Title: PowerLogix Firmware?
Post by: cw48494 on October 02, 2015, 10:59:54 AM
Hey everybody, this is my first time posting to the forums though I have browsed for quite some time, anywho;

I just purchased a PowerLogix 1.6ghz 7447A single processor for my Sawtooth, I can't find firmware or how-to's anywhere. If it matters, I'm rolling with Os9.2.2 ofc.

I have the CD with the Open Firmware script that enable the use of 7447 and 7448 with the Sawtooth (and others G4s) but is for NewerTech CPUs. I guess that should work with PowerLogix too.

Iirc, the Sonnet Encore/ST firmware works, but I can't even find that.

I found a download section on OWC but the links seem to be dead. I'm willing to try the NewerTech firmware, if you could upload it I would be extremely thankful!

Have you tried to ask OWC for making the download availaible agian? Ususally they are quite helpful. And if I remember correctly they made the distribution for that cards at a later time? So it would be quite good to have an official soure online again.

I'm a bit lost after mounting the file, what utility/app would I use to install the firmware? I haven't used OS9 much in the past 10 years.
