7200 sonnet issues and fixes. Working finally.
Posted by: Macdrone on 2012-11-09 19:28:07
As with all things too many projects not enough time.

Six months ago I got an accelerator G3 500 for my 7200 for cheap right from sonnet the A series.

So a shot in the dark, couldn't make it work. No matter hat I tried.

Tonight I took out all but the accelerator, installed 1.1, no dice.

Profiler said I had a 8, 16, 32 and a 64 chips in. Problem one the 8 meg, pulled that according to the website.

USB card with 9.1, not great idea so I pulled it. Now I restart and bam! Full on G3 500 goodness according to metronome.

My only issue is profiler still says 120 MHz PowerPC. I thought it would say G3 500 in the two lines like my 6100 and other accelerators I've used.

Awesome upgrade overall.
