Re: Help PDS Upgrade -Newbie to list and Macs

2003-01-02 Thread Frank Kannemann
Hi,

Thanks Pickle and Glove ;-)!

It seems I fooled myself ;-(

I had also upgraded to MacOS 8.1 from 8.0 and I was using
the "About this Mac" Menu item instead of the Apple investigator (sorry
can't remember the name..) under 8.0 it said PowerPC or nothing
umder 8.1 it doesn't say PowerPC...

So, what is the last release to support PDSified PowerPCs on Quadra's
8.5?

So, It works!!! Thanks!

Frank


PS. Everybody probably knows about this site:

My son wanted some of the same software he uses at school and I found it
there.

Help PDS Upgrade -Newbie to list and Macs

2003-01-01 Thread Frank Kannemann
Hi,

I have two machines and was trying to make one uber machine ;-)

>From everything I could find on the net it should work

I took a PowerPC PDS card out of a Quadra 610.Which meant taking it out
of the adapter and installed it into a Quadra 650.

The 610 worked fine using MacOS 8.1 with and without the PDS card ;-)

The 650 didn't seem to want to acknowledge the card was there. I did
install the PowerPC control panel switch it on did the vulcan mind
cleansing control-p-r and rebooted it..

The 650 also has MacOS 8.1 on it..

It seems with card is an Apple original and doesn't have a frequency
switch/jumper on it like some of the 3rd party ones...

So a copy of questions:

1) Should it work?

2) any diagnostic software that might help I think daystar had some?

3) What is latest version of MacOS can I run on it? 8.6?

The 610 only has 20MBs in it and the 650 has 72MBs that 

The reason for doing this is to get a later version netscape MacOS 8.0
came with Navigator 3.0 but when I tried to install Netscape 4.78 or
Opera they complain about not having ppc...on the 650...

Anyway any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated...

Frank
