Perhaps some day I'll revisit this issue out of curiosity. Darn it. The 8169 ought to work, and it bugs me that it doesn't I had a similar problem not long ago getting a gigabit ethernet card (also RealTek 8169) to work, both with OS 9 and OS X. Mind you, it was with a G4 (Sawtooth) ra

Re: Xserve advice?

Thanks, that helps a lot. I actually compute most of the time with a big box fan on full next to me, so I don't think the sound will be that much of an issue. :) On a side note, the admin's office at my college is also the server room, and he's in there quite a bit of the time. His hobby? Building

Re: Xserve advice?

Hi Austin I'm using an XServe G5 2·0 GHz single processor as a desktop machine, running Leopard client. (It came with 10.3 server but I wanted Leopard for TimeMachine and didn't need server capabilities. To be honest I just wanted the coolness of having my own XServe/shiny Apple joy, alth

Help with Griffin g4Port in OSX and LaserWriter

I have a PowerMac G4 DA (OSX 10.4.11 and MacOS 9.2.2), and a LaserWriter Select 360 printer. When I switched from the Beige G3 to the G4 DA, I wanted to keep this fine laser printer, so I found and installed the Griffin g4Port (it's a little device substituting the modem card, and giving the G4 a

Re: Disabling Onboard Graphics

I'm not sure, but I have used a PCI video card with a beige G3, with Xpostfacto with 10.3.9, and had no problems even though I didn't disable the on board card. -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

Re: Xserve advice?

I had the same idea as you, but soon decided against it when i bought two of them. The first generation G4, and the second generation G4. The first one was a Dual 1GHZ, and the second was a Dual 1.33GHZ. The first one was LOUD. I mean LOUD. The second one, was still loud, but better than the first.

Re: Xserve advice?

Excellent! Thanks for the info! So, let's assume I want to just use an Xserve without the RAID for now. I can probably stand the noise (I prefer noise to deafening silence), and weren't there fans that could be put in place of a drive caddy? Could I easily set up a WebDAV server on one of these?
