Re: Getting OS9.1 onto MDD

2012-04-30 Thread QuoVadis
Hello Clark,

I dare say that won't work to actuallly boot the MDD, but it will work
with Classic just fine (of this I'm sure).

Reading through this link:

http://macintoshgarden.org/forum/mac-os-922-install-g4-mdd

I found out that you'll need MacOS ROM version 9.6.1 to be able to
boot an MDD into OS9, although the thread does not state the specific
machine involved. Any boot rom with a version number higher than that,
will most likely suffice.

Re: QuadG5 CPU A Runs Hot

2012-04-11 Thread QuoVadis
Hi all!

Wouldn't it make sense for CPU A to be hotter than CPU B? I don't know
much about hardware, but if Mac OS X (or any PowerPC OS acutally) uses
threading, isn't it possible that frequently used threads are
allocated to CPU A?
Or, maybe more sensible, CPU A just happens to get most threads?

Re: MDD Boot Problem

2012-03-12 Thread QuoVadis
Glen,

am I correct to assume (by all upgrades without reinstall) that a
fresh installation of 10.4.11 is not an option?
I'm thinking that the second CPU may cause the problem, as all
previous machines (except maybe the 867) seem to be single CPU
machines? It's a long shot worth investigating though; I've swapped
10.4 disks between single and dual CPU machines without problems, so
you should be able to as well.

Can you think of any software/extensions/utilities installed that
might stop the MDD booting?

Hello!

If you boot the PM G3, will the CD you're using mount to the desktop?
Can you start an install from the CD? If yes, the drive is likely in
good working order. Have you tried selecting the CD as the default
startup device in the 'Startup Device' control panel?

And indeed, OS 8.6 should boot just fine on the G3. You can also try
to boot a later OS (if you have any)!

Re: adding memory to iMac G4

Hello!

This type of iMac does indeed have one full length memory slot, but it
also has a small SO-DIMM slot (which is more commonly used in
laptops). Both modules are swappable, but finding a 512MB SO-DIMM
SDRAM stick can be tricky (and possibly costly). I think the practical
memory ceiling of the iMac G4 is 768MB. Unless, of course, money isn't
the issue.

One gigabyte of memory is the maximum you can get in an iMac G4, by
the way.

Re: G4 Powermac Video Card questions

2012-02-11 Thread QuoVadis
Hello!

AGP 8x cards work with the G4, but you'll need to undertake 1 step, as
is described here:

http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11

The reason being that Apple used pins 3 and 11 on the AGP 4x connector
to supply power for ADC monitors. The AGP 8x standard, however, uses
those pins. The net result is that a AGP 4x Mac (like your G4) won't
boot with an AGP 8x card insert in the AGP slot.

Besides the above mentioned: as long as the graphics card you're using
has a Mac ROM, no further actions need to be undertaken to make it
work in your G4.

Re: PPC Flash Player UPDATE NEWS

2011-12-07 Thread QuoVadis
Hello all,

I agree with Bruce that we're using machines that are 'principally'
outdated. Even if they do 99% of the tasks you ask them do just like a
newer machine (albeit slower).

I think mainly G5 owners have this problem, since most G5's
(especially dual or dualcore) have loads of processing power and are
still capable of surfing the web of 2011/2012. I think it's a shame
that these machines are being made obsolete not by time (they would
otherwise age like any other machine), but by their practical limits
(Flash being a major factor if you ask me).

Although, if you read the statistics hat Bruce posted, Apple has to
move on -sometime-. Regardless of the cutoff point they'd have chosen
(beit G4, G5 or first generation Intel), some users are going to
suffer from it. Might as well make the group as small as possible..

Re: Zip drive on an MDD G4

2011-12-03 Thread QuoVadis
Hi John!

I myself haven't seen a G4 MDD with a Zip-drive, but they do exist,
albeit in small numbers.

I suspect the mounting of the ZIP-drive in the MDD to be similar to
how they were mounted in preceding G4's: mounted flush to the front
panel, with the opening in the front panel having the exact shape of
the opening on the ZIP-drive. The bracket inside is a HDD bracket and
a standard PC ZIP-drive can be mounted (they don't even differ from
each other I believe).

The door/latch/panel that provides acces to the ZIP-drive simply snaps
into place on the QS, but might differ on the MDD.

Re: Pesky hardware problem

2011-10-18 Thread QuoVadis
@Don:

I think your eMac might just be too old. Here's why I think this is
the case:

I too use an eMac as my daily machine. It's the 1.25Ghz G4, has 2GB of
RAM. Everything else is standard (40GB disk, Radeon 9200 32MB).

