Re: Quicksilver processor upgrade easier than expected
I see a good speed hike with InDesign and Photo Shop. Usually the processor upgrades for the Quicksilver are so expensive I haven't even considered them, but recently got a good deal - $50 - which made it reasonable.

Re: Painter X question
I have uninstalled, trashed every preference I could find, and reinstalled.

Re: BW G3 Rev 1: Main HD in Zip slot?
My last Mac was a BW R1. The controller was major heartburn. To get it to work at all, I had to keep going back to smaller harddrives. The largest one I could find that resulted in no corruption was an old 9 GB originally installed in a beige G3. I finally tracked down a new old stock Acard controller for $30 that allowed it to run 2 60 GB drives without corruption. Paul Riemerman On Apr 11, 9:44 am, Ruffin rufw...@gmail.com wrote: I've got a Rev 1 BW I received for a song, and I'm a little confused about its hard drive controller issues. It seems, after some Googling around here and xlr8yourmac, like the slave on the fast controller is always bad news, and that occasionally even the single HD on that controller can become corrupted. Is there anything wrong with following the advice here:http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list/msg/3ebab32a163d89cc ... but having that slave hard drive in the zip slot being my boot drive? Let's go ahead and assume I don't care about hard drive speed at all. Anything wrong (or better?) with putting the HD on master and moving the optical drive to slave? As far as I can tell, PCI card controllers are too expensive to consider for this box. I could buy a much newer computer for the price of the card. So I need to find the cheapest (ie, creative) solution to keep this thing from getting its data corrupted if I want to get it up and running productively. I do vaguely recall thinking that using Yellow Dog sidestepped some of the driver issues, but I can't find that now. I'd be happy with a Linux BW, if that's any safer. Thanks!

Solved sleep problem in Quicksilver
Got a new (to me) 933Mhz Quicksilver, replacing my old Gigabit Ethernet. When ever I manually put it to sleep, it would not awaken, although the power button stopped flashing after moving the mouse or hitting a key. Setting the new machine to sleep automatically after 15 minutes has fixed the problem, and mouse or key movement now awakens it. Manual sleep worked fine with my Gibabit Ethernet. Does anyone have a feel what could be causing the manual sleep difficulty?
