Re: Xserve q
Interesting They are perfectly usable as desktop machines...if you're deaf already, and live in a climate that needs year-round heating. 8-) I almost do! Where I live, we expect August to be our warmest month. It is drizzling and 61° again today. Our summer's almost been canceled. I'll probably pass on adapting a modern server as a desktop. I realized the video limitations almost as soon as I asked the question. I like running two or three monitors off of any computer I run. That and the noise are probably the two biggest problems for me.

Re: Quicksilver trouble
If you have a different monitor you could use, try it, if it works then you have isolated your problem to the monitor itself, if you get the same results then you have isolated the problem to the CPU itself. What OS are you running? Do you run antivirus software on your machine on a regular basis? Have you had any other problems on this machine lately? The more info you can give on the hardware and software in play the better.

Re: will DA processor fit in Gigabit?
To finish off this thread (at least the title topic) and for the record: -The Digital Audio's 466MHz does fit -- as is -- into the Gigabit. So no soldering needed there, it's not even too tight. -The processor runs at 350MHz, just as Len predicted. However, I can't get the Sonnet card to work in the DA. (Right now I can't find the thread where I posted that, when I do I'll write something there as well.) Since my previous post, I discovered that a special Sonnet patch is indeed needed. The full story: 1. Do Apple's firmware update. This can only be done when booted from Mac OS 9. 2. Download and install the correct patch (they call it firmware update too, confusingly) for the Sonnet card and the OS (I think 10.4 and 10.5 is the same patch). This can be done in OS X, but you have to reboot in programmer's mode. The instructions are quite clear (or maybe they aren't, because after all I can't get the card to work...) So I installed that patch on the DA (sub-1.4GHz speed, 10.4; final message: patch successfully installed) but the computer doesn't boot with the Sonnet inside. Just now I realize that I forgot to try resetting the PRAM, but that's the only thing I can think of now. I've reset the PMMU already -- I'm not sure that's the right name; but what I did was to unplug the computer, take out the backup battery, and press the little button close to it on the motherboard. If you have any ideas what I can try more, please let me know! -- 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.

Do G5s sleep?
Greetings all, I was able to move a spare G5 (1.8GHz, DP) from my school office to home studio. At the office, sleep on the unit was not a luxury; now at home it would be a nice feature. The G5 does not sleep; when I manually put it to sleep, it goes through the motions to the point of shitting down the monitor projection, then immediately wakes up again. The OS is 10.5.8, btw. Is this a common issue with G5s? Any particular preferences to trash to reset the Energy System Preference? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

After 20 it is all down hill, I I've been going down that hill for over 30 years. However, I can't get the Sonnet card to work in the DA. REALLY stupid question. Some G4 upgrades are mhz specific. ie, they will only work in 100 OR 133 MHz bus machines. Do you know that this will work in either?
