Is there a reference for my G4?

Greetings.
I'm not technically inclined, so bear with me. I have a dual 450; I believe it's called a Sawtooth. I want to upgrade my 2 20 GB hard drives with greater capacity; however, I don't know what I can replace them with.
Is there a reference which will tell me the specifics of what I need to look for in purchasing a drive (or other add-ons)? I would imagine there are some drives which work and some which do not, and I don't know the determining characteristics, or the terminology.
Thanks.

Hi, Miguel!
Let's get you started, at least until Don gets back here.
If you have physically installed the card and the drive already, and your original drive remains installed, then to initialize the drive, launch Disk Utility from your Mac while normally booted to OS X (no need to boot from the install disk), highlight the drive on the left side of the window, and click on the Partition tab on the right side. From the new view that appears, choose the number of partitions you desire, resize them as you want them, name them, choose Mac OS Extended for the format, check the box to install the OS 9 drivers, then click on the Partition button at the bottom to execute.
Before you do the above, you might check with the card manufacturer's site to insure that you have the latest firmware for the card, if you haven't already done so. You might also desire to "zero out" the drive before partitioning it. This isn't essential, but it's probably good practice, since it overwrites the drive with zeroes and maps out any bad blocks (a potential cause of data corruption) which may be present, precluding their future use. If you choose to do this, then first use the Erase tab in Disk Utility, click on the options button, and choose the option to overwrite zeroes to the drive. Use the same Mac OS Extended formatting with the box to install the OS 9 drivers checked. The overwriting process is time-consuming and will take at least a few hours to complete.
Once the drive is partitioned, you can duplicate the entire startup volume from your old drive to a partition on the new one. You can't do a simple copy of OS X to the new drive, but instead have to "clone" it. This can be done using Disk Utility's Restore option, or you can use a (faster) cloning utility like Super Duper or CarbonCopyCloner. SuperDuper is, in my opinion, the easiest to understand and use, although all of these methods are pretty straight-forward. Once your startup volume is cloned to a partition on the new drive, you can simply move the entire OS 9 folder from the new drive to the remaining partition there.

  • Is there a reference test code for Android to see if GPU acceleration is working on a device or not?

    The subject says it all:
    Is there a reference test code (available for downloading) for Android to see if GPU acceleration is working on a device or not once the AIR RC1 with GPU is installed ?
    Perhaps something 'like' away3d info panel which shows if GPU is active or not...
    I will try to build one in the meantime.  Just didnt want to reinvent the wheel here.
    TIA for any pointers.  //GH

    I agree with the above posts, it would be great to have a place with a list of already known problems, and a way for those of us with the time and interest to participate in making the FiOS experience better. Several thoughts:
    1) Send a PM to a moderator here asking to participate in a test, or asking for improvements to the Forum. I have done that, some of the improvements I suggested have occurred (thanks Kathleen and CharlotteS), hoping more will; it can't hurt. And I understand my request to be a beta tester has been forward to development. At least one poster put that kind of request in a forum post and I think his was also forwarded.
    2) Go to the following Verizon Products Trial site and sign up to test new things: https://www36.verizon.com/MM/Protected/TestTrack/SignIn.aspx. No guarantees, not much on the site right now, but if you sign up you might get to participate in the future.
    3) Consider using the Verizon Direct forum at http://www.dslreports.com to report problems rather than the FSC (or after a frustrating experience with the FSC). You have to be a registered user to post in that forum, but I have had a good experience using it. Verizon employees monitor the forum and respond, and only they and you can see the details of your and their posts (one of the things I have suggested to the moderators here is something like Verizon Direct here). 
    I am retired, I have time to put into an effort to improve FiOS TV. Plus I have quite a bit of experience in testing new computer hardware and software before announcment and/or delivery to customers (IBM), so I think I could help (and I really don't think I could hurt it...). Plus in two more days I will have had FiOS TV for three full years, I have gone through all of the good (and a little bad.....) along the way.
    FWIW...

