| G3 L2 card and PCI Radeon graphics incompatability? |
Posted by: Ncc74656 on 2022-04-23 23:47:17
i have a 6360 with G3 L2 from interware (japan version @ 240mhz) and both a 7000 radeon (64mb flashed) and 9200 128mb mac version. cards will work stand alone but when paired with the G3 card.... no dice.
system boots, hits mac os loading screen, extension for G3 card loads, system reboots and.... thats it. never makes it back to the loading screen.
anyone seen this? i suspect it has something to do with how ever this G3 card is communicating or registering itself and other hardware with the system rom. maybe conflicting hardware calls? idk. |

Did you hit the Cuda reset switch? |

I did the parameter RAM reset with the keyboard but not the physical button on the motherboard |

are the switch and RP on keyboard different things or do they do the same thing? |

are the switch and RP on keyboard different things or do they do the same thing? The CUDA switch restarts the Power Management Unit, which operates the clock from the 4.5v battery, and allows the computer to power on/off among other things. The PMU is responsible for keeping the NVRAM active, which holds PRAM data.
Cmd+Opt+P+R resets the PRAM data to the default state only, leaving the PMU as it is. |
