jumper settings on optical drives

2011-02-03 Thread Deiniol ap Deiniol
Hi Group: When I got my dual 1.2GHz MDD a few months ago, I found it had two optical drives fitted, although only the upper one was functional. Clicking the 'open drive' icon showed one drive: the button always opened the top one and sometimes the lower one would open too. As I had it out of

Once I had a card that put out full 1080p resolution in my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver Single 800mhz. It was a great card but I cannot remember which one it was, I have about 30 cards around here for PC and Mac, so I would have to test them one by one in the PowerMac -Jeremiah

The MDD should show both optical drives (mine does); the first and easiest thing I would try is to blow out both drives with a can of compressed gas. Sometimes a little dust gets in and interferes with the laser just enough to mess with you. On Feb 3, 5:48 am, Deiniol ap Deiniol

I did try drive 0 as slave and 1 as master - no change, also both as cable select - no difference. Is it perhaps a firmware issue, either with the G4 or the non-Apple drives perhaps? Early optical drives installed by Apple preferred Master, even though the optical cable is indeed of the

The BW G3 doesn't support drives over 128 GB on its main drive bus, but the UltraATA 66 bus used by the optical drives supports so-called Big Drives - and it's twice as fast. The HD bus is Ultra/33 (33 MB/s). The Optical bus is DMA (16.67 MB/s). Both buses can support large drives using the

Since the Mac Pro Mac Intel lists seem to be all but dead I'll ask this here. Apparently the current Mac Pro use 3 channel memory, which if I understand correctly means that you'll get better performance on a SP with 3 identical sticks of RAM than you would with 4, and with 6 instead of 8 on
