Re: MAC Instead of Computer Name in Router Device List?
Can installing a version of netatalk resolve any of the shortcomings -- i.e. does it add any functionality for those on 10.5 or later in regards to speaking to something like a SE30 on Mac OS 7 or OS9?

Re: NVIDIA Quadro4 750 XGL firmware hack to run on G4 933Mhz Quicksilver?
Ah... here is some info on a very similar card .. the Quadro 700 XGL working on a Mac... so I might have a chance: - http://themacelite.wikidot.com/kext-mod There is a firmware for the 700 XGL too which might work: http://themacelite.wikidot.com/wikidownloads2 Not sure if the speed differences will be something I have to be concerned about.

NVIDIA Quadro4 750 XGL firmware hack to run on G4 933Mhz Quicksilver?
I've got my hands on a Quadro4 750 XGL, an AGP 4x graphics card, and wanting to see if I can make it work on a 2002 QS G4 933mhz machine. Anyone heard of getting the Quadro4's working? According to http://guides.macrumors.com/NVIDIA_Quadro -- the Quadro line is very similar to the Geforce. One fellow apparently was able to convert a NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX/ SLI card to work as a Quadro FX 4500 but I am thinking I will need to re-flash this card the other way to get some firmware that is supported... I just have no idea what that might be.

PC133 RAM in 933 G4 Quicksilver 2002 (QS2000) -- just like they said -- no ECC RAM support
I'm sure anyone who has experience with this will know this already, and many might even say "I'd told you so", but I'd like to confirm that using PC133 CL3 ECC RAM in a G4 QS2002 -- DOES NOT WORK. I was suspicious that I might be able to use one stick of non-ECC RAM and then the other two sticks of ECC and that the motherboard ram controller might somehow see the non-ECC RAM and just work. Well it doesn't. No combination tested so far allows any of the ECC RAM to work in the machine. Adding just one stick, in any order, with or without non-ECC RAM prevents the machine in booting. For kicks I tried the ECC RAM in a blue-and-white G4 (not sure if it was 350Mhz or 450Mhz) -- zilch. Didn't work either. I had been a bit hopeful because I found online someone's comment that they had used ECC ram in their G4 Cube successfully. Also I have noticed that in my G4 QS2002 that if I used three sticks of CL2 memory the machine was crashing but that if I put that same CL2 memory in with one stick of CL3 the machine apparently slowed down all the memory access and I had no problems then with that CL2 memory. Anyway... thought that documenting this clear test might help somebody some grief someday. I tried ECC sticks from Micron, Samsung, and one or two others. None worked. The irony is that when it was new ECC memory was more expensive and now, apparently because so many servers have been decommissioned, the used RAM market has much cheaper ECC memory than the non-ECC. Now if someone can come up with a hack to let me de-solder part of the ECC stick to turn it into a non-ECC... that would be fantastic! -- 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: B&W G3 freezes
This was my thought also. Be sure to use a very limited amount of paste if you do repaste it. Please let us know what you do find might be the problem.

Re: Installer for patched KeyLargoATA.kext for limited large drive support in pre-QS2002 G4 Power Macs
Yes I am very interested in a driver that will let me easily see large
hard drives on Quicksilver G4's!
Question: I've got a QS2002 800Mhz machine with a bad IDE controller.
I put in a VTS Ultra/Tek 66 and now I am able to boot and the machine
doesn't erratically hang up any longer. Do you think your kext will
work with the Ultra/TEK 66 to get large hdd support?
ref: I think it's
Vendor ID: Ox105A=4186
DeviceID: 0x4D38=19768
Revision ID=1
PDC 20262 and Cardvendor ID is 105A

Re: 3rd party wireless pci card for MDD
re: " Broadcom 4318 modules which I have purchased on ePrey (sic) from a Hong Kong-based seller" Can you share link to a PCI card from China that is known to have Broadcom modules? I purchased one to test -- it worked great -- then bought 12 more for a lab and they all didn't work because they had different mini-PCI cards under the same labeled slot. Ugh. I know if I can find a reliable supplier with Broadcom mini-PCI modules I'd be set... these cards were like $8- each... very appealing for a lab. -- 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.

PPC kext repository?
There seems to be a lot of Intel kext development going on in the hackintosh community. Does anyone know of *any* open source or other public domain or publicly available kext PPC development? If drive source code is available how difficult it PPC kext development? I am mostly thinking about drivers for PCI cards: via chipset USB card, multiport NIC cards, SATA/PATA cards, and WiFi cards. There are a lot of inexpensive PCI components coming out now but still most are not supported on my G4. Seems if drivers could be ported it would extend the usefulness of the machines.

867Mhz G4 Quicksilver - 10.5.8 OS semi-hangs after running System Profiler
Anyone know why a G4 would sort-of hang up when trying to quit System Profiler? It looks like Finder has just quit since when I bring up "Force Quit Applications" NOTHING is listed (but I can still see the words "System Profiler" in the upper right). Brand new install of 10.5.8 on a freshly formatted drive. I've tried different RAM. At one point I thought it was a RAM problem... ran Rember for two days straight with no lock ups then added a third memory stick had the hanging OS problem. I went back the exact same config that test for two days and tried System Profiler and got the hanging problem again. Anyone experience something weird OS hanging problems like this? Seems very intermittent. I tried to update the firmware but apparently G4 Quicksilver 867Mhz has no firmware update that is available (MDD has one and the 933Mhz does but not the 867 -?) The mouse moves around fine... I can bring up the Force Quit dialog (with nothing in it) but none of the menus will respond and the hard drive won't "open" when I click on it... is my motherboard just flaking out? -- 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.
