GigaDesigns Firmware Update Disk

I'm a long time Giga User. Recently, I went to transfer a 2.0 gig processor upgrade from my Sawtooth to my Quicksilver, but I lost the Giga Designs upgrade disk.

Does anyone have one I could use or have it for download? The Giga Design website no longer exists, and their phones have been disconnected.

G4 Sawtooth (modified), Mac OS X (10.4.10), 2.0Gig Processor, loads of RAM

Hello,
I have a disk that includes:
- Giga Designs Updater 3.0.1,
- Giga-Meter 1.01
- Firmware Updater Installation Guide
- Single & Dual 47A AGP Installation Guide

I used this to install my Giga Designs G-Celerator dual 1.8Mhz on my G4 Digital Audio 533Mhz
If this works for you, I'd be happy to send it to you as a stuffed file. Contact me separately at ***********@******.**

Cheers,
Jim

Hey Jim,

I need the Giga Meter 1.0.1 extension. Do you still have it? Apparently GigaDesigns closed their support site where it used to be available for download.

I got it already, but thanks a bunch. Gigadesigns should put the download on a free server somewhere. People are still gonna need the software even if the company is out of business.

It does seem like the company is out of business since the website is completely gone.

An semi-related question: Anyone have any issues upgrading to 10.5.x on a GigaDesigns CPU?

Jim,

Could you send me the Giga Design image, please? I can't find the manuals or software anywhere. I would really appreciate that.

Thank you.

Long time Giga user? So am I, and I have the same problem. The biggestl harddisk crashed on my G4 AGP Graphics, and now I can't get the old original 25Giga up to the accustomed speed. If you have gotten the driver, could you share it with me?

Much obliged
