Hey there,
I got
1. Seems I managed to modify the G3 board to work with ATX PSUs directly. However when the board tries to boot, it beeps 4 times. Accourding to lookup tables, this seems to be a firmware error, right?
2. I don't have a G3 to verify what this means. Has anyone already dropped a G4 CPU into a G3 with success?
3. My guess was this might be related to the G4 being unknown to the firmware. Is this true?
4. Means I would need to flash the FW – are there options in software via OF prompt, or would I need to desolder and burn the chip directly?
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I got
- a G3 B/W logicboard (dunno which rev)
- a G4 socketed CPU (taken from a G4 Yikes)
