My main concern in all of this is hoping that either video card or computer wouldn't be fried if I were to install the 6200 in the MDD. The 6200 was purchased on eBay from mac_geniuses, who sold it as modified for use in Macs; it works perfectly in the QS2002 when running OS X, but the resolution for OS 9 must be set from OS X (a rather finicky process). All the eBay ads I've seen for Mac-type 6200s state explicitly that they work in neither MDD or FW800 G4s; however, LowEndMac states that they "will work with all AGP Macs" once modified; otherwise, it won't boot. Quite confusing, really... -Adam -- Adam Vaughn Collector of old computers, video game systems, radios and other electronic equipment...

MDD G4 and GeForce 6200 - compatible?
Hello everyone. I recently picked up a Dual 1.0GHz MDD G4, which is currently equipped with a (stock?) Radeon 9000 card. Since it's equipped with Leopard, I'd like to upgrade the video card. I have a 933MHz QS2002 which I've upgraded with a flashed GeForce 6200 card. Some sources I've checked say that the 6200 doesn't work at all with an MDD G4, while others say that it does, if the proper pin connections are cut (which it appears is the case, since the card works just fine in my QS2002). Which one is correct? If not, why wouldn't the 6200 work in my MDD? And finally, would it hurt to try the 6200 in the MDD anyway?

Depends on what you need. By the time the login window has
displayed, the cache rebuild etc has been completed. If that was
your purpose for going into Safe Mode, then just hit the restart
button.
>Can/should this be used a maintenance procedure; if so, how often?
"this" Depends on what you mean.
Safe Mode can be used to fix a lot of things.
No, booting into Safe Mode is not really a maintenance procedure.
You'd be better off using real maintenance tools, such as as Disk
Utility and OnyX.
>Should it be performed to {somehow?} supplement - or substitute -
>running disk utility repair from the OS install disc?
No. Repairing the engine has nothing to do with retreading your tires.
>Should OS upgrades should be installed in safe boot?
No. But if after installing one of Apple's packages you find you
cannot boot, try booting in Safe Mode. Often the problem is that
Apple didn't clear and rebuild the caches correctly.

"SAFE BOOT" Questions
Greetings!
Can anyone Please clear up the Correct "safe boot" procedure for me?"
Once I get to the log in screen {displaying safe boot in red}, do I
immediately restart right then and there - using the log in window
restart option?
- OR - do i log in, let the desktop load and THEN restart??? I can't
seem to clarify this anywhere.
Can/should this be used a maintenance procedure; if so, how often?
Should it be performed to {somehow?} supplement - or substitute -
running disk utility repair from the OS install disc? Should OS
upgrades should be installed in safe boot? {i've never done that - and
never had a problem going back to OS X 10.0 - but just read it on
macfixit}
The units I'm using are a G4 dp450; 10.4.11 and MDD 1.25dp fw800
10.5.6.
Many, many thanks - as always!

Each list has nannies who assist the list owner in making sure that list rules are followed. Since you are not banned from the G3-5 List, please do not discuss your problem with another list here.

Re: Banned
Good luck. I had a disagreement with a seller a few months back. He contacted the nanny. During the long, long time it took the nanny to respond we worked out our differences to mutual satisfaction. Yet when the nanny finally got around to it, I ended up being banned. When I ask for how long, I never got a reply. So, I assume it's for life.
