Jeff, Welcome to the Unsupported OSX list! It's always nice to see
another friendly guy.
AS you may remember I don't do soldiering. What do you think of the
idea of conductive paint use on the motherboard pins? Bailey/Ford and
Terry Mathews have both mentioned this as a possible solution though I
don't think either have tried it yet.
Sorry but I'm way behind on my email. Jaguar has taken up all of my
time lately. I will answer my email soon I hope. Oh ya I have gotten
replies that the Powerlogix cache software does work in Jaguar from 2
people on another list. It requires using the terminal to install which
worked fine in 10.1.5 but not jaguar for me. Somehow I ended up with a
very flaky Terminal in jaguar which barely even opens up before
crashing.
