- Original Message From: Clark Martin cm...@sonic.net Maybe I missed it but did you apply the firmware update prior to installing the upgrade? PS I'd have the blues too if I was wooing a computer upgrade. :) I'm 99% sure about the firmware upgrade, will double check tomorrow. Yeah, my woo's turned to woes (as I intended to say) and thanks Liam for the excuse. Fortunately I did not pay much for this ZIF. Once again thanks, Wallace, Clark and Liam --glen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Blues White CPU Upgrade Woo's
Gott'a problem people -- here are the facts. The Upgrade: Sonnet Encore 800 MHz G4 ZIF CPU The Mac: Stock BW Rev 2 - 350 MHz G3, 896 MB RAM, 6GB HD MacOS 9.1 ROM: $77D.45F6 Boot ROM : 1.1f4 Boots into OS 9.1 with no problem Goal: Get the 800 MHz G4 installed. Replace the 6 GB HD with/or add a larger drive as a second HD. Upgrade the OS to 4.1.11. And finally max the RAM to 1 GB. What's been done: 1) Used Newertechnology BW G4 Enabler to remove the G4 Block 2) Installed the Sonnet Uprade Extension for OS 9. 3) Installed the 800 MHz ZIF with the Sonnet white jumper block and special Y power cable using a grounding strap -- no static zaps or sparks. 4) Checked Sonnet's jumper block setting on xcellerateyourmac web site and they appear correct given the reduction in bus speed. 5) Checked pins on ZIF, none bent or broken 6) used contact cleaner on all connections Problem: No bong, no boot, no video. Additional Information: Tried the the same upgrade on a different B W with 300 MHz and 448 RAM same ROM and Boot ROM and G4 Enabler installed, same HD as above; same result. Conclusion: 1) I'm doing something incorrectly or missing a step. 2) The Sonnet G4 upgrade is TOAST! New thought: Maybe the Sonnet upgrade requires 9.2.2? Haven't tried that yet. Anyone have an ideas on how to make this sucker work would be greatly appriciated. Or is it ready for the junk pile?
