Hello all,
After lurking & learning here for some time I found myself an old G4 FW800 1Ghz as the new home of my PT 24 mix cards. Thanks to this community it runs OS9 now, booted from the install CD downloaded here. an Addonics sata-ide convertor gave an old 40 gig Intel SSD a new job to do, needless to say this machine is the fastest OS9 Mac I ever encountered.
The ATA-100 port's cable in the FW800 is picky, you have to use the master connector to get the SSD recognised, which is the grey one, not the black one at the end of the cable. Now this pup runs like an ADD phoenix and will make a great realtime FX box. (Also looking for Antares Infinity, another reason why I made this build. If someone can help me out, would be the final touch!)
So a big thanks to all of you! Never thought I would sit behind OS9 again with so much pleasure!
All the best,
Nick
