I have the radeon 9600 card, it starts up when I press the power button in front, the fans turn on, but I get no video display. No startup chime whereas it had been starting up with the chime yesterday. I installed 10.4 yesterday on the new harddrive. On a whim, I attached a firewire drive with 10.4 loaded on it to the firewire port, then the computer display lit up normally. There was no startup chime, though.

Pismo won't boot off HDD or external
First, sorry I'm posting this to this group. I can't seem to join the G-books group without going to the Apple II list and the PowerBooks list nanny takes forever to approve my posts (I posted stuff a month ago and it hasn't been approved yet). I recently got a Pismo and it is refusing to boot off or even detect the internal or external HDD (I can't boot it off a disk since it came with a ZIP drive). I have tried removing the PRAM battery but it is still doing it. I got it to boot off a transplanted HDD from an iBook that died of the logic board issue (it was running 10.2) but when I tried to boot into classic it broke the installation (I forgot that it didn't have classic oops...) and now it won't boot. It just goes to the folder with a question mark icon. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Clouds for Mac's
If your external drives never seem big enough, then the Cloud is definitely not for you. Most services provide less than 100GB - and that's for a hefty monthly fee. Most of the free options are in the single digits GB-wise. Not only do cloud services provide a relatively small amount of storage space in relation to hard drives, they're slow. You're limited by the speed of your internet connection, which is no match for SATA or USB/FireWire. A 100GB iTunes library would take about 3 days at best to upload to the cloud over a 4mbps upstream internet connection. Then there's the question of whether you want to trust a company with your music and photos - a company that could potentially go defunct, and take your data with them. Just my .02.

Re: Clouds for Mac's
Exactly. If John has 10TB internal, the next step is either a series of external drives or to use another Mac as a server. My main Mac is a pro, but I have a number off MDD G4s, one of whom has no monitor, I view it over network, and use it to host more drive space. 2 SATA cards and it's good for 8/12TB.

Re: Clouds for Mac's
I would get a RAID docking station, 5, 1 or 2 TB HDDs and an eSATA card for your G5. 5 or 10 TB of storage should be plenty for anything you need. Or you can get a data center grade tape drive but that would be slow and expensive. I'm wondering if someone has subscribed to one of the Cloud Services for their PPC Mac's and in what capacity. What I'd like to know is if these services can replace having multiple HDD's to transfer files such as iTunes and iPhoto libraries, or would it be too slow. Also could I store a CCC's on the Cloud? My G5 PM has 5 HDD's and I'd like to retire a lot of external drives, they get a little hard to keep track of and never seem to be big enough.:-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
