On a PowerMac 7300 upgraded with XLR8 CarrierZIF and a NewerTech G4 400/200, with an Acard 133 supporting two EIDE drives (floppy removed) and a TDK CDRW, the original SCSI 2GB hard drive, 896MB RAM, and a terminated SCSI tail supporting an Iomega ZIP 100, a UMax 600S scanner and the original CD-ROM in a 3.5" case, running 10.2.4 and 9.1.
Classic has never been able to open. It runs to complete load of extensions, the icon go away, and then it hangs. There is "no" progress indicated on the classic progress bar. It just hangs/stops. Have researched Apple's Knowledge Base, and deleted all possible alias' to OS servers, and the Server folder in the target 9.1 system folder. I have worked with Disk Utility from the Jag install disk, Norton 6 Disk Doctor, Disk Warrior, and permissions to no avail. OSX has been running for several months well but with occasional crashes, and some disk format corruption requiring occasional disk utility repair. Recently acquired iBook is slick with none of these problems. Have read a lot about RAM testing, but don't believe I have bad RAM. Newer Guru and Gauge RAM tests pass. Six 128s have come new from OWC in the past year or so. Two original 64s remain from the 7300/200 604 I bought on eBay about 1.5 years ago. All are interleaved. Any clues to get Classic running?? Any recommendations on how best to definitively test RAM? Better RAM test utilities?
