I made a bracket to push down the ppc chip a bit to get it booting this works fine now.



The PPC Heatsink & fan should be held on via 2 x clips. On the backside of the PPC board, make sure these 2 x clips are ALL the way through. At the same time, I`d be checking, Cleaning & re-applying some thermal compound to the PPC Heatsink/Core interface. If doing all this means you still have the problem, make sure the whole PPC Cards Edge Connector is seated correctly on the motherboard connector.

Meantime, I`m trying to find out why an Installation of OS4 totally shafted an IBM 10,000 RPM hard drive. Since the re-boot from Installation, which went great including NOT seeing the copy files issue @ 7% (I formatted using long file names) I get a Software Guru screen. I have managed to hot-swap this drive whilst booting from floppy & deleted the installation partition. It`s still a no go here, but I can throw another 6 drives at it yet. Me thinks the drives RDB is Fux0rd!

Meantime is now by the by & all drives have healthy RDB`s again after much hot-swapping & tricking the Hard drive into thinking it was the original Hard drive seen by Media Toolbox. I picked up on another thread RE using SFS in order to support Long File Names under OS4, so theoretically, I was right about the RDB being shafted, even if I didn`t know the exact reason why.  :-? Now not so sure the Format should allow fux0ring of the RDB in this way. Surely it should say you need to install another File System able to cope with the long filenames or maybe I just mis-interperated the Quick Guide; Though it beats the cr4p out me as to where is the Full Manual??

So far, OS4.0 Classic has installed with a CVPPC card on a PC monitor right from the boot floppy. X-Surf is still a no go despite being plugged directly into a Zorro Slot without the Mediator even being in the same room!

Got lots more playing to do yet, but the hard drives are rcovered at least!  :roll:
