TOPIC
I just did a clean install of the Mac OS on my Power Macintosh G3 and my 10/100baseT and Video cards do not work properly. I looked through the System folder and did not locate any drivers for these devices. Where do I load the drivers from? What are the names of these files? Is there a driver necessary for the Ultra Wide SCSI Card?
DISCUSSION The drivers for these new Build To Order options are not installed with the Mac OS. In order for these options to be used to their fullest potential the drivers need to be in the System folder during startup. The drivers for the 10/100baseT and IxMicro Video cards are located in a new folder on the Apple Macintosh CD, part number 691-1919, that came with your system. To install these drivers:
2. Once the CD is mounted, locate the folder named "Important Extra System Software" and open it. 3. Drag all four files on top of the closed System folder on your startup drive. 4. After the files are copied into your System folder, restart the system in order for the drivers to become available. The names of the driver files are: Apple 10/100 Fast Ethernet Apple IX3D RAVE Engine Apple IX3D Graphics Accelerator Apple IX3D Video Memory Manager No driver file is necessary for the Ultra Wide SCSI Card. The Ultra Wide SCSI Card has all appropriate drivers necessary for operation loaded into an onboard ROM or SIM chip. Thus, no software drivers are necessary. |
