Installed OS 10.14 in my S 900 with the following configuration: XLR8 G3 Zif card W/ G4 400 CPU upgrade
272MB ram Twin turbo card with Apple rom �driving an Apple Multiscan 17 ATI Nexus 128 �driving an Optiquest V95 19� monitor Internal 18GB Hard drive -FWB 4.5 driver External 9GB drive �Apple driver v. 8.14 (This is the one that accepted the installation) Pioneer CD (Okay for installing but not recognized under OS X once it's running) Yamaha 2-4-6 CDRW (IS recognized by OS X!!) When I ran the installer I left the E 100 card in there and the 4.5uw drive connected to it hoping the installer would simply bypass it, which it did. I used XpostFacto 2.2 which performed brilliantly and there were no problems with the installation process. I had run the latest driver for the ATI card (9-01) earlier in the evening and everything went fine. The installer did not display on the big monitor connected to the ATI card, that one only showed a blank blue screen. The whole process was visible on the Apple 17� though. It took about an hour and then rebooted successfully into OS X. Both monitors were working and I switched to the 19� as my main monitor as I had been doing under OS 9.1 I now had OS X working on my Umax. The only niggling concerns I had was that the desktop screen image seemed a little grainy even though it was displaying millions of colors, and that the 9GB drive seemed to be accessed by the system excessively as though it is being used in a virtual memory scheme. I understand that OS X requires a lot of memory but I thought 272MB would be sufficient. That was then, this morning however OS X would not boot. I started up in 9.1 and using the Startup disk control panel selected the external drive with OS X but had no luck. I removed the E 100 card and disconnected the 4.5 GB UW drive and tried again without success. I tried Command/Option/control �delete at start up hoping to force start on the external SCSI bus but came up with the blinking question mark. Any ideas?
