Re: No video G5
Is it possible that your video card is not physically compatible with your model of G5? Which G5 do you have? Earlier models are PCI-X while newer models are PCI-E if memory serves.

Excessive fan noise - Quicksilver 2002

Re: Excessive fan noise - Quicksilver 2002
Thanks, peter. The one thing I didn't do was to clean the actual fan blades. I will do that immediately. The noise doesn't appear to be a whine that I normally associate with bearing wear, but seems to be more of a noticeable whirring. If additional cleaning doesn't improve the situation, I'll start looking for a replacement fan.

I don't know why it's so darned expensive. I checked Acards' website yesterday for these very cards. They wanted $89 for an PCI-ATA adapter. Different item. Peter referred to SCSI/IDE adapter. That is an adapter into which you plug your SCSI cable at one end and an IDE drive at the other end. Acard's price on the AEC-7720U is $249.

The 6880M is like the 6280M, except that it supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. The 6280M (any variation) is a non-RAID adapter with Mac firmware (known to work with PPC Macs ... most likely won't work with Intel Macs). The 6880M (any variation) is a RAID adapter with Mac firmware (same comments as above). Unlike Promise and many others which licensed their Mac firmware from Firmtek, ACARD develops its own Mac firmware, which probably explains why they were so soon to come out with LBA48 support in their own adapters, whereas others came rather late to the LBA48 support scene. The $30 card from eBay (a Hong Kong seller, IIRC) is a PCI card which is at home in a G-series Mac as these have the longer slot which this card requires. One internal UATA 100/133 port (supports LBA48 and two drives) and one on-card space which accepts any ATA 2.5 drive (both mounting formats, the early one and the present one). Drive power from the PCI bus. This is the 6280MD, where the D suffix indicates support for an on-card 2.5 hard drive. As usual, the attached drives are made to appear as SCSI by the ACARD firmware. -- 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.
