Re: Seemingly Dead Yosemite G3
-- Original message -- Subject: Seemingly Dead Yosemite G3 Date:Saturday, 12. February 2011 From:vacputer vacpu...@yahoo.com To: G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com My Yosemite G3 300 is failing to boot. The unit's power light comes on, the hard disk spins up, and nothing else happens. No chime, no video. I have tried everything I can. I have removed all SIMMs and replaced them with the original 64MB Apple SIMM. No joy. I have pushed the CUDA button, no joy. I have removed all PCI cards except the original RAGE 128 graphics card. I have confirmed said card's functionality in my Quicksilver G4. It works fine. I have replaced the 1/2 AA battery, but the replacement may be dead. I have no way to measure its voltage. Should I buy a new battery, or is there anything else I can try? I have used BW G3s with dead batteries before, so I don't know if the battery is the problem. Hi! When I got my Yosemite, I got it literally from the trash. After cleaning it I had the same symptom – everything would spin up, but no chime, and no boot-up. What worked for me: I removed the PRAM battery completely. If I recall correctly it worked without it after I reseated the CPU. So, that way the fault in my case: I had to reseat the CPU. Remove it, clean the the socket (using a can of compressed air), then reseat it firmly. May be worth a shot. BTW and FYI: my Yosemite still doesn't have a chime, but it works correctly.

File and image server
I'm looking for suggestions and what I want to do is be able to serve images and music from a machine on the lan. Clients on the lan will be other macs. I would like the images to either be served as thumbnails or full images to the clients. The music, when played from the application sought, play from the speakers on the client machines. Freeware is ideal, but she can pay for a good app as well. Thanks a lot.

Best to check with them. http://www.acomdata.com/ 2) To make a 4 TB from that, you'd have to RAID together two already RAIDed boxes. I don't think that will work.

Re: I have a Pioneer DVR 115

First noticed when burn a play-list from iTunes 10.0.2. Burners have a finite lifetime. Burning at maximum rated speed reduces the lifetime of the semiconductor laser. Burning at one-half rated speed could increase its lifetime, and probably reduces the number of coasters, too. But, once you start to get consistently bad burns, the drive is telling you that its life is just about over. And, once this process starts, you probably will have bad reads, too. Lite-On makes a decent IDE burner ... about $22 from NewEgg. -- 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.

If the box supports the bigger drives, it's possible that the controller will automagically RAID the drives. Otherwise they'd have to provide some sort of tool to make it do it. You haven't said the actual model name so googling around a little, on Acomdata's site it says there are no drivers - it just uses the OS provided ones. That's normal. Doesn't seem to say anything about fixing or rebuilding the raid, tools, etc. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- 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.

Download the file bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.3.sh.zip and double-click it to unzip it. The unzipped file will be called bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.3.sh. Launch Terminal, type sudo with a space after and drag the script bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.3.sh into the Terminal window and make sure the cursor is at the end, no extra spaces, Terminal is VERY picky about extra spaces, and hit the Return key. It will initiate a dialog that will ask for your admin password, and then ask if you want to create a backup of the original .plist (which probably isn't neccesary), and then it will repair the ownership permissions and will be done. It will say you need to restart, but in my experience this isn't true, the BCM plugin loads dynamically and is available as soon as Network Preference recognizes the Broadcom device as Airport. -- 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.