  • Are there any advantages to using a Data Value Reference for LabVIEW Classes?

    Hi
    I recently came across an example where the developer had used a data value reference for the class cluster in LabVIEW.
    What are the advantages of doing this?
    Doesn't the use of LV objects already avoid the creation of multiple copies of data thereby reducting memory usage?
    Thanks
    AD

    LabVIEW's OOP is implemented as a By Value.  This means, as Tst stated, branches in wires could mean copies in the object.  The DVR is a way to make it By Reference.

  • Is there a reference document(example, code) for developing usb mini port driver?

    Hi:
    I studied Bus\USB document of WDK. This document forces on developing USB device driver.
    And there are some IOCTL Interfaces of usb bus driver exposed to usb device, like IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB.
    But those IOCTL Interfaces seem to belong to USB hub driver(usbhub.sys).
    My job is to developing a usb mini port driver, like usbehci.sys. That can work with usbport.sys.
    So I should know the communication interfaces(IOCTL...etc) between them and implement these interfaces.
    Is there a reference document(example, code) for developing usb mini port driver ?

    No there is no reference documents for this, Microsoft stated from the beginning that they own that layer.  You really don't want to go there.

  • Error while updating a custom Windows Azure Diagnostics configuration xml from powershell. "Invalid update to extension reference for role"

    I am attempting to upload a manually edited WADConfig xml to my VM. The WAD service is functioning correctly, I needed to add some custom WinEventLogs. The prescribed steps result in an error.
    What am I overlooking?
    I am following these instructions:
    Step 5: Remotely install Diagnostics on your Azure Virtual Machine
    azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/#virtual-machine
    $storage_name = "wadexamplevm"
    $key = "<StorageAccountKey>"
    $config_path="c:\users\<user>\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\WadExampleVM\WadExampleVM\WadExample.xml"
    $service_name="wadexamplevm"
    $vm_name="WadExample"
    $storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext
    -StorageAccountName $storage_name -StorageAccountKey $key
    $VM1 = Get-AzureVM
    -ServiceName $service_name -Name $vm_name
    $VM2 = Set-AzureVMDiagnosticsExtension
    -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $config_path
    -Version "1.*"
    -VM $VM1 -StorageContext $storageContext
    $VM3 = Update-AzureVM
    -ServiceName $service_name -Name $vm_name
    -VM $VM2.VM
    Unfortunately, I am receiving this error:
    Update-AzureVM : BadRequest: Invalid update to extension reference for role: XXXXXX and reference: IaaSDiagnostics.
    What's missing from the above script?

    Hi,
    Since Azure SDK 2.5 uses the extension model the diagnostics extension, the configuration and the connection string to the diagnostic storage are no longer part of the deployment package and cscfg. All the diagnostics configuration is contained within the
    wadcfgx. The advantage with this approach is that diagnostics agent and settings are decoupled from the project and can be dynamically enabled and updated even after your application is deployed. 
    Due to this change some existing workflows need to be rethought – instead of configuring the diagnostics as part of the application that gets deployed to each environment you can first deploy the application to the environment and then apply the diagnostics
    configuration for it.  When you publish the application from Visual Studio this process is done automatically for you. However if you were deploying your application outside of VS using PowerShell then you have to install the extension separately through
    PowerShell.
    There PowerShell cmdlets for managing the diagnostics extensions on a Cloud Service are -
    Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
    Get-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
    Remove-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
    You can use the Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension method to enable diagnostics extension on a cloud service. One of the parameters on this cmdlet is the XML configuration file. This file is slightly different from the diagnostics.wadcfgx file. You can
    create this file from scratch by either following the article that you are referring to or  you can modify the wadcfgx file and pass in the modified file as a parameter to the powershell cmdlet.
    To modify the wadcfgx file –
    Make a copy the .wadcfgx.
    Remove the following elements from the Copy:
    <DiagnosticsConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2010/10/DiagnosticsConfiguration">
       <PrivateConfig xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2010/10/DiagnosticsConfiguration">
         <StorageAccount name=" " endpoint="https://core.windows.net/" />
       </PrivateConfig>
       <IsEnabled>false</IsEnabled>
    </DiagnosticsConfiguration>
    Make sure the top of the file still has xml version and encoding –
       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    Effectively you are stripping down the Wadcfgx to only contain the <PublicConfig> section and the <?xml> header. You can then call the PowerShell cmdlet along with the appropriate parameters for the staging slots and roles:
    $storage_name = ‘
    <storagename>’
    $key= ‘<key>’
    $service_name = '<servicename>'
    $public_config = '<thepublicconfigfrom_diagnostics.wadcfgx>'
    $storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext –StorageAccountName $storage_name –StorageAccountKey $key
    Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config –ServiceName $service_name -Slot ‘Staging’ -Role ‘WebRole1’
    Hope this helps !

