Re: Best OS for MDD
Part of the answer is going to depend upon what you want this machine to do. What program or programs do you want or need to run on it? Will this be set in network with other CPUs or will this be a solo operating machine? While OS 9.2.2 may run fastest and use the least amount of ram, if you can't run the program(s) you need to, or can't network with other computers when using it then it doesn't help you out. Finding the balance between the needs and capabilities with speed and compatibilities is the trick.

I'm going to assume that you are concerned about using a ATA/133 pci disk interface card. If it's a 32bit (short) card it's only going to run at 33MHz. That means it may sustain a maximum throughput of 133Mbits, and just keep up with a ATA133 interface. If it's a 64bit (long) card then it will do double that so no problem (64bit cards are always going to get the best out of the G4's 64bit slots). You must have an ATA133 speced hard drive to make this improvement. PATA drives are getting rare and ATA133 even rarer. The speed improvement would be very marginal, and I would recommend looking for a 64-bit wide SATA interface instead, which would mean you can use a modern SATA drive with a big cache and a fast rotational speed. -- 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.

Installing a MDD processor in a Quicksilver Power Mac
O hai. I've got a 733MHz Quicksilver Power Mac G4, the 2001 edition. Can I install a dual 1.25GHz processor from a Mirror Drive Door G4 along with the heatsink from said MDD? Will the heatsink fit in the case?

Re: Apple update

I'm now going to make a CCC and reinstall the update again. But strange it would be on two different platforms. I just did the Safe boot and then restart like Kris wrote about and it took care of my MBP 10.6.3 but the PM G5 10.5.8 even after a reinstall of the Security update 2010-002 and the Safe Boot RipIT still fails, so I'll go back to my CCC and run that till somebody fixes this.

I think the problem is an issue with Leopard on PPC, I had the same deal earlier this year with MDRP on 10.5.8 on the G5 and G4 PMs. Also I probably don't even need whatever is on the 2010-002 update. Thank goodness for CCCs:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA Sent from my MBP -- 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.

Re: Apple update
Would re-installing the DVD software apps fix it? Thanks I ran Drive Genius 2 on the drive and reinstalled the 2010-002 update again also reinstalled the RipIT application and now it's working. The reason for running drive Genius was because CCC said I had a minor error on the transfer and the log stated an apple.finder error so disk utility couldn't fix that. After Drive genius fixed it I went all through the installs again at all's well now.

Re: Best OS for MDD
Hello, I upgraded my QuickSilver to a Newer Technology dual 1.73 GHz PowerPC G4 and have little problem beyond a protection violation once in a while; but, that is neither here nor there. MacOS 10.5 does not support classic, so I have MacOS 10.5.8 on one drive and MacOS 10.4.11 w/ OS 9.2 on another. The system normally boots into 10.5. If I wish to use 10.4 w/ Classic, I just hold down the option key when booting.

I don't believe 10.5 supports Classic.
