I replaced the 266 MHz G3 with a 450 MHz G4 and changed the jumper position to get a 83.3 MHz bus x 5.5 = 458 MHz G4. It has run flawlessly for a month under 9.2 and OS X 10.2.8. The G4 chip I am using has a bad L2 cache, nevertheless I wanted to try again to enable it so I kept trying all known cache enablers. The result was a very bad crash.
After that I can only boot off the OS 9 CD, format the HD (I have tried two HDs, the original and a known good one pulled from a Yosemite), install OS 9, but at the subsequent reboot the HD is no longer recognized. Pretty weird. Now I am going back to the G3 processor and see what happens. Any ideas?