If I want to play YouTube films on this machine, I need to select 360p
or 240p. In case of 360p I need to let it load the entire film before
playing, if I am to get a smooth framerate.
However, since YouTube is full of ads, I somtimes get an unacceptable
framerate because of one of the ads being an animated ad. To fix it, I
installed an ad-block extension to Safari to give some CPU time back
to the films instead of the ads.

Even though I get smooth playback, the machine is still loaded
heavily. Even starting Mail of TextEdit hurts framerates big time.

I'm not sure how the 1.42GHz eMac would handle this, but IIRC it also
has the 9200 onboard, with 32MB of RAM I believe. The 9200 (although
it supports CoreImage) is just not fast enough to handle YouTube
properly.

Re: Poor Airport reception

2011-10-01 Thread QuoVadis
It keeps getting better and better..

I've swapped the antenna, from a spare G4 Yikes I have. Placed the QS
in the same spot: still only one bar in the Airport icon. Placed the
QS in another spot: still only one bar. Placed it upstairs, right next
to the Extreme Base: one bar all the way.

It appears that the location of the G4 is of no influence. I do,
however, experience noise on the onboard audio output when I turn the
amplifier up a decent degree. The noise alters when disk and CPU are
accessed. I know this problem exists in it's successor, the MDD. Could
the poor reception be related to a poor ground?

I'll try to get it to work off a grounded outlet (our house was built
in 1970, with ditto electrics, so ungrounded all the way).

If someone, in the meantime, has a surge of good ideas: they're still
very welcome!

Re: Poor Airport reception

2011-09-30 Thread QuoVadis
Hello everyone.

Thank you for the suggestions so far!

I notice now that I forgot to mention that the QS itself is on the
first floor. So the setup is:

Third floor: eMac @ full reception
Second floor: Airport base
First floor: G4 QS.

I've checked the antenna again, but it is connected and only goes in
one way. I'll try to disconnect it to see if it makes any difference
(thereby discarding the antenna as a possible problem).
I'll also fit the card to my G4 Yikes, to see if that gives me the
same results. Any results I will post here.

I have one of those 802.11g dongles, but the problem is that it
connects via USB 1.1. So any advances in speed I do have are cancelled
out by the slow USB port.


@Dan: If only I could get an Ethernet cable to the G4.. I've thought
about it, but it means drilling through three walls and the floor. I
don't know about houses in the US, but here in the Netherlands
drilling through the floor means drilling through almost a foot of
concrete..

Re: Geforce 7800 locks up

2011-09-29 Thread QuoVadis
Chrales,

I too am surprised the G4 even boots without taping over any pins. I'd
strongly suggest (like other before me) to tape over pins 3  11. The
Mac Wiki has a step-by-step guide to do so and it is not difficult to
do. I myself have recently installed a Geforce FX5500 inro my G4 QS
(933MHz) which is technically the same machine you have. It didn't
boot without modification!

The reason I suggest this, is the fact that the 28 volts are supplied
to the card and they seem to 'dissipate' somewhere as your Mac boots
and works (for a while). Maybe the rogue 28 volts are causing the lock-
ups!


Greetings,

Eelco.

Re: Mail Question

2011-08-14 Thread QuoVadis
Hey Jeffrey!

You'll need to activate the BCC entry-field in Mail. Here's how:

http://email.about.com/od/macosxmailtips/qt/How_to_Add_Bcc_Recipients_in_Mac_OS_X_Mail.htm

BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) sends an exact copy of the e-mail you've set
up, but the e-mail addresses added in the BCC line will not be visible
to (at least) any recipients listed in the 'To' and 'CC' fields. Might
even be so that no one sees the e-mail addresses in the BCC entry
field!


Greetings,

Eelco.

Re: Beige G3 graphics card resolution options?

2011-08-11 Thread QuoVadis
IIRC, MacOS 9 only does 4:3 resolutions, but I have only had 4:3
monitors connected to my G3 BW. I have had my beige-which-is-actually-
platinum G3 connected to a LCD TV before, but still only 4:3.

I remember from trying to flash a PC-ROMed GeForce 6200 that I
frequently spotted 1920 x 1080 as the top resolution, but only on
machines like the BW G3 and up (i.e. ATI Rage 128, 128 Pro and nVidia
GeForce 2, 3  4). And even the BW G3 only offered 1280 x 960 and
1344 x 1008 as widescreen resolutions (both of which didn't fit my
LCD, I happen to have the 'impossible' 1366 x 768).

Just my two cents!

Re: Trouble with Thunderbird

Hi Norm.

Does this affect other e-mails of which the author/user is already in
your address book? Or does it happen only in e-mails from specific
users?
