Hi folks,
I'm looking for suggestions on the next place to look for a problem
I'm having with my UMAX S900. I successfully added a XLR8 G4/400 Carrier
card, a VST UltraTek/66 IDE card, upgraded to OS 9, then to OS X 10.1.5.
Having gotten that far I decided to replace my ixMicro Ultimate Rez video
card with the ATI Radeon 7000 (since 10.1.5 fixed the issues with OS X).
And there my luck ran out... For a while I got video out. The computer
would boot, but the cursor was stuck in the upper left corner. Although, if
I moved the mouse, things would highlight like the cursor moved. It just
didn't show. So I put the Ultimate Rez back in and connected a borrowed
monitor. Both screens came on, the Ultimate Rez was the primary one. I
still had the cursor problem though. I could drag windows between the
screens. So I ran the monitors control panel (having gone back to OS 9.1)
and everything froze. Now when I boot the system I get one chime when the
power comes on and that's it. Black screen on everything. I've tried
zapping the parameter ram until my fingers were twisted from holding down
the keys.. nothing. I have a permanent indentation on my finger from
holding down the CUDA switch too. I even took out the motherboard battery.
Once for a few minutes, once for 6 hours and once for 14 hours. Still
nothing. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Oh, I tried both video boards in a J700
and they work, so it's not the boards. It's the S900.
