Success. I can't believe it! So far so good. After trying several/many times, I got lucky with Xpostfacto 2.2.4 to install OS10.2.1.
As said in XPostFacto is the winner, I too failed to have any luck with Sonnets install X software. In fact, the screen of death, which haunted me each time causing me to reboot and reboot contributed I believe to the other death of my second SS250GPX Power supply. Also having the original Hardware which came from new from UMAX did the trick. Matsushita CR-507-B (which to this day I don't know how many X/times speed it is). The CR-507-B is on it's own bus, the slow one at the back of the motherboard by the FAN. The two Seagate Hawk ST34555N SCSI 2 drives on the faster internal bus with OS 9.1 on ID=0 and OS X on ID=1. And the Twin Turbo with 4MB of VRAM in yes, in the top PCI slot to be sure. I had prior to trying OSX install been running solely in 9.1 and noticed that the old Twin Turbo had been "green screening" it on reboot in 9.1 so I changed the J24 jumper to the other jumper PIN setting maintaining the central PIN position on the block. So switching to the correct VGA setting. This showed up nicely in PCI Prober as Twin Turbo VGA controller. So this simple set up worked first time with XPostFacto 2.2.4. In my many failures I had been trying with a fully loaded UMAX, a Cheetah, Adaptec SCSI card 29160N, Formac Profromance 111 video card. A Sonnet IDE ATA 100 controller card and a huge 120 G IBM HD. All unsuccessful. So I am very pleased and my faith in the old UMAX has been fully restored. So now it is OK with X. All this was after converting an ATX Power Supply to fit the UMAX. Thanks to Jeff again. Any UMAX no matter how old, may still be used! So now the fun begins. Question is, which Cache enabler is the right one for us?
