Re: Best possible graphics card for MDD G4?
Hi Bruce, I found CHUD here: http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/downloadsaqua-ma.html But how do I use one of the apps to switch one of my CPUs temporarily off? In the Hardware Tools folder I found only Reggie SE and SpindownHD. The Release Notes mention an app called Hardware Preferences which should do the job but it's not in the CHUD folder.

10.3 doesn’t see newer HD?
I’m trying to install 10.4 on an iBook G3 running 10.3. It’s the first white one, the Dual USB, with only a CD drive, and my Tiger installer disk is a DVD. So I connected a G4 Mac (Snakebite) in target mode to use its DVD drive. But the iBook doesn’t see the DVD or the boot drive in the G4, it sees only the second HD in there, the original one with OS 9 installed. I don’t know what’s the problem. More importantly: How do I get the iBook to see the other drives too? The G4 has 10.4.11 installed and the volumes are journaled. If this isn’t possible, I plan to Carbon-copy the DVD onto an external HD with a Firewire port, then do the install with that HD connected to the iBook. I hope that’ll work at least... -- 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.
