does anyone know of a good, reputable place from which to buy used or refurbished pismo processor daughter cards? i can't really afford a new one (the 400 is like, 500 bucks, and i think the 500MHz is 625 or so). powerlogix has the new bluechip G4 for pismo, but they need a working processor...

i apologize if this issue has already been addressed, i did a search first and didn't find anything. maybe i asked the wrong question... my issue is this: if i have a G4 tower with an internal IDE 40 GB drive, can i plug in a PCI SCSI interface card and add an internal 10 GB SCSI drive and...

yeah, i realize it was a bad idea. but like i said, i thought it was still plugged in. i figured if i let all the power completely drain out, then it would reset something internally. obviously i was mistaken. so at this point, i'm curious as to what exactly it is i should do. i've tried a...

so, i did the worst thing ever. i let the power run all the way down while my powerbook G3 (pismo) was unplugged. it was asleep for like, a few days before i realized that it wasn't plugged in. it wouldn't wake up. just blinking light. still not realizing that it wasn't plugged in, i yanked the...

well, it did it again. honestly, i can say that i have tried EVERYTHING. there is no hope, i believe. as i mentioned earlier, the crash takes place in the following OSes: 10.0 10.0.3 10.0.4 AND 10.1 10.1.2 10.1.4 10.1.5 i've tested my ram THOROUGHLY trying various combinations of...

so, its been a few weeks now, and i thought i'd give you guys an update on my mystery crash. it's still here. i have another computer here, a powerbook G3. i leave it plugged in all the time. i got to thinking, "it never crashes." so i reasoned that perhaps the power here is dirty. as a...

just downloaded, and i'm super happy. but i have a BURNING question for you chimera officianados: how is 'chimera' pronounced? Ky-meer-ah? shim-er-ah?

well, i've decided to buy a UPS. in addition to the corrupction of my entourage DB, flash has stopped working. when i tried to launch it, it would come up with only certain pallettes (or 'panels' as macromedia calls them...) and a profound lack of menus. it also fails to open saved .fla...

during the night last night, the power went out at my office. my computer was on at the time. this morning, i tried to launch entourage, and it sits at the opening splash screen. in fact, its still on the splash screen after 30 minutes. a force quit doesn't help. i also tried restarting, no...

lets just say that i hypothetically wanted to change the long name of a user without using the GUI.... how does one use niutil to do this? i've read the man page, which is not so enlightening. anyone have any good resources to check? thanks. btw, i still haven't figured out my mystery...

if it were a swap issue, how would it be rectified? i seriously can't be productive on this machine with it crashing every time i click on a menu or resize a window. to tell the truth, i don't fully understand swapcop and i'm fearful of using it without a bit more of an explanation of the...

this problem has really run the gamut, eh? i had my linksys router and the DSL modem on top of the machine. they do get pretty hot, but idon't know if they would be causing the crash. that the hell, worth a try. i took them off and moved them to "cooler" locations. i've insulated the top of...

i just booted into open firmware and entered: reset-nvram set-defaults reset-all the odd thing is: prior to booting into OF, i ran nvram -p from terminal, and it showed me all the firmware variables and settings. after resetting it all, i ran nvram -p again... most stuff looked the...

OS 9 has no problems with the gong. it rings everytime. after i booted into 9, and restarted in 9 a few times after playing around with a few things, i then rebooted back into OSX, and guess what? it chimed. they are external speakers, but they're not in a monitor, they're just altech lansing...

i already tried the PRAM. didn't help. i also tried booting back into 9, and letting it run. it was up for almost 9 hours with aim, ie, navigator, itunes and outlook express running (with OE checking mail every 10 minutes) so there was plenty of activity. not a single problem. the only reason it...

at this point my firmware is at 1.1 i honestly wouldn't even begin to know where to look for a firmware upgrade. any suggestions? i've looked on apple.com, but honestly their support/download site is labryinthian. i tried downloads.com, but the newest one they had was 1.1.. am i...

i hear all the regular stuff while the system is running, error beeps, aim jingles, etc. but at startup, no matter how looud the sound is set, the gong doesn't gong. i doubt the mystery crash and the lack of a gong could be related, but who knows? in regards to the mystery crash... i have...

i noticed something odd about the crash last night: if itunes is running, and its playing a song, and the crash occurs, the audio will skip and play the same single second of audio over and over and over indefinitely. over and over, skip, skip, skip. vexing.

OS 9 runs with no problems. always has. it'll run indefinitely, with no errors or incedents. i can stuff all the slots with ram, and i can run all the programs i want. except os x, of course. the menubar clock stops. apps with any kind of movement, stop also. eg: aim has the rotaing ad...

i abridged most of my original post. i had run fsck -y as single user as well as run disk utility after booting from the CD. yes, i tried all the ram combos. even with a single 128 module. at this point, its been ok with only two slots filled, and all the peripherals removed. but, i've tried...
