| Gigadesigns & Mac OS 9 |
Posted by: avw on 2010-10-15 06:19:15
OK, I am still fighting with my G4 equipped with an Gigadesigns 1,4 GHz G4. I cannot find problems reproduceable at any OS, just 9 has problems (Linux not). So I belive in the meantime that Giga Designs upgades do not work with native Mac OS 9.
If you can, please proove me wrong. Has anyone a Giga Designs running correctly with Mac OS 9?

You don't say what you're problems are, so it's hard to offer advice, but where I work we had a fair number of Gigadesign accelerators which all worked fine in OS 9 and in OS X.

It´s about that machine:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11825
We found out that it never worked with OS 9 it always hat X when working correctly. Also Ubuntu 9 works absolutely well without any problems. Only OS 9 has permanentely unreproducable freeces etc. I am struggeling very long now with this machine.
Lately I tried to do a new setup with a bought OS 9.2.2 - with permanent freeces while booting etc.
No real idea. So I thought maybe gigadesigns didn´t test OS 9 back than (or the firmwareupgrade which prevents the machine from using 9 correctly?), ... but please give me some ideas or maybe Gigadesigns documents and software?

Here's the install docs for it, http://tinyurl.com/39m3hul, did you follow them step by step?

Well, nothing new (but thanks for the document). The Firmware update was done (otherwise the Gigadesigns wouldn have worked at any time). And as I said the strange thing is X and Linux have no problems at all! Only 9 permanently hangs.
I thought it could be "This G-celerator is also compatible with Mac OS 9.2.2, although Giga Designs does not test, warrant, nor support third party software operation under OS 9."
That's why I am asking if anyone has this card well working under 9, ...
