D-BAN is great for Windoze and Linux (my boyfriend has it for his Linux boxes). However, OS X's Disk Utility offers -- if you clickOptions after you select Erase -- Zero Out, which writes zeroes all over the disk, plus two more called 7-Pass Erase and 35-Pass Erase, which write data to the drive 7 and 35 times, respectively. To the best of my knowledge, the 35-Pass Erase is D-BAN equivalent. The 35-Pass Erase also takes half a century (er, well, you know what I mean). However, if I was going to sell my hard drives, I would definitely 35-Pass erase them first. When I get a new used HD, I do a blind (just run, don't look) 7-Pass erase on it before formatting for my own use. I'd do the 35 in this case too, but it really does take a long time, and, not only do I not look on the new drive first, well whatever might be on it, it's not MY data! So I personally only recommend the 35 if you're planning to SELL the drive to someone else. Not everybody chooses to be as blind as I do. -- 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.

CCC and USB: Preparing New HDDs
Hi Listers, I think this is probably a quickie -- nothing's broken, nothing's critical, I'm still in the thinking stage concerning installing bigger internal HDDs in my Quicksilver (HDDs I purchased almost 2 years ago so you see how critical this really is huh? LOL) My 2-HDD QS 867 is CCC backed-up to to my USB external HDD -- 2 HDDs, one Tiger 10.4.11, the other Panther 10.3.2. So is my G4 Mini (OS X Tiger 10.4.2) and my G3/800 iBook (OSX Tiger 10.4.11). Each Mac has its own partition on the external drive. Now I know that the only way a CCC'ed external backup is actually bootable, is if you're trying to boot an INTEL Mac with it; non-Intel Macs like mine need Firewire to boot from an external, which I no longer have (the only enclosure I could GET when my faithful old LaCie with FW finally died was USB). OK. So my question is: If I transfer the brand newly updated contents of my external HD to a new (much bigger) internal HD -- via USB and my Magic Cable -- and have that big new loaded-with-all-my-stuff HD *installed in the Quicksilver*, will it boot the Quicksilver as-is, or will I have to run an Archive-and-Install from the Tiger DVD?

Radeon 9600 from G5 – possible upgrade for G4?
Hello! I'm just wondering: will an ATI Radeon 9600 Dual-DVI AGP card work in (every) G4 Power Mac?

I ask particularly because I keep reading in eBay item descriptions that some cards will work in G4's from the AGP up to the QS, but not in the MDD. Why is that? Also, a very old forum posting indicates that a modification is needed: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=163238 The included link is dead. Any comments on the info, that the Radeon 9600 needs to be modified to work in older G4 Macs? I'd like to upgrade a MDD (non-FW800) using such Radeon 9600 Dual-DVI. I'm planning on upgrading my QS (2001) with the Radeon 9000 from the MDD thereafter. So I'd have a double benefit.

Re: M-Audio Revolution 7.1 and Power Mac G4
Well, it's an old sound card for an old machine. I'm not really counting on any support. Just looking for digital sound (music, not movies) that's a cut above and more control over it (no real complaint about the stock card), future speaker options, and also headphone volume that could damage my hearing if I wanted it to. Not that I even like to use headphones anymore, but it's a good option to have, and the lack of real bass response in any headphones is made worse by ridiculously low line-level volume. I thought there would be a simple and cheap fix for this - I can't be the only person in the world who likes their music *loud* - but everything I found was complicated and expensive. Despite all the problems I've had with this card, when it does work, it sounds great. I'm no musician, sound engineer, or even an audiophile, but the Revolution is a very good sounding card, even though it's relatively long in the tooth. I've since found better sounding cards, but at the time I got it it was a revelation. Too bad the driver support has decayed so badly over the years. Note that I can only speak to the analog output - I've never had digital speakers, and can't see myself getting any in the near future. I also like my music loud - it really helps me hear the detail in the music, even for slow music that would normally be played softly. For the most part, I hate living in a house (yard work, ugh), but the one thing that really makes homeowning pay off for meis being able to crank my music as loud as I like.

