That card was a different card, for the Cube. Older and different fasteners. It was the 1.8 GHz Sonnet Encore MDX G4 Duet upgrade for the MDD which was being reviewed, as is stated clearly on top of the review : Manufacturer: Sonnet G4 Rated Speed (CPU/Cache MHz): Encore XG4/Duet (Dual G4 1.8GHz 7447A) ...

You may be right John, and my connection is relatively slow, viz. 1 Mbps But, to summaries this thread for anyone else in a similar consideration. That is, needing to get into the intel world without sacrificing PPC and with limited $$s Thanks for all the input and recommendations. I'm leaning toward a MacBook for the added mobility.

I cloned OSX 10.4 from a G4 to a G5, and G5 doesn't boot
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone an OSX 10.4.11 partition (with all data and apps) from a PowerMac G4 DA 667 to a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7, and the G5 doesn't boot from it. (please note that the same G5 boots fine from a fresh 10.4 install on another partition) Since that G5 came originally with OSX 10.4, I thought it could boot from my 10.4.11. Is it possible for a G5 using an OSX previously installed on a G4? I can choose that partition in Startup Disk, boot from it, the screen with the grey Apple appears, but it remains stuck there. Even if I try to boot in Single-user mode (Cmd-S at startup), it shows several lines of text, but it locks before reaching the prompt. (I thought of running Applejack, but I couldn't reach the prompt) I repaired that partition, repaired the permissions and the preferences (with Disk Utility, Drive Genius, DiskWarrior, Cocktail), to no avail. Is there something I have to change/tune to make it bootable? Or is it just a G4 OSX doesn't work on a G5? I made the clone thru Ethernet file sharing, since I couldn't use Firewire target mode. At the end, CCC reported Errors encountered (all of them about Getting information...), I don't know if this could be the problem. Example follows: Error codes: 58 : 86 : 13 Error: rsync: send_files: failed to open /Volumes/HDX/usr/sbin/vpnd: Permission denied (13) I think several files weren't copied because of this. Could that be the problem? How could I say to OSX Make all the files on this disk copy-able? -- 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.
