Re: G4 MDD RAM

Re: G4 MDD RAM
This was also done because I hacked the open firmware. I am sorry, but I don't remember how the trick went. I first reset the open firmware by starting up and pressing and holding Command+Option+P+R. Then, I restarted into open firmware, and I typed in some kind of command to remove the limit for RAM and some other stuff. It took me hours to figure out, and unfortunately I forgot to save this command in textedit.

Re: G4 MDD RAM
My PM G4 Sawtooth did recognize 4GB. It's just that Leopard and the OF weren't too happy with it for a while. Kps were a bit more common than I thought they would be. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Mark said there was some type of open firmware hack to get more RAM recognized. I looked hard and couldn't find one for the MDD specifically, but this article has some good information about why some large modules aren't recognized in some laptops, and how to use open firmware to correct this problem. It looks like this could lead you in the correct direction if it's possible to use 4GB in the MDD: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080226020954481 -- 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.
