Here are instructions for patching the ROM of the 512MB card so that it's fully recognized: http://web.archive.org/web/20081112120236/http://nvinject.free.fr/512Mb. html Oops! Not so fast, I wasn't thinking clearly. This patch was for the PC ROM so that it works in a hackintosh. I'm not certain this works for a Mac ROM or not? I'm also not sure about the DDR vs DDR2 issue you've alluded to. Thanks for the infos. There is a DDR version of the FCode ROM (for PowerPC-Macs) available. It should be possible to modify this for DDR2, but I figured that this may have been done already by some enthusiasts. Since there never was a Mac version of the GeForce 6200 in the first place, this is already a BIG modification in itself: I understood it to be a modified 6600 ROM. Great work indeed! DDR2 should be an issue of the table contents for timings and speeds (to set the correct values, or fry the card…) Anyway, thanks for responding!

Re: Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Hi David. Thank you for the response. Since copying is a Finder operation, this would translate into a force Finder to quit -wich was what was hoping to avoid. Actually I was wondering if there was any way to simply get the Mac to obey what it's told to do when you use the intended operation (stop copying).

MDD Boot Problem
Spec's: 2003 MDD dual G4 -1.25 Mhz 2 MB RAM ATI 9000 Pro Boot ROM 4.4.8f2 This MDD was newly acquired without a HD. I installed a a spare Western Digital (WDC W0800BB) 80 GB drive with OS 10.4.11 for testing purposes -- no problems with that drive, it boots fine. Then added a second 250 GB Seagate (ST3250620A) freshly erased with 2 empty journaled HFS+ partitions called Drive1 (80 GB) and Drive 2 (152 GB) Using the WD 80 GB drive as the boot drive I cloned the data and system (OS 10.4.11) from a backup of a QuickSilver drive to the empty Seagate partition called Drive 1. This will become the main startup drive for the MDD if I can get it to work. Problem: The cloned QuickSilver drive will not completely boot. The grey screen with the apple logo appears, the gear like wheel rotates for 20-30 seconds and the screen goes to a blank blue screen; mouse and keyboard have no input. What I have done to no avail: Tried jumpers set to CS and set to Master/Slave Tried a second clone using CCC. The first clone was made with SuperDuper! Tried to boot the clone from the external FireWire backup Booted in verbose mode Ran 10.4.11 combo update on Drive 1 Installed new PRAM battery Removed all PCI cards Removed the both hard drives from the MDD and installed the actual 40 GB Seagate drive from the QuickSilver Same blank blue screen on all accounts However, a fresh 10.4.11 install from the install DVD to the empty Drive 2 partition boots OK; that should eliminate problems with the MDD ATA/IDE controller or 250 GB Seagate drive. Why won't the MDD boot from the QuickSilver clone, or from Drive 1 or from the actual QuickSilver hard drive? Help, I'm running out of ideas --glen BTW the WD 80 GB drive that does boot OK was pulled from a Sawtooth a few months ago. -- 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: G5 and Airport Extreme
I don't know about removing the Åirport Extreme card from the iBook, but putting it into the G5 is not that difficult. There are plenty of instructions to be found by googling. You just have to take your time, and line everything up carefully when inserting the card in its slot. My main problem was attaching the antenna wire that's built into the G5 to the card itself... takes some nimble fingers, as it's tight quarters. My card (removed from dead Powerbook G4) worked OK with just the internal wire attached, though sometimes my airport reception, as indicated by the Airport menubar icon, would drop to just one or two bars. Once I got the little T antenna (for $12 on the Swaplist, as cited by Kris), all bars are present in the icon when connected to my home network, and I can see most of the neighborhood in the menu.

I have one in my dead G4 iBook. Could I just swap it in? It appears you could swap in the Airport Extreme card from your iBook, but... You'd need to acquire an Airport G5 T antenna because without the little T antenna you won't have good reception. There was one listed on LEM-Swap for $12 recently. You might be able to improvise an alternative antenna to make due? You'll only get 802.11g speed of 54mbps whereas if you bought any Broadcom chipset 802.11n PCI card which will recognize by OS X as Apple Airport you can get minimally 130mbps for single channel 802.11n or up to 300mbps if you get a dual-band card. If you have to buy the T antenna, you might check out prices for Broadcom chipset 802.11n PCI cards which could be a better deal in the long run? The price on your G5 is good, but get more RAM, and perhaps a better video card. -- 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.
