Need help with a G4 Yikes Please. I finally graduated to a G4 and now can't use it. ;-(
This is a Yikes 350 UPGRADED with a Sonnet to 500 Mhz. Please would someone help with these questions: 1 - video connector: Need one with a small male and bigger female. Does anyone know part number. No one at the store seems to know what I'm talking about. My monitor is ancient. It has the bigger male (with pins) that fits into the G3 MT just fine. Now - I need an adaptor for the Yikes. The adaptor I have - has a small female (small - same as on the back of the Yikes) and a larger male. NOT what is needed. 2. External boot ? The info says - the Yikes will NOT boot from an external Fire Wire. The Sonnet SCSI card that I got to run my old external HD - says it will NOT boot the Yikes. Is there anything EXTERNAL that will boot Yikes ? I get nevous thinking about running the Yikes with NO escape - if it decides not to boot from the internal HD. 3. How far can Yikes be upgraded - Mhz ??? Is 500 Mhz the upper limit ? Will any thing else - the 800's or ??? work ? 4. HD's How big HD's will it take ? Is there a limit ? Can it run two 160's or 200's ? 5. DVD-CDRW Can someone recommend one that will work well in Yikes? And - good burning software ? 6. Ether cable Can the Yikes be connected to a G3 MT with an Ether cable ? I have a Belkin#R7J304, 24 AWG. TYPE CM-E178882 VERIFIED CAT 5 PATCH left over from who knows when. Will that work ? Would connecting them by USB be better ? How ? 7. How else can I connect both machines ? Should they be plugged into a router or ??? Which would be good ? 8. Panther I would like to try Panther on Yikes ? Does it run well ? Hints, comments, suggestions appreciated. 9. Record streaming audio Anyone know a good - preferably free - app that will record streaming audio on the Yikes ? It's for talk - not music - so I don't need all those great base tones etc. that music people love. 10. Video card Does Panther require a better video card than the standard 128(?) that came with the Yikes 350 ? Thanks so much - for the advice. If I get this running before I melt I will be ever so grateful. We went from the 50's to the high 90's overnight. Just way too warm. Take care.