  • Get Specific References for all Controls

    Using slightly modified code from here, I am generating an array of all control references on my main front panel which is then passed through to a number of subVIs. Although this functionality does work, it would be preferable to get specific references to the controls (for example, Boolean RefNum instead of Control RefNum). 
    Getting these specific references seems possible using To More Specific Class and Class Specifier constants. However, data storage becomes an issue because I can no longer use arrays (as they are a different data type). I am not sure if there is another way to pass this data on. I have experimented casting the RefNums to Variants, but to get the data from the variant, I have to know what RefNum type I am expecting which sort of defeats the purpose of doing this in the first place.
    A secondary problem is keeping the names of the references. The Control RefNums do not have names associated with them nor do I know how to assign names to them. I've again tried using variants and using the OpenG Set Data Name function, but this crashes LabVIEW without any indication of why.
    I've attached a version of my code that tries assign names using OpenG Set Data Name and build a variant array. To run it, simple add the VI as a subVI to a VI that has some boolean controls on the Front Panel. Apologies for the rough state of the code - I'm still in the process of figuring out how to make it work so things are a bit messy.
    Solved!

    Get Specific Control Refs.vi ‏28 KB

    I don't know if you'll get much better.  There is really no way I know of to have some fully flexible way of building named clusters of references based on any given front panel set you feed to it.
    I tend to do things the manual way (as there are also a bunch of references to front panel elements I wouldn't need).  I would do all the bundling work in a subVI.
    I'm attaching a zip file that contains the key VI's (unless I missed something) on the first project where I really tried to abstract out the reference building.  The files are LV9.
    On my main VI, I have the subVI called Build UI References early in the VI during an initialization phase.  I pass the reference to the main VI into that subVI that builds all the references.  I worked it as a master cluster that contains elements that are arrays of references of related controls.  It uses another subVI called Get References and Label Names that I created to help find controls.  I still need to use More Specific Class to get the property references, but I don that only once at the beginning.  I then pass that cluster wire out and to anywhere in my VI that would need access to the references for front panel elements.
    I use arrays of strings to supply the names I need to build and bundle the references.  This lets me ignore controls I don't care about.  The disadvantages to my system is that if I change the name of any control, I need to update the name within this subVI.  And if I want to add any controls, not only do I need to add the label names for the searching functions, I also need to update my typedef cluster (and you definitely want this to be a typedef) to add a spot to store the new reference.
    I hope this gives you some ideas.  It worked for me and I will likely use the scheme on another project (or even rewrite past projects using this scheme.)  If there are any ideas for improvements, I'd be happy to hear them.

