One of the things you're finding out is that there was some weird inherent variation across the beige line not accounted for by ROM revision numbers and such. Some are simply resistant to OS X, Some are resistant to upgrading, etc. There's a lot of weird issues. Mine, I could not, for the life of me upgrade past 10.2. A friend had one that you simply could not install OS X on at all. The fault could not be traced to any single part of the computer, as they all worked when swapped out for different ones, it was that unique combination of motherboard, power supply video card, ram ,etc. I know because a friend of that friend had an Apple shop, and a ready supply of parts to swap in; he took this as a challenege, never did find out why the computer just wouldn't load OS X. The only thing he never swapped out was the case. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
