8500/180, 640 MB interleaved RAM, running OS 10.2.2 with these upgrades: - XLR8 Mach Carrier MPe w/ 450 MHz G4 - Radeon 7000 PCI graphics card. VGA (Apple ColorSync 17") and S-video (TV/VCR). Also using an Apple 15" MultiScan on built-in video port. - ACARD 6860 ATA/66 card with 2 80 GB drives. This card acts like a SCSI card so it doesn't have the <8GB partition limit for OS X. Previously used an Adaptec 2930U UltraSCSI card, but I couldn't boot from it or use a UWSCSI drive with an adapter. Internal SCSI bus is bootable and fully useable. - OrangeMicro FW/USB 1 combo card - Yamaha 6416SX external SCSI CDRW works fine w/ OS 10.2.2 on external SCSI bus. Overall this system works well, though I am retiring it for a new G4. -- __________________________ Phil Lefebvre Chicago, IL -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
