Hello all and thanks again to Richard and Will. As to question #1, I am trying to reinstall X to the same hardrive that 9.1 is on. It's a Western Digital 80 gig Ultra-ATA 100 connected to the Acard ata controller. OS X was working fine with my old Newer Tech G3 before switching to a G4 upgrade.
#2. I have since wiped out my second hardrive (scsi) of 2 gigs. A long time ago, I had installed X to it using the old G3 card. Again, with the new G4, XPostFacto 2.2.5, throttle to 8, input as keyboard, output as video, I still have been able to get to install. I did use 9.1's drive setup to format. #3. XLR8 speed control for OS 9 has been installed the WD hardrive before installing the upgrade card. However, there was no software for X with the CD the upgrade card came with. I am thinking that this may be an issue, but I did not think to install that version before switching the card. #4. 9.1 is still on the WD hardrive. It was a clean install. I will retry to install by removing all uneccessary pci cards and scsi devices again to see if it will work better. I am even thinking of setting the dip switches to a slower cpu speed. I am hoping that this G4's stock 450 speed is not the problem by stressing the RAM (OWC 128's) as mentioned by Will S. I may try to replace the G4 card back with the G3 and try getting the XLR8 speed control for X after a successful reinstall of X before putting back the G4. -Darwin -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
