machines, the 1.25 was working other than the DVD drive, plus you got one 867 working for your son. The third one is comatose? Or is the 1.25 also not booting? Or you somehow managed to fubar both 867s? In short, what works? The other two, though, are another matter. Eventually, I punted and started swapping around both RAM cards and CPUs. I had two old and small RAM cards, four newer 2700-speed 512 RAM cards, one older/slower CPU card, and one newer/faster CPU card. In the course of ineptly testing the slower machine, I ran it for about 30 seconds without the heat sink on the 867 card. Bye-bye 867 card. (Yes, I know. Dumb.) Now I have the faster CPU, both chassis, both machines' hard drives with Tiger on them after the previous owner wiped them and reinstalled the OS, a CD drive, a DVD drive of unknown condition, and the aforementioned proven-good RAM cards. Current state: Both machines, when fitted with the remaining CPU and either hard drive, give the interrupted chime and 3 beeps that is supposed to mean all the RAM is bad. I did the pencil eraser and shove 'em in real good drill. Makes no difference whatsover. I'm just about the point of recycling the whole mess. I'll be happy to provide recycling service for you. I won't even charge you for shipping ;-) What I'd do is to take the RAM out of your son's working 867 and, one at a time, put the bad RAM in and see if it boots. If they're all testing good there, then you can start putting them in the non-working 867 (one at a time) to see if you can get it to boot. Don't forget to hit the CUDA switch. Or whatever it's called these days. If they all work in your son's 867 and not in the other, there's a possibility that you have a problem with the RAM slots. You might also try swapping the bad 867 processor into the working machine to see if you *really did* cook it.

Actually towards the end of the widespread use of PC-100 standard, a lot of PC-100 DIMMS were shipped that were actually PC-133 parts, since they could use use marginal chips of a higher speed in a lower speed item, usually with success, thus salvaging some value form chips that would ordinarily be thrown out; they may not run reliably at PC-133 speeds, but they'll often work, somewhat.

So, here is the real story: On my G4 I have 2 hd one has 2 partitions with 10.2 in one and 10.4 in the other the other hd is just storage. I decided to check the hds and ran command+s so that I could in turn run /sbin/fsck -fy for 10.4 it came back fine, but for 10.2 it reported failure. I ask the list for help, since when I moved ALL the stuff off the 10.2, so as to clear the directory and save the partition, I found some 3 Gb yet no known reasons. It was suggested that I get a program Disk Inventory X to see the disk and it showed lots of stuff. Since I had already stripped the 10.2 partition and was now finding invisible files, this program would let me remove them as this was the goal. I wanted to test what I was doing, so I started with the first most listing and moved it to the trash, emptied the trash and did a restart to see if all was well - to my astonishment I found myself in the sign on set up to name the NEW ADMINISTRATOR AND NEW PASS WORD. I panicked. OMG what is going on. I rechecked the display from Disk Inventory X to see the picture. There is NO WAY TO MAKE AN ERROR when you have to select the disk partition - it turns blue - and then build the picture, so I am sure I was NOT ON THE 10.4 partition. This damage, as astonishing as it is, meant all the passwords and cookies are now gone, but Wait there is the original user name in the users folder, but only the NEW ADMINISTRATOR account exists due to this problem. What to do? IDEA: Since in the new user account the browsers create new cookies and bookmark files, if I could only find them in the old user account and simply move them to the new user account replacing the newly created files, all damage would be resolved. Now you all know why suggestions about upgrade and downgrade stuff is not the issue, but is is the only way I was able to get the question posted on the list. This is not my fault. Had my original posters been published, it would not have been necessary to beat about the bush so much to try to fine the file names of the cookies and the bookmarks.

Re: Why are you (still) using PowerPC-based Macs?
I'm still using PPC Macs because the only Intel based ones I can afford are pathetic. There isn't a worthy replacement for my hi res Powerbook G4 that doesn't have major faults until you get to the nVidia 9400/9600 graphics models. I will not buy any Mac with Intel graphics or where the video chip gets glitchy (X1600) or burns up over time (8600M GT). On Jan 21, 3:08 pm, Mac User #330250 macuser330...@gmx.net wrote: Hello fellows of the G-Group! I was just thinking about the future. I've just made an old G3 BW working again (it was wasting space and picking up dust for about two years or more) and it is now in my office. I've installed Tiger and it is just okay working with it, in other words: it is slow. Where was I? Ah, thinking about the future... Apparently Apple has finally dropped all support for Tiger. That was forseeable, it doesn't come as a surprise. I am wondering: I read so many postings here about people buying or working with Power Macs and G3/G4-Laptops. As operating system you're all running Mac OS X, some are still on Mac OS (which I call Classic, because I've joined the Mac world two years ago so the term seems fit to me). But why? (Why Power Macs _and_ why Mac OS X?) All newer software will be for Mac OS X/Intel very soon. Some of you may be using Leopard already, but it is now also just a question of time when it will be dropped as well. And this is dropping PowerPC support alltogether. If Apple does as they always do, Leopard support will be dropped with the release of the successor of Snow Leopard. Since Snow Leopard is already 6 months out, PowerPC users are safe for another two years or so. But that will be it. Dead for good. No more. The end. So why bother with the G3-G5 anyhow? On the other hand you can all convert to Linux. Linux was and will be running on PowerPC for at least another decade (-- my personal opinion). So if Mac OS X is now longer an option, you can always go the Linux way. But as I think of it, you will all be very unhappy with Linux. Mac OS X is really the best when it comes to being user friendly and easy to use for everyone (beginners but also experts; and geeks off course). I'm now in this situation. My G3 BW runs Tiger. I use it in my office for writing documents (Word 2004, OpenOffice.org Writer 3.1.1 and Bean), for making spreadsheet calculations (Excel 2004 and OpenOffice.org Calc 3.1.1) _and_ for surfing in the world wide web. And the last part is the problem. With Tiger no longer being supported the recently discovered security flaws are no longer being fixed. Surfing the internet will become more dangerous. Newer browsers will be (Snow)Leopard-only. Tiger support will be dropped in the forseeable future. Using old browsers (with ahellofalot unfixed security flaws not yet discovered) will also make the situation worse. (Like running Panther and being bound to use Firefox version 2.0, which is not a good idea if you ask me.) So: why bother with Gs? I've read, I think it was the Geekbench homepage, that the switch to Intel was a boost in performance to the Mac world. And I agree. Intel Macs are just... well, Macs! It doesn't make a difference if the hardware is PowerPC or Intel x86 -- as long as the operating system doesn't show any difference at all -- which it doesn't. Work on an Intel Mac and you won't notice anything, except that it is faster than any Power Mac you've ever used. Period. To clarify one thing: I'm only having Power Macs standing around at home and the one in my office. I got them as presents since they were no longer used in the company of a friend. So he thought I could use them still, which I do by the way. Just one I bought myself: a Late 2005 G5 with 2.0 GHz Dual-Core. It is nice, but really Leopard isn't using all its power (like 64-bit). _But_ my perspective was always to run Linux on it, just like I did -and do- with all my x86-PCs. So for me it was mainly a new experience and to see if I could manage a difference hardware architecture with Linux. I've also entered the world of Mac OS X -- which is a great OS by the way -- and got stuck with using Tiger daily on my G3 BW. I love it. Something different for a change.

Not really, I tried pulling the pram battery reseting the power manager, the basics.

This is a little out of my area of expertise, I've never had much experience with G4 PowerMacs, but I thought that both the 533 DA 733 QS were considered road apples because of their miniscule L2 cache? The normal size of a 733 QS L2 cache IS 256 KB, so if that's what you're seeing, it IS correct. It would seem advisable to get a different CPU with a larger L2, irrespective of whether this L2 is functional or not. Also, I've seen that message in OS 9 before on Macs that would also boot OS X, for example, I've got an old PowerBook 3400 with both OS 9 and OS 10.3.9 installed. In OS 9 I see the message, but in OS X, System Profiler shows the L2 cache and says it's functional. I decided that the warning in OS 9 was likely wrong, but I'm not 100% sure. There is an old utility from NewerTech called Gage Pro 1.1 which if I remember right will show your L2 functionality in OS 9. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
