Help! (Jeff Walther and Will S RU there?!). Well, after all these years with Supermacs, I feel like a newbie again!
On the positive side, I've just successfully upgraded one S900 (built by me from empty case) from a 604e to a Daystar/XLR8 G4 ZIF (purchased new from Daystar) and have it running stably under 10.2.8 at 450 MHz. Brilliant!, no probs. (Except that, for some weird reason, it won't see my [Intech-driven] CD-ROMs under 9.1, although it usually recognizes them under OS X). BUT ... on the negative side ... I've just attempted to upgrade its sister vessel (an identical S900 with the same 50 MHz bus speed, also built by me from more-or-less empty case) from a Sonnet G3 Crescendo 400 to a Daystar/XLR8 G4 ZIF (also purchased new from Daystar). And it's a dead parrot!! No chimes. Black screen. Nothing. I've swapped out the chips several times. Done all the usual PRAM-Zap and CUDA routines too. I've stood on my head at least three times, and I've prayed to many different deities, but no luck. The thing is ... I even remembered to install the XLR8 software before swapping out the processors. So, now I'm dead in the water and stuck on a sandbar, with precious cargo in the hold (my inaccessible 80GB hard drive!). Help, someone!
