Hardware / Solved
January 16, 2012, 03:04 |
Ok, its been over a year but I had another crack at this today and solved it. Googling I came across this site: http://cubeowner.com/kbase_2/index.php?article=62 and it gave me the idea, what if the two 7000's buddy sent me were NOT Mac ones despite what he thought. So I used the file 62-R7000-ROM-208.sit from the aforementioned site and tried to flash the card (in my 8500). While the flashing software ran without complaint in 7.6.1 it did not flash the card. So I wiped the drive and installed 9.1. Downloaded the flashing software and tried again. This time the card was flashed. I powered down, connected my monitor to the card and turned on the Mac. Voila! It works! So now I am re-installing 7.6.1 and we'll see how that goes. |

Operating System / AppleShare IP borked my Apple Menu
January 15, 2012, 23:39 |
Hi, I installed AppleShare IP 5.0.2 on my 8500 (Mac OS 7.6.1) which went without a hitch. But after I rebooted I noticed that none of the items in the Apple Menu that should have flyouts (control panel, recent apps, recent docs, etc) don't anymore. So I fired up extension manager and was warned about a missing item, Apple Menu Options. I poked around the hard drive and can't find it. Anyone else run into this issue? What is the best way to restore that missing item? Thanks, Doug |

Hardware / Help with Radeon 7000
December 19, 2010, 13:44 |
Looks like hardware issues. I figured I'd install Mac OS 9.1 in order to try some later ATI drivers (and I have a second monitor as you suggested). This time when I click ATI Displays rather than just a beep I get the message that no ATI cards were detected. While it is possible that the card is bad, I actually have two of them and they are identical. Neither of them work in my 8500. I have tried the upper and middle PCI slots. Haven't tried the bottom one yet, don't know if that makes a difference. And of course I've pressed the CUDO button each time (and held it down for a count). I got these 7000's off ebay and they were advertised as the Mac version. I punched the product number by itself into Google and came up with hits like this: http://www.welovemacs.com/10249c0200sa.html so I can only assume it is indeed the Mac version. Unfortunately I don't have another Mac to try these cards in and I am at a loss of things to try. Any suggestions? Thanks, Doug |

Hardware / Help with Radeon 7000
December 18, 2010, 17:09 |
Hi, I've got a PowerMac 8500 that I'm trying to get to work with a Radeon 7000. I've got the ATI drivers from this site installed and I removed the nut by the vga port so the card will seat fully. But when I boot the machine the monitor stays black and eventually goes to sleep. If I boot with the 7000 in but the monitor connected to the built-in graphics port I see that the ATI icon is there but the Graphics Acceleration is grayed out and ATI Displays just beeps. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to press the CUDA switch, remove the video ram, put the card in a specific PCI slot? Thanks, Doug |
