This machine has kind of been a dud since we got it but now it's gotten to
the point where we're going to toss it if we can't fix it. I want to try
one more time.
We have a Blue&White G3 450 (the version with a serial port) that we
ordered a while back directly from Apple. We had them pop in an Adaptec
2940 SCSI card and SCSI drive in it as we would be scanning all day
everyday, exclusively on this machine. We were disappointed to see that the
card was only providing an internal SCSI connection so we bought yet
another SCSI card (Initio Miles Blue Note) and installed it along side the
Adaptec card.
So we have just the stock DVD drive and Zip Drive on the IDE chain.
SCSI Bus 1 is the Blue Note Card and an Agfa Scanner is attached to it at
ID #4.
SCSI Bus 2 is the Adaptec Card has the IBM HD (8.5gigs formatted Mac OS
Standard) on it at ID 0.
The machine also has 320megs of RAM in it.
We're running OS 8.6 in it because EVERYTIME we install OS9 (5 times now)
we enter the 7th circle of Hell. (OS9 runs wonderfully on the G4's).
The machine seems perfectly stable and we don't crash except when scanning
and working in Photoshop. The machine does fine in the morning but towards
the middle and end of the day Photoshop starts giving "not enough memory to
create a preview" and or just crashes. That's to say Photoshop crashes, not
the machine. It definitely seems to me a cumulative process as Photoshop is
fine until we've been scanning for a few hours.
Does anyone have any ideas? We are truly desperate.
Thanks
