For the Dayum, yah learn something every day file
Apologies if I sound like a newb here but I just discovered this... Invoke Time Machine. Select a file or folder, click on the gear icon in the window. ONe of the selections is to 'Delete all copies from backups'. Came in handy, I'd had a very large folder on my desktop of user accounts to archive, and it took several days.

Awhile ago, I began seeing a message about a Keyboard or keystroke Why this is happening after installing RAM I don't know ... Getting yet another stall, I removed my Sonnet Tango FW/USB PCI card, and left my M-Audio Delta 2496 PCI one, moving it to a lower Slot4. In the past, I had what seemed like conflicts between the M-Audio and Sonnet, on my old mobo, so I'm thinking that might have been a real issue. I might try the Sonnet in a Slot3, above the M-Audio later. Often the stall would occur at the point where it was trying to load several different files related to M-Audio. On Restart, I would sometimes get did not loaded properly messages about the same M-Audio files. So, maybe a PCI bridge conflict between multiple purpose PCI cards? M-Audio has MIDI / SPDIF / Stereo In/Out and the Sonnet has USB1.1 and FW400. Without the USB/FW card, the log looks cleaner, and I have not gotten a stall as yet (3 or so Startups/Restarts). Perhaps the suggestion awhile ago of getting something with a USB hub would be an up-to-date solution. Maybe the NewerTech External SATA box with FW/USB ports would be a better solution, once they solve the firmware conflict between Seagate 1.5TB drives and the NewerTech SATA bridge. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Any hope for my G5 tower?
I left for the weekend, and returned to find out that the power transformer across the street had exploded while I was away. My DP G5 2Ghz(early 2005), was in sleep mode at the time. When I pressed the power button, the tower booted and worked fine- until the next day, when it suddenly went black. The power supply tested okay with a voltmeter. I've tried pulling ram, disconnecting drives, video card, processors. It will power most of the time, but won't bong/post. The one difference is when I pulled a processor, I pressed the power button, and did not get power. I know it is not supposed to do this. Any insight, suggestions appreciated. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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?
