Re: data transfer so sllooowwww on G4 MDD?
I bought a new Real USB 2.0, 3 port (i said 4) card from Computer Renaissance for $19.99. It says it's for Windows 98 threw XP. No Mac listed anywhere. But it was plug-n-play. I just don't use the driver c.d. (it's for windon't) that came with it. Tested it, 7.5gb in 3 mins or so (unlike 8 hours for USB 1.0)... S I don't think it's the card, it's the drivers. I'm using tiger 10.4.11 all updated. In about this Mac, it's seeing as a Hi-Speed USB. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 24, 2010, at 6:20 PM, Albert Carter wrote: This is interesting.

It's wired with home sharing on, but I just want to have it as a back up on other computers.

MDDs only have USB 1 onboard. The theoretical speeds are 12MBits/ second for USB 1 vs 400 for firewire and 480 for USB 2. 88 hours seems a little slow, but moving that quantity over USB 1 is going to take many hours. If your MDD only has the original USB and no add in cards and the My Book only has a USB 2 interface, it would be well worth it to pick up a USB 2 card for your MDD.

Yoy are using USB 1 ; unless you installed USB 2 card; USB 1 is slow On Mar 24, 2010, at 15:44, Demetrius wrote: > trying to move a few hundred gb from my MDD to new Western Digital "My > Book Essential" 1TB drive, but it's going agonizingly slow... says 88 > hours for 250 gb and seems to be actually moving at that pace... it's > a usb connection, and i reformatted the drive into two partitions. > any idea why it's so slow? > > -- > 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. > The list FAQ is at http://lowendmac.com/lists/g-list.shtml and our netiquette > guide is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to g3-5-list@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > g3-5-list+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words > "REMOVE ME" as the subject. > have a nice day Michael Koch mk...@ncwcom.com -- 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.

data transfer so sllooowwww on G4 MDD?
trying to move a few hundred gb from my MDD to new Western Digital "My Book Essential" 1TB drive, but it's going agonizingly slow... says 88 hours for 250 gb and seems to be actually moving at that pace... it's a usb connection, and i reformatted the drive into two partitions. any idea why it's so slow? -- 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: QuickSilver G4 1.0Ghz DP help
congrats. you snagged a great deal. the temp you noted qualitatively w/ your fingers is quite normal for the 1.0DP. also, if the CPU fan is disconnected or not working, the computer will automatically shut down. you can see this for yourself if you pull the leads to the fan off while it's running. if you want, you can apply thermal grease to the surface of the processor chips and reseat the heatsink. i *hesitate* to recommend this, because the average person will apply 10,000% too much thermal grease, and make the situation worse, not better. the grease must be used EXTREMELY sparingly, just enough to fill the contact gaps between the chip surface and the heatsink surface. if you apply more and separate the processor chip from direct contact with the heatsink, you can cause the processors to fry. thermal grease is NOT a better thermal conductor than direct contact. if you've ever wiped up a spill and seen a thin film left behind, that is the thickness of thermal grease that would improve the cooling capacity of the heatsink. no more. the CPU fan IS on the top. *top* is relative to the location of the CPU, not the center of the earth. ;o) if you are not running an optical drive or ZIP drive (which was common in QS's), you could reroute the molex power cord that normally connects there. and four HD's should be no problem for the PS. just more heat. try to spread them out as much as possible. this will mean getting some longer IDE ribbons. jt On Mar 23, 9:32 pm, Albert Carter wrote: > All, > > I recently got a QuickSilver G4 1.0Ghz DP for 25 bucks I was informed it > was freezing up but the previous owner thought it might have been RAM > related.
