Hello s900ers! I have an s900 and I have the following problems which I would like some recommendations on how to fix.
Problem 1: PCI problems Card not being recognized. I installed 8.6 because I installed an Ethernet card (Asante) so I wouldn't need to use the built-in Ethernet This card needs 8.6 or higher to work . This card is in Slot F on my machine. I assume this is also slot 6 . or we could also call it The-Slot-Nearest-The-Bottom-Of-The-Tower. In slot 3 is the twin turbo card. In slot 4 is the pci-bridge card. In slot 5 , a old mach64 card. slot 2 is empty and slot 1 has the small card with the printer,modem,Ethernet hookups that come with the s900. I can't get the machine to recognize the Asante card. When I run Apple System Profiler, it only lists the twin turbo and the pci-bridge card, in slot B1 and C1 respectively. Should I re-arrange these cards? and if so, how ? Any recommendations,tips,comments, suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! If I can't this to work, I will re-install OS 8.1 and in that case does anyone have an E100 card they would like to sell? Problem 2 : CD problems I have , I believe, the stock CD that came with the s900; the machine was a gift. ASP says it is a MASHITA CD-ROM CR-506, Revision no. 8505, Driver ver. 5.0.1 I have the CD-ROM Toolkit extension ver 2.3.2 enabled. the Apple drivers are disabled. The problem is it won't read any CD when I put it in the drive. Do I need a different driver? a new CD? Once again, any recommendations,tips,comments, suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! I also want to replace this drive with a RW/DVD drive and would like to get your comments and recommendation on which brand to buy. Or if someone on the list has a reliable, working one that they would be interested in selling, let me know. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
