Sonnet upgrades and 9.2.x
Posted by: Quadraman on 2010-03-08 15:47:09
So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you gotten 9.2.x to work with a Sonnet CPU upgrade in spite of what Sonnet says in the manual?

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

Ah, good. 9.2.2 is needed for the last update to the ATi drivers so I just hoped it could be done. I've also heard that 9.2.x is faster than 9.1. So now I just have to get OS9Helper onto those machines and I'll be good to go. One step closer to OS X on a beige.