  • Getting Menu Reference for a VI other than the current one

    Is there any way to get a Menu reference for a VI that isn't the current VI? There's Current VI's Menubar, but that only works on the current VI. I'd like something that does the same thing, but accepts a VI reference to a higher-level VI. I would expect to find a Property Node entry for it, but there doesn't seem to be one. This is for 8.2.

    eaolson wrote:
    A functional global is what I wound up using. It just seems odd to me that there's no other way to get access to that reference.
    It also seems counter-intuitive to me that a Shortcut Menu reference is only valid inside that particular frame of the Event Structure that caught it. If you're using a producer-consumer architecture, you can not send that refnum off to the consumer loop for handling; it can only used within that frame of the Event Structure.
    I am not sure what you mean. The refnum seems to be accessible from everywhere .
    As i wrote above:
    You can store the Menu Reference to a global variable for example, and you can read it, in any vi you want, just like all variables.
    Note: Do not try to use a property note. Use the menu functions

  • Delivery without reference for stock transfer within the same plant 311

    Dear all,
    I need to create a delivery without reference for stock transfer within the same plant, movement 311,  i.e. just from 1 storage location to another storage location.
    I tried to use VL01NO with delivery type UL.
    Now my question is how can I assign a receiving plant for a customer?
    I can't do the MIGO or MB1B document because I need the delivery document (packing list, forms, Texts,...).
    It's possible this option???
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    What is the item category you are assigning while doing VL01NO?  Check the schedule line category for that item category assignment.  That Schedule line category has an option for one step GI.  There you can assign 311 or create a separate item category and schedule line category and in that SC assign 311. 
    Thanks
    Krish.

  • Is there a SDK for Clipboard?

    I was looking at the clipboard kit yesterday and was
    really amazed how well it was done. Thanks.
    Initially we were thinking to use slide for our WebDAV
    application and now it seems that the oracle Clipboard
    (mod_oradav) would really deliver what we want to achieve. To evaluate this a little further I would like
    to have some questions answered in some fashion.
    1. Does anyone have any experience implementing the
    open PL/SQL reference for user defined schema?
    2. What will it take to implement a user defined Oracle
    database connection so that we can extend Clipboard's
    servlet to the user defined schema? I was thinking to
    implement Navigator and connection wrappers.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    One thing to note is that there are many public domain clients for mod_dav that can be used with mod_oradav (cadaver for example, see http://www.webdav.org/ ) Windows explorer also works against mod_oradav (as a web folder). perhaps http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/index.html would have something useful?
    Other groups in oracle have implemented custom drivers (PL/SQL) packages for use with mod_oradav. CRM for example, we developed one for use with Oracle Portal.
    The clipboard is hard coded to work against the reference implementation.
    That being said, the development group would like to make the cliboard and intermedia driver open, so people can fix bugs, modify it etc. Stay tuned...

  • Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board?

    My ethernet port went dead on my IMac.  I unplugged the ethernet cable and plugged it into my laptop and it worked instantly.  I am still able to connect wirelessly.  I bought an apple USB to Ethernet converter and plugged it in.  It worked for about 3 days and then it went dead.  Once again I was able to unplug the ethernet cable, plug it into my laptop and instantly had a connection.  Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board and if not how do I figure out which logic board I need?
    Thanks

    This problem baffled me. I kept getting the "ethernet cable unplugged" error after testing my cables good. Was abut to write it off as port gone bad when I found this thread.
    The YouTube video reference above fixed my problem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1P6X87qArs)
    Basically go to SETTINGS/NETWORK. Then highlight your ETHERNET port and click the ADVANCED button. From there click the HARDWARE tab.
    Set
    CONFIGURE to MANUALLY
    SPEED to whatever your ethernet speed is, in my case 1000baseT
    DUPLEX - FULL DUPLEX, FLOW CONTROL
    Leave MTU at Standard
    Hit OK.
    Then don't forget to hit APPLY. I didn't do this the first couple of times assuming hitting OK applied these settings. You gotta hit APPLY.
    In about two seconds, my Ethernet connected again.
    I went back and reset it to AUTOMATIC just to test and after doing so got the cable unplugged error again. So I am leaving it on manual and it's working.
