I was finally able to get video on one of my s900's by installing a Raedon video card and booting without extensions (I guess...shift key held down). Now I have more problems that I am not sure how to deal with.
First of all, how do I set it up so that I don't have to hold down the shift key at boot up. I tried to install the software that came with my video card but I couldn't even see where I could access the cd-rom. Up until now I have been strictly x86, so I am not even sure what booting without extensions means. Will it make my cd-rom inaccessible? Next, the computer I purchased did not come with software. It has OS9.1 installed, but It only has a 2 gig hard drive in it. I want a larger hard drive, so I am going to have to do a software reload. Where is the best place to get software? I see OS 9.2 with OSX jaguar on ebay all the time selling for about $80.00, but I was not sure if this is a good deal or not. I know my computer will require some work before osX can be installed (processor etc..) but I figured If I could get 9.2 and OSX at once, I can always upgrade later. Finally, I have a Mylex DAC960 Raid controller I would like to use, but I have a feeling like it probably is not going to happen. Does anyone know if it possible to use one with PPC? Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. So far you guys have been allot of help, and I really appreciate it. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - NetZero HiSpeed!
