new-to-me quadra and tests
hi, i just got a free quadra 630 Friday.
it boots my sarge install very well, but not so
well my etch testing - which are getting probably
too old now, dated August 14th -
anyway udevd gave errors and the ide
disk also, but i got to a login prompt anyway
with 2.6.17. then i had no keyboard nor
did power switch respond so i pulled plug.
restarted no damages to macos (had been
very careful from before - crashes with
older '030 lcIII, reformatted with aps powertools)
and fsck cleared rebooting into sarge.
i must say it is much more like useable
this machine. basicly what is seems
close to a 900. cuda adb. ethernet
card is lcIII-nubus asante. i am running
ok with 36mb ram but it can take up
to 128 (costs like $100 though, 64 is
maybe like $40)
not sure what to do now. maybe
work on getting a good installation
of sarge with software i want. maybe
a small test partition of 2.6 kernel.
maybe work with emile a bit more.
i mean if it could boot the 2.6 from
a floppy saving thus lessening the
beating ? (well maybe a
fresh cd would help ...)
