It's a massive coup that you get it working, I use it on mine despite having less RAM than you and only one hard disk (albeit 40GB :) ). >My first problem: X-postfacto2.2b7 crashes with a error type -3 just as >it's first window draws. I have tried with 9.04 Base Set of extensions, >zapped the PRAM, rebuilt the Desktop etc. Same thing. I concur with Terry - I think you need to try 9.1, I don't know who told Terry it was better but they need their Mac-head testing, 9.0.4 has several definite bugs in it. >Should I try an older >version of Xpostfacto (which one?) or could I not have it setup right? It requires no setting up other than running XPF AFAIK. If 9.1 doesn't work you could try getting the previous iteration. >I download, unstuff the archive mount the .img and run Xpostfacto. It looks >like a Control Panel. If it is, where do the components go? You can try lobbing it in the System Folder (Mac OS automatically files it in 'Control Panels') but i fount it doesn't make a lot of difference, it's just easier to find later. >My set-up (yes it's basic - I have no dosh!) Hah, mine beats yours for minimalism ;) >7300/180 7300/200 w/ 256k cache >112megs ram 64MB RAM (I am getting 512MB but it's not here yet) >8gig SCSI2 on PCI card with OS9.04 installed >2gig SCSI (OEM) on internal bus for OS10.0.3 I have one ATA/100 40GB hard disk on an ACARD SCSIDE Bridge (which is a great piece of kit if you need a cheap hard disk and not another PCI card). Does the 'First 8GB' rule still apply on older machines as I have it instaslled on a 40GB partition and it seems fine at the moment.... >USB PCI card installed I have a Belkin USB card - essential item if you want OS X to be at it's best, because even though it does work with ADB, it deosn't support hot-plugging of ADB devices (not recommended by most but I have 2 k/bs between 3 Macs, I can't help it, I haven't killed any of the 8 Macs I've done it on yet....) so you need USB to suport hot-plugable stuff. >10/100 PCI card installed Try taking this out until you get OS X running and then install it again. You will probably need OS X drivers too. >OEM CD-ROM >OEM video (4megs) Uggh that 12x CD is a dog. I only have 2MB VRAM too but am chasing some more.
