Howdy, I tried a QS processor in an earlier G4 chassis today. It did not work, and I am wondering what to try next. The G4 was an older model than I expected. It is a Sawtooth model. I made the extra 12V connection, as specified. The system would not boot at all with the QS processor. I noted that the 12V power supply was a little lower than I expected. I measured it at 11.59V. So, it could be that the QS processor was too much drain on the 12V rail. Or, it could be that this hack does not work on the Sawtooth. Any thoughts? I'll still try this hack on my G4 Gigabit Ethernet later. My friend has 12 of these Sawtooths that we would like to upgrade for a school, so we decided to try one of those first. He had been telling me they were G4 Digital Audios, but they weren't. My QS processor was a 733. I know that would not have been a lot faster, but this was supposed to be a cheap proof of concept upgrade. Good day, Ralph
