Re: Need to Print Thousands of Micro$oft doc scans, Ahhh
strange, it used to be only the softies that relied on file name extensions to determine file type. Apple people had the resource fork and Unix people had /etc/magic . Anyway, you can write a nice script that would be a whole lot more robust, but the quick and dirty way would be to run this from the directory where all of your images are located in an xterm, or in a Terminal.app window: % file * | grep -i tif This would identify your tiff files, and then you can move them off to another directory, or what ever you need to do.

Re: radeon 9800 pro
Ok, now it makes more sense. I bought the card because it had ADC on it. I wrongly assumed that I could just tape the pins and go. Im using a 23 Apple Cinema display on my G4 QS 933 and needed the ADC for now. SO - a G5 ADC card will not fit in a G4 because the card and AGP slot was redesigned, but a G5 NON ADC card will fit in a G4? That explains why the flashed pc cards work. The slot issues only concern adc cards and even then the agp pro slot in the G5 will perhaps take any agp card without adc. It's just that the adc cards designed for the agp pro slot were not usable in earlier macs due to the shifting of the adc power pins out of the main slot and onto a stub. The presence of the adc power pins in the main slot effectively meant that no adc equipped G4 will boot with an 8x card installed - thus the tape. The 7800GS is troublesome due to the bios change - the mac version and the early pc version had the G70 bios - the pc version quickly changed to the later G71 bios. G71 cards will not flash to mac - only the earlier cards with the G70 bios are compatible with mac flashing. And the mac card only had 256MB AFAIK so the 512MB may present problems too - possibly all the 512MB cards are later cards and G71. G70's are occasionally available - usually involves mailing the seller to get the bios from the back of the card - begins 5.70 (G70) rather than the later 5.71(G71). The BFG card was favourite as I remember though several other brands made a G70 card. The Radeon X800 is also a very good card - problems again though.

Kernal panics eSATA drive
Last night I noticed one of my eSATA drives would unmount for seemingly no reason and after rebooting a few times all was ok till I started getting kernal panics. In checking the console I found a problem with drive 5,3 so after checking System Profiler I saw the PCI-E card but no driver. After reinstalling the sii driver all's well I'm wondering what could make the driver fall off.

Re: What is the best OS for PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics?
10.4.11. You can take it to Leopard but you will need a CPU upgrade as it will be painfully slow. As for Linux have you heard of MintPPC?

Re: Beige G3 with 1GHz ZIF upgrade worth it?
You should be able to find a 1.25 or possibly a dual 1.25 G4 MDD in the $40 - 100 area and unupgraded, it'll run circles around the most heavily upgraded G3 out there -- 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.

Don't think so. With a slight difference in MHz, and the G3 lacking Altivec (often used in video), it could be even worse. Perhaps installing a faster G4 CPU upgrade might be an improvement... but it depends on how much will it cost. (I have a G4 DA 667, upgraded with an OWC 1.4 GHz CPU, and it was well worth the cost). If you find a G4 MDD 1.25 GHz for a fair price, it will probably outperfom your G4 with an CPU upgrade.

Re: Beige G3 with 1GHz ZIF upgrade worth it?
It'll be a little tougher for me cause I'm from a small town and my parents don't appreciate driving to bigger cities for stuff. I was lucky to get my g4 from my schools Mac lab.

Re: Need to Print Thousands of Micro$oft doc scans, Ahhh
- Original Message From: Jerry apple.mail.lis...@oryx.cc strange, it used to be only the softies that relied on file name extensions to determine file type. Apple people had the resource fork and Unix people had /etc/magic . Anyway, you can write a nice script that would be a whole lot more robust, but the quick and dirty way would be to run this from the directory where all of your images are located in an xterm, or in a Terminal.app window: % file * | grep -i tif This would identify your tiff files, and then you can move them off to another directory, or what ever you need to do. Another easy terminal command that even I could do. I have written them all down; I know one day I will need them. The quick and dirty way I used was simple cmd-F in Finder. Since all the files had a unique six-letter prefix I entered it into the find box this gave me 3400+ file and 3400+ sub folders. Refining the search to Image files gave me the list of 3400+ TIF's I needed. Then dropping after them all into the desktop printer icon -- 20 hrs later all files were printed and billed.

Re: Beige G3 with 1GHz ZIF upgrade worth it?
Great idea Kris, you beat me to it. Definitely look into Hackintosh options. There are MANY resources out there. Tonymacx86 supplies a lot of tools for 55-series and later machines, and some 45-series machines, too. The DSDTs for every one of the many mobos which I have personally hacked can be found on the Hackintosh Questions-Answers forum. Google is your friend, of course. In general, Gigabyte mobos with the AMAC update are the most compatible OOTB, but I have shown how the AMAC features may be retrofitted to non-AMAC mobos, in particular to Shuttles. I currently have Shuttle X27D/GMA950/ICH7, K48/GMA950/ICH7, P35/ICH9R and H55/ICH10R running 10.6.7 with all updates. Plus too many Gigabytes to mention. Certainly including P35, EP35, EP45 and EP55. I have done Gigabyte and Shuttle G31 and G41 systems, too, but those have been retired. -- 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.
