Re: Using AGP 8x card in AGP 4x ADC compatible slot

2014-01-27 Thread faithie999
in my experience with flashing PC cards in a PC, i use an old PCI video 
card so that i can see what is happening to the AGP card throughout the 
flashing process.

there is a command in the NVFlash.exe tool that will let you know what slot 
each card is in, so that when you issue the command to copy the new rom to 
the agp card, you select the right card.

the strangedogs forum is long gone, i believe.  themacelite forum is all 
that's left, but it is a good place to find instructions, links to the 
flashing tool, and a good database of rim's.

 There’s a hack for adapting an standard PC ATX power supply into G4s, 
 might be cheaper and safer (no 28v line for ADC) if you’re going to try 
 your 9600XT again (assuming it’s not fried also?). Google “G4 ATX” and you 
 can find lots of info for either modding yourself, or buying something.


 Thanks for that note ... I'll be looking into that. ... I've acquired 
 several G4s with blown power supplies including  a MDD that I'd like to 
 start using, 
 (seems to me the P.S. is the most common failure on G4s - just like the 
 G5s always have coolant system troubles.)

 Back to original topic,
 I've tried all the *easy* possibilities, and am back to what you 
 suggested about the card firmware.
 I have downloaded the software and instructions, but unfortunately no os-x 
 version available so I'll have to wait until I can find a PC with an AGP 
 slot (I really never thought I'd need a PC again ! ).

Unable to enter password in Terminal

2014-01-27 Thread Zaphod
I tried to perform the terminal shutdown listed earlier, but after terminal 
asked me for my password, the cursor didn't move. I couldn't enter my 
password. I don't know what I may be doing wrong, or what is wrong with my 
settings, prefs have not been altered from default. Perplexing. Does anyone 
have any suggestions that might help?

Thanks
Fred

It does not show the password, but it is typing.
