Specs are:
Wallstreet @ 266mhz
4gb HDD
192mb Ram
Cisco Aironet wireless card
This PB is rock solid under OS 9.2.2. I've never had any real issues with it until I loaded up Jaguar. Now I believe Apple states that the wallstreet officially supports OS 10.2 on their site somewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. Everything actually worked out great. The install went smoothly, etc.. I started loading applications and had to reboot a couple of times to get things going and everything was still humming along. I was doing some multi-tasking, surfing the web, typing up a word doc, nothing too intensive when I received a kernel panic. Things went sour after that.
The machine itself would boot but only after it started up, and reboot all by itself twice. There was some video distortion that I noticed as well, but only during bootup and shutdown. What worried me was how dang hot the Wallstreet was. I mean..thermo-meltdown. So here is where I need some help.
I've popped up the keyboard and made sure that the heatshield was properly installed. Everything checks out. I've also used some can air to make sure it wasn't clogged with dust or something simple like that.
Questions are:
1.) Is there a way to test my Powerbook's fan to make sure it's working? Maybe even an OS 9 application that max's the cpu?
2.) Is there a bootable memory test out there for PPC architecture?
Wish this PB would run stable in OS 10, we'll get there hopefully.
