I'm having no problems with Terminal here. It's been running for about 24 hours, running SETI. The S900 on board cache can be disabled by a jumper on the MB. Most boards have no actual jumper there, however, just 2 solder pads. I'm not having a problem with it here, so I never pursued it any further. One problem I have discovered is that my IDE CD/RW is not recognized by 10.2's DiskCopy. It works fine under 10.1.5, however, which I still have installed on another drive. BTW, the L2 Cache Config does not display the "Configuring L2 Cache" during bootup like it does under 10.1.5. Is it actually working correctly? How can I be sure?
