Haven't been active here for more that 4 years, so I thought I'd ask whether some progress regarding getting Cardbus to work under OS 9 has been made? I've seen a post regarding USB 2.0 potentially working, so yeah, I truly hope Cardbus working is just a matter of time

Hello! I was working on this exact thing until the backlight on my 667 DVI TiBook's display died    So I ended up pivoting to some other projects.

I bought a replacement inverter board in the hopes that it will fix the issue. If so, I will resume this effort soon. Given that the EHCI stack has already been built, the CardBus piece of the equation would hopefully be relatively trivial to solve. Stay tuned.

BRUH, i won't be able to sleep tonight out of excitement, fingers crossed!

A vote from me as well for the cardbus!

My Firewire doesnt work at all, installed using the unsupported image install, which worked well in target disk install from a TiBook.

USB works great on all slots.

''unsupported usb device, click ok" prompt shows at every boot, unaware of how or what to use to silence that.

Also would share that these machines have major heat issues which can cause the lower ram slot and the ram itself to become defective. Spent several days diagnosing what i thought was an L2/L3 cache freezing. in both os 9 and OS X, but it turns out it was the lower ram slot all along (the one closest to battery). pitch the bad ram *whizzzzzzz*.  I havent tested to see if the lower ram slot is permanently knackered.

Dropping the processor speed (which affects cache too) in the energy savings settings helps immensely with heat, but some of you might be doing more with the machine and in that case you can flip it over on your lunch break and cook an egg on the underside. Suprisingly working well at a crippled 666mhz! (devil hand emoji)

That's basically the only issue I have with this model - I would love to be able to plug my Cardbus SCSI card which only works under OS9 - need to use my Ti for this purpose instead.

AFAIK it's the Bluetooth - back when I was more knowledgable about those stuff I was able to write a script for OF to disable it, unfortunatelly now I don't know how to do that anymore, though the answer is definitely here, somewhere on this forum.
