I have a Dual Processor 500Mhz G4.
The only disc it will boot off is 9.0.4 I've tried booting off a 9.1 disc, an OSX (10 & 10.2) disc, Norton Utilities 6 disc. Even if I install 9.0.4 and try and upgrade to 9.1 - the mac crashes when I try to run the upgrade installer. Basically looks like this machine doesn't like anything above 9.0.4!! It runs fine under 9.0.4 with Logic 4.8.1, MOTU PCI-324, Adaptec 2940UW, MOTU MTP AV. I've stripped everything out of the machine, even swapped out the RAM as I heard this might be an issue. Back to the bare bones of Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and 1 slot of RAM; no joy. I've used my OS CDROMs and borrowed discs from friends thinking my disks might be damaged so dodgy CD's are out of the question. HELP! |

When I upgraded from an 8600 to a G4/400 I had to ditch my 2940UW. It would not live with my audio and video cards. Especially my second ATI card for dual monitors.
I installed an IDE drive and all is well. Tested 50+ 16bit mono tracks. Check the Apple and Adaptec sites for more info. I was also under the impression that Adaptec was dropping Mac support. Try removing the 2490 and installing the OS. -------------------- G-Dub