Re: Help - Anyone with OS 9.1 install disk for a G4 Digital Audio?
That could be the case - the firmware has been updated on this machine. I need 9.1 because I'm trying to get a pci-gpib card working in this machine, and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 both give me heap errors/crash on stratup. The National Instruments website that has the drivers for this card say they support the card to 9.1, with no support after that (on Mac OS, they do have OSX drivers). I also have 10.4.11 running on this machine, and using those OSX drivers it doesn't have the heap error that 9.2.2 has, and the diagnostics program for the gpib says it finds the card on the pci bus, but it can't 'read' the card. This card works flwalessly in a Mac 9500, as well as windows 7, so it's not the card. Seems to be a problem with this card with this machine (digital audio G4). I might just go anotehr route and try a usb to gpib adapter - and stay away from the PCI bus with this machine.

Skype 2.8 on G4 - does desktop share work?
I recently installed the most recent version of Skype that runs on a PowerPC Mac on my dual 1.25 G4 MDD. This works fine for making voice calls and sharing text information using the chat function. However, when I tried to share my desktop the other party said the image was grainy to the point of being useless. On my end, the computer slowed down horribly, almost to a standstill. I was trying to work on a remote server through an ssh connection in Terminal and commands put into Terminal would take tens of seconds to minutes to be sent out and execute. This MDD has 2GB RAM and an ATI 9800 video card. My impression is that this video function in Skype is not making use of the graphics card at all, just totally tying up the CPUs. Or might it be that it was totally tying up the on-board ethernet I/O? Audio was fine the whole time... Have any of you ever used video chat with Skype on a G4? My understanding is that the desktop share uses the same protocol. If video chat doesn't work, then desktop share probably won't either. If you have gotten video chat working with Skype on a G4, how did you do it and how well did it work?

Well, I own a G4 DA, and I might have the disk you're looking for. :-) The disk set I have, contains four CDs: two grey (Software Install + Software Restore), plus iMovie 2 and Apple Hardware Test. Here are the codes on the discs: - Software Install: SSW version 9.1 - CD version 1.4 - T691-3013-A - Software Restore: SSW version 9.1 - CD version 1.4 - T691-3014-A Honestly I never used them, since I bought the G4 used, and I transferred my previous HD into the G4. The discs seem loading fine. Please notice this disks are the Italian version. It shouldn't make a real difference in OSX (since you can choose the language the system is using), but it could be in OS9. Let me know if I can help you.

Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good alternative to time machine that will run on my DA 733mhz Power Mac? My old quicksilver ran 10.5 and I am just looking for something that can perform a similar function as time machine on Leopard. -- 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: Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
I use Carbon Copy Cloner. (CCC). It's free, and will do a total backup. I'm not sure how similar it is to Time Machine, but you CAN schedule backups with it. I use a Hackintosh with two 1TB hard drives, and everyday at 4am the main drive gets cloned onto the other drive. -Jonas -- 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.

Thanks. That is basically what I need it to do so I can make backups. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 10:18 PM, Jonas Ulrich jonasulrich3...@gmail.com wrote: I use Carbon Copy Cloner. (CCC).

importing iphoto files.
Thought I'd give this another try... Transferring iphoto files from my pismo to a g5. The pismo has iphoto 3 installed. The g5 has v.6 iphoto installed with the ilife 6 package. I burned the files onto cds using the burn feature on the iphoto 3. Today I think I was successful in impporting them onto the iphoto 6 library by using the FileImport to Library command. It went through all the motions of importing the files, but at the end of the importing a popup screen said The following files could not be imported(they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data). And then a whole list of /Volumes/iPhoto Disc/iPhoto Library/2010/02/04/Data/ 10 /Volumes/iPhoto Disc/iPhoto Library/2010/02/04/Data/10.attr ect. comes up. The pictures are in the library now, but I'm not sure if I'm goofing things up since this dialog box is coming up after importing? Thanks again.

Re: M-Audio Revolution 7.1 and Power Mac G4
Here's the lengthy Forum Thread that I spent way too much time discovering these simple truths: Apple: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa? threadID=1910640tstart=57 M-Audio: http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?t=3856 Thanks, Bill. Though I'm not looking to M-Audio for anything I'd record my own music with (I wouldn't dare, after what I've read), your experience echoes the overall tenor of what I've read elsewhere. Frustration. So the hardware is good and the drivers suck and support does not exist. The driver situation doesn't bode well. Anything could happen. Support, well... since when could I expect support for a Sawtooth or anything I could possibly put into it (aside from this here list itself, of course)? Unfortunately, for my machine, one of the M-Audio Revolutions seems to be the only game in town. I've seen them on eBay for cheap, but I have no experience with eBay and no trust. At the right price, the M-Audio could be worth taking a chance on. I guess I'll keep an eye on LEM Swap for a while. Over and out.
