It is a known fact that Ryan's L2 cache software doesn't work correctly with the Sonnet G4 700/800. He is working on a new version that likely will . I'm wondering why you are even trying to use it? Sonnet has software for your card. This should be your first choice of software to use. If you have loaded the Sonnet software you will have issues adding other cache software. powerlogix has software for cards with L2 software and L3 software.For what it's worth... At this time I consider Powerlogix's software first choice for G3/4 upgrade cards but not sure it works well with the Sonnet G4 700/800. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
