I've been working with Apple's forgotten workhorse, the XServe G4. It's an orginal dual 1.0GHz with FW 400 and tray load drive.
However, I ran into the issue of the Ethernet port it giving up after about 20 minutes of running under any circumstances. I was able to secure an XServe G4 board, but it was for a 1.33GHz with slot load and FW800. My only concern is before I plug it in is the socket compatibility between the dual 1.00 and 1.33GHz processor boards. Would there be any incompatibilities? Or could it be plug and play from the start.
