Re: Throwing in the Towel
Sorry I have not replied to this topic until now, but I am recovering from back surgery, and not really in the mood for getting into discussions about anything. I have a good friend who is a sort of expert on re-flashing PC video cards for the G4 PowerMac MDD and other models as well. He has re-flashed my Radeon 8500 w/128mb VRAM (which is faster than the 9000) for my own G4 PowerMac MDD. He has been running a Radeon 9800XT in his own G4 PowerMac MDD for over a year with no problems, and from my discussions with him, I will soon be upgrading my Radeon 8500 to a PC re-flashed 9800Pro, which I am buying from him. In all of my discussions with my friend about video cards for our G4 PowerMac MDD, he has never once mentioned any problems with running any model of the Radeon 9800 in his own G4 PowerMac MDD (other than the heat they produce). So, I doubt that there is only one model of the Radeon 9800 which works in the G4 PowerMac MDD, as he has tested dozens of these Radeon video cards in his own MDD and has sold or given them away to developers that are still working on PPC software and operating systems. I know that none of this helps the original poster who is having problems with his 9800, but I just wanted to let everyone else know that it can, and has been done, successfully many times. - Original Message - From: Michael McMurtrey To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 6:10 AM Subject: Re: Throwing in the Towel On Dec 14, 2012, at 5:49 AM, Richard Gerome wrote: I will hang on to the card and see if it works if I ever get a G5.

Re: Throwing in the Towel
Dave: Thanks for the info. For some reason my posts are still going into moderation ( I have written to Dan about it), so I don't know when this will actually appear... If you could put me in touch with your expert friend, I would be very grateful. I would like to get that 9800 to work, but I am at the end of my technical knowledge, and really wouldn't know what to do next, nor how to tell if there is, in fact, something wrong with the card, or something I am doing wrong. You can e-mail me at frrobATearthlinkDOTnet. Thanks, Rob J.

My Quicksilver Dual 1GHz G4 has gone bizerk ...
Would someone be willing to look at my logs to see if they can tell me what has happened? System / Hardware Configuration: OS X 10.5.8, SATA drive off an SATA PCI card, GeForce 4MX video, 1GB RAM, down from 1.5GB. After moving my hard drive with system on it to my DA Dual 533, I saved my Apple System Profiler for the previous experiences on the QS 2002, in an spx file. Symptoms: kernal panics on startup, flaky behavior with freezing up of the Finder when it did run some. Things I've tried: After removing a suspected bad RAM stick, eventually same behavior returned. After applejack cleansing, same or worse ... Immediate shutdown after startup, kernal panics I tried removing everything and cleaning all contacts, replacing them and same behavior occurred. Pressing CUDA, and doing opt-cmd-P-R. Is my cpu bad? Overheating for some reason? Will the system.log tell us what was going on? I cannot seem to find things there.

Re: What is slowing down my G 4
You might consider running applejack. There's version 1.6 now on various sites: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15667/applejack Don't know why, but it takes forever to connect to http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ as of the writing of this response. -- 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: Throwing in the Towel
Michael: A later version of the 9800 worked only of G5s (or so I've been told) and I'll bet that is the one you have. That would be my luck... Well, we'll see what happens with the 9600 when I get it. Thanks, Rob J.

Print spool question?
I had a receipt webpage that was generated as the result of a payment. I normally keep generated receipts as .pdf files by printing as Save to PDF…. I accidentally pressed Print instead of Save to PDF… and then closed the browser window, so the generated page no longer exists, I think it was a pop-up window?. The printer was turned off, so the page never printed, but is most likely cached in the printer spooler. Is there any way to retrieve this receipt as a PDF file? I'm on a G5 w/10.5.8 and an HP PSC1210 printer. I suspect I'd need to print the page and then scan it to PDF, rather than being able to locate the stored file which isn't a PDF. -- 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: Print spool question?
Yes, I'd bet you'll see it there, but only for printing. Good news is that you still have the receipt, most likely.
