| Daystar Genesis PSU | |
| Posted by: Powertrip on 2015-10-01 18:30:11 Does anyone know what power supplies Daystar equipped their Genesis line with? I would assume it would be the same as a 9500 but I also know some of the clone makers stuck to off the shelf ATX parts for many things. Thanks! | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2015-10-02 08:19:08 Powertrip, I can pull the cover on my Genesis and let you know. Honestly don't remember if it looked like an off-the-shelf part (Apple or ATX) or if it was proprietary. Will give me chance to fire up that guy as well 🙂 Should be able to get to it this weekend. | |
| Posted by: Powertrip on 2015-10-02 10:30:31 Sounds great. Thank you so much! What are the specs on yours? The only thing I know about mine is that it has 4x 200MHz processors and a TwinTurbo graphics card. But as with my 9600 and G3 projects, I am excited to find out! | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2015-10-06 06:41:37 Powertrip, Obviously I didn't get at the Genesis this weekend- I'll try and do it tonight. | |
| Posted by: Powertrip on 2015-10-06 12:54:47 No worries. Project is on my list but not a super priority. Once I get her up and running though... I will probably take you up on your offer for those MP enable extensions/files! | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2015-10-11 16:04:12 Here are some pics on the PS in my Genesis MP. The board, I believe, is just the Apple board with a Daystar sticker on it, so I don't know why the Apple PS wouldn't work in theory; however the Genesis has a lot of leads to supply the drive cages, the power connector to the CPU board, etc. so I don't know if the Apple PS would cover all those bases. I tried to power up the machine, but while I got chime, I didn't get any video out or signs of otherwise booting. I've had this happen before. Usually re-seating the processor card would allow the machine to boot, but that didn't happen this time. I put in the G3 upgrade card that the machine came with originally, and same result. PRAM battery is good, in case that matters. I didn't take a close look at them, but there are a lot of caps that probably need replacing on that board. Uniserver will probably be getting an email soon : 🙂 Hope these pics help. If you need the Daystar files for the machine, there are ways...     | |
| Posted by: ScutBoy on 2015-10-12 13:50:44 Troubleshooting 101 - make sure all cards - especially the video card! - are fully seated in their slots. Once that was done, the machine boots fine. 🙂 | |
