Re: Crashes and keyboard freeze on MMD
Downloaded Applejack, ran Memory test on single 512 stick that came with. Passed with flying colors. Added back the additional RAM and ran Memory test again... CPU panic and hang. Had to use power button to shut down. Test at time of panic; Walking Zeroes :testing 29 of 64panic(cpu 0 caller 0x000A4EC8): simple lock (0x003DA020) deadlock detection, pc=0x00033564 Does this mean bad RAM or problems with the logic board or processor? Bruce Johnson john...@pharmacy.arizona.edu Apr 23 09:32AM -0700 From the sounds of it all of your RAM may be flaky or it's a bad logic board, BUT, you have not tried: 1) Run Applejack http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ which also includes a handy memory test module that works well. This will tekll you pretty quickly if you have a flaky DIMM slot or bad ram. 2) Started in safe mode, eliminating most third-arty extensions and drivers. 3) Logged in as a different user, to eliminate userspace issues like corrupted caches and preferences. -- 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: Crashes and keyboard freeze on MMD
This morning 12 hours later I cannot get this computer to boot. I get the normal start up chime/bong then once it lights up the monitor I have a black rectangle on a grey screen or just the apple in the center of the grey screen. Once with the 'C' key held down and the cd in it gave me the same except the rectangle had the you need to restart your computer text in it. Tried booting into single user mode, it boots up to the exact same hang screen and message as last night. This screen will not accept any keyboard input. Tried booting with the option key, I get the selection of start up disks but it only goes to the blank you need to restart your computer screen when I try to start it. The only thing I have not tried is booting into OS 9 which I'm not sure if this machine will do. It seems stuck in Applejack and Single user mode. Any tricks that I don't know about to make it boot to OSX? Or is this a fatal error? Could this hang cause any possible problems with the HDD?

Quicksilver optic drive
The optical drive door hinges open at the bottom of the door. It is quite easy to open the door with a finger nail or carefully with a sharp object. Once the door is open you will see the front of the drive its self with it's paper clip hole. From there I think you will know what to do.

Lost Ethernet port
I have a strange occurrence that I wonder if any one can shed some light on. I have been struggling to get my new (1 Month) Linksys E2000 router to play nice with my old Speedstream 5100B modem. In the process of trying different changes, configurations etc. with limited understanding. My ethernet port on my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz simply quit working. I was having to switch the cable back and forth from modem to router to be able to access the different configurations. At first the modem would go online connected direct to the computer but after several hours I realized that it was not working. No internet, no access to configuration in either box and no port connection light on the router. Different cable, same story. In frustration I took a break and decided to try from the boys computer. It connected to the respective boxes individually OK. About that time I loaded the router install DVD and read enough in the instruction manual to reset the router to factory defaults. Hooking modem and router back together and running the install program got both back working together again. About then I phoned ATT DSL Tech support and spent another fruitless 45 minutes changing configurations around some more but this time I was careful to shut down the boxes or sleep the computers before un and re plugging the ethernet cable. After that waste of time I reset to defaults again and reran the setup wizard, copied to a flash drive and reset up all my other computers. Last figuring that there was probably no chance I ran the set up on my QS and Lo and Behold the ethernet port is working again. Have had a week of trouble free operation so far. Has anyone any ideas about what happened to cause this port to quit like this and then come back? -- 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.

Flashing a PC video card if you do NOT have a PC
I understand the confusion of deadwinters post helo? Anyone? under the subject Flashing PCI cards if you do NOT have a PC. I too have been somewhat confused by the answers to the question. I don't know about deadwinter but my problem is likely due to my age (really old). And a lack of some the foundational experience that all you experts have. So I'll change the subject line to be more accurate to my question. Which is can you flash a PC video card for use on a MAC if you don't have access to a PC? I think we first need a clear Yes or No to; PCI Video cards and a clear Yes or No to AGP Video cards. If any are yes then please point us to the appropriate web sites etc. Thanks -- 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.

Flashing PCI cards if you do NOT have a PC
This may be a dumb question but can one flash an AGP card if you do NOT have a PC?

Re: Newly installed 9200 video card won't wake up UPDATE
After going through all the resets with no changes I decided to pull the card again and noticed a difference in one of the gold foil contacts on the board. It was kind of crumpled up as if it peeled off the board during insertion. My question now is : Is there a way to repair such a tiny contact?
