Hi to all [PCI] Helpers! I had a reply with [snips] of each Re: but N/S Comm.4.05 'quit'-I hate that word. so am trying again without the quoted replies. Briefly, I have 8500 going again with a newer S/G HDD. IBM drive had corrupted Finder/file structures. Was able to run TechTool CD tests on it but TT couldn't repair. Aside from ext. conflicts on newer HDD, which I have solved (yeah, sure ;o) it is booting and running pretty good. A few gliches to the contrary makes me think I'm not quite done with it yet.
But, it really is good to have learned things from you all, and to see Mac boot up! I'm now aware of CUDA switch. Is it a re-set for mobo data? I didn't see any change after holding it down. I have not always had ID#0 HD terminated, so that may have caused some or all of the Finder/file struct corruption. My ignorance is paying off.

I suppose the <Level 2 cache card> goes back in too... after CUDA? Is it the single cache chip between the banks of DIMMS? Also have an open slot above those, top right corner, looking at inside of mobo- what might it be for? Guess I need a service manual (or schematic, just to show what I can mess up).

I thought it'd be nice to switch on a 2nd internal HD- plenty of fan pwr. in 8500, & enough room in bay and belly for 1 or 2 more drives, turned off when not use. GaugePro show it runs at 100�F (this 6100 stays around 130! It was 134 'til I snapped 1"x4" horiz. cover in its place, in back/heard it cools better open/No! That temp. is higher than some drive mfrs. recommend for top end temps. Yes? Thanks to all who have helped me, wading in deep water of Lake Macintosh- at least it is clean and clear, not yet contaminated by the Sea of Microslop.
