Kmike9000 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 but it should work with osx ! i have an 333 mhz pismo and it works just fine with 10.4 maybe you have to upgrade your ram. this costs not so much. try to use xpostFacto -> http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostF...XPostFacto.html or read -> http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...051211074138859 good luck, dont sell that beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac OSX Coder Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Do you have tiger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericssonboi Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think it might be a RAM issue. I have 10.3 and 10.4 discs... but i can't get past 10.3 install. My 10.4 discs are upgrade discs and must be used with 10.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape311 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Actually 192MB should be fine. You may need to update firmware if it hasn't already been done. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telmac5 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Certain earlier PowerPc CPU's for the Lombard cannot run OSX. I have one lombard running 10.4.5 fine while another with an older revision CPU can only run OS 9. There is a program that checks the revision number. http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3CARDS/PPCchecker/ A 2.2 revision Lonestar will not run OSX. Revision 3 is OK. I've seen a report of someone who ran OSX on a Rev 2.2 with 256mb RAM only on the bottom slot. Nothing in the top slot. On some ebay auctions for lombard CPU's, it will state whether it has been OSX tested. Both Lombards we have were built from about half a dozen broken Lombards from ebay!!! The lombard hard drive was plugged into a G4, 10.4.1 installed a long time ago. Then applied 10.4.3 updates Last week I applied the 10.4.4 and 10.4.5 updates from the update application. On 10.4.5 you should disable Spotlight with Spotless 1.3 or the system will constantly access the harddrive to index making the computer unusable!!

Escape311 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I stand corrected. I didn't even think about a different revision. That's very interesting. Thanks for throwing that in there telmac5. Good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
