Any recommendations for a solid state drive for a Pismo?
I bought a used 500 MHz Pismo with a dead hard drive, and I'm thinking of replacing it with a solid state drive. I don't need one that's very big - 16 GB or so should be fine. I'm not very familiar with SSD's and it seems like it could be tricky to find one that's a reasonable price and works well. I'm hoping that some people here have enough experience with them to make some recommendations. Conventional laptop drives seem to me to be less than durable, but I'm also open to recommendations for one that is. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

RE: Any recommendations for a solid state drive for a Pismo?
There is nothing wrong with laptop drives if they are good to start with. I have 2 Lombards, a Wallstreet and a Pismo ( plus a host of older 1400, 2400and duos etc ) which all have either new or secondhand drives from Seagate, Toshiba or Fujitsu ( I don't like IBM laptop drives - bad experiences with a couple of friends laptops that I upgraded). These have all been solid performers over the years. My Pismo ( 500MHz 512mb Ram and OS10.4.11) is my main work machine so I bought a 7200 RPM Seagate 60Gb HD for it and it made a noticeable speed difference. Most of the other drives have been bought cheaply secondhand. SSD's look good and their performance seems to be great but they are very expensive. I bought a PCMCIA to CF adapter ( $6 ) plus an 8Gb PNY Compact Flash card ( $22 ) that I partitioned into two and put OS9 and Tiger on as an emergency boot drive and it works well. It is probably on par speed wise as the existing hard drive in the Pismo. Stewie Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:46:17 -0700 Subject: Any recommendations for a solid state drive for a Pismo?

Scsi+leopard
Howdy, Anyone had fun using an atto ul3d pci scsi card under leopard? I've got the card (as an unexpected bonus in my ebayed powermac!), and now a few fast drives on the way (thanks swaplist!). I've tried a few googles but mostly got quite old info from 10.2 days, or drivers to download for up to 10.4, but nowt for 10.5. Also, assuming I get it working, I'll be running two of the disks as a raid 0, mainly just to have a roomier boot volume (two 36gb drives better than one), and any performance gain would just be a bonus. That said, would this potential performance gain be better exploited having the drives each on a seperate scsi channel from the card? If it helps, I'll be running whatever version of leopard we're up to now, on a dual 1.25 ghz firewire800, with 2gigs of ram. Ill keep a clone of whatever's on the scsi drives on various old IDE drives, along with most of my data. Cheers for any thoughts!

I've read that you can raid 0 your boot volume; never seen it. IMO, it's not a good plan - there are just too many ways that systems get screwed up. Adding the problem of having your data spread out across multiple spindles (raid 0, data striping)... what a debug nightmare. Just leave your boot volume alone, on the internal ide bus. If you see, with Activity Monitor, that your i/o demand is swamping it, then *maybe* consider moving the swapfiles. (Except for doing some real-time data capture WHILE encoding, in a single-drive configuration, I've never seen OS X truly swamp out its boot volume). Use your raid array for your user big data, high-demand video work, etc etc etc. FWIW, - 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.

Date:Sonntag 11 Oktober 2009N From:Kris Tilford ktilfo...@cox.net To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com According to xBench GeekBench archives, Leopard's about 20-25% slower than Tiger for PPC Macs, while counterintuitively running about 15-20% faster for Intel Macs. Where did you take these figures from? I could only find a 4% slow down for Leopard versus Tiger on a 867 MHz G4 with 1 GB of memory. http://lowendmac.com/ed/royal/09sr/leopard-vs-tiger.html Just thought I'd report my DA Dual 533 Xbench timings which showed a 15% decrease in overall score from Tiger (35.80 / 10.4.11) to Leopard (30.53 / 10.5.8). (35.80-30.53)/35.80 * 100 = 14.7% I chose Leopard just the same, to be in better sync with my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz which is also running 10.5. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Classic on an MDD (FW800) running 10.4.11
So I purchased this MDD on eBay sometime in the last year. The seller wiped the drive and put a fresh install of Tiger on it. With the machine, I also got the retail DVD of Tiger, still in the box. I didn't do much with the machine. Just played around a little. The other day, I decided to reinstall Tiger because I've never installed OS X before. All the machines I get already have a fresh install on them. I thought it would be a good exercise. I did it. Everything is fine. Then I started thinking about getting Classic to run on this machine. I don't remember that being part of the installation of OS X. I've looked through the DVD and I don't see any install for OS 9 on the Tiger disc. I've got a copy of a retail install CD for OS 9.2.1 and an original install CD for OS 9.2.2 (for iMac). I've never used either of these discs. I thought I'd give them a try. I can't boot either disc (when holding down the C key at power-on). Is this because I've got a FW800 model? In the Finder, they show up just fine. When I try to launch the Mac OS Install on the CD, it says Classic is starting and then gives me some noise about the volume (the CD) being read-only. After that, the Classic icon showed up in System Preferences. How can I install OS 9 on this machine? Quite some time back I copied OS 9 from one iMac G3 (running OS 9.2.2) to another iMac G3 (running Tiger) via an external USB drive. This seemed to work fine to get Classic going (except that I can't boot to OS 9 for some reason -- and, yes, the hard drive has the OS drivers installed). While I can probably do that again, I'm really interested in actually going through the installation procedure of OS 9 on this machine (I don't think I've ever done that either). Any advice that you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Download this version: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243#English Install booted under OS X, it's an OS X installer package. Remove the two netboot extensions from the System folderExtensions folder. Should work perfect as Classic if you installed OS 9 drivers on the HD or partition. I don't know if it will boot, but if it won't, there may be a way to get it to boot with a little tweaking. I don't think Classic is very viable in this modern internet world, so I'd try to use it minimally, and OS 9 is fastest as Classic, so use it booted under OS X whenever possible. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
