i did what ron had suggested in a 7300 a month ago... and it solved all
of my install problems... then placed g4 card back in and it picked it
right up... The 6500 being such an upgrade challenged machine is you
biggest problem (especially the ram limitations apple stuck us on that
box). Switching the card in and out may work, but i have a feeling that
ydl really may not know where to look for it or find it, or even use
it. It may take lots of work to get it to see and/or use the card and
at that maybe even never run smooth. My advice is to do a text install
using original proc on board (and it will run better and faster than it
ever did with os 8 or 9), use it for whatever tasks you can, and look
on ebay for a 7300, 8500, 9500 etc ($50 - $100)... if you want a linux
powerhouse... Those machines work like a champ and run very well with
604 processors and/or upgraded g3/4 cards, video cards, usb cards,
firewire etc... I am running 3 of them as lightweight servers, and
getting ready to use a 6500 in text only... for dns and mail
services... It sounds like an interesting project, i hope it works for
you, but for me it is a dead end machine and i'd give up before it
drove me crazy... Curious to know how it worked though... steve

Any ideas?
