I have an 'older' G4 400 AGP running 10.2.6 with 768 Meg o RAM, 300GB of HDD with a new ATI Radeon 8500. The ATI CD would not load the driver so I went to ATI's web site and got the driver there. card works fine.

Also added a Pioneer A05 DVD burner. Reads OK, seems to be seen by all S/W. Didn't load any software for it.

Now I've gotten 3 KP's in 2 days. Any Idea other than swap out 1 new thing at a time to see if it goes away??

I run a flashed radeon8500 in my dual 450. Recently I installed a pioneer DVRa06 (firmware 1.05). This caused fairly frequent KPs when a disc was in the drive. My solution, uncheck the put disks to sleep when possible in the energy saver prefs. Since doing this, I've haven't experienced any more panics.

Unfortunately, Panther doesn't seem to fix the issue.

There's a firmware update for the A05 on their site (1.33?), but I think you need to boot into OS 9 to use it (ie, not Classic, the real deal).

I have a flashed Radeon 8500 and installed an A05 in my Sawtooth, with no problems other than the laser in the A05 dying after only 3 months and some non-heavy use. Thanks goodness they have a 1 year warranty.

I've been thinking about hauling the drive into work to flash on an XP box. Classic and OS9 broke on my machine over a year ago and I never needed to reinstall. Installing an entire OS seems like overkill for transfering just a few bytes of data.
