Follow-up on (flashed) PC GTX-570 and Nvidia OS X 10.9.2 driver update:
Minor update Saturday to March 4th posts from PC GTX 570/560 users on the Nvidia driver update for OS X 10.9.2 - added Aaron's later notes/DVI port tests with f02.

(And for the 3rd time, revised OWC SSD firmware update reports post on Dave's updater (boot) problems. Confirmed that the Electra 3D is actually in a 2006 MacBook Pro (1,1) which can't boot the Firmware Updater and is not on the list of compatible macbook pro models on the D/L page. (The first sentence of his report mentioned a MacBook Pro 8,3 model not booting a DVD he made. He later said he could boot the MBP 8,3 using a USB flash drive, but it doesn't have the SSD installed. FYI in case anyone saw the page earlier.)
  

Reply to earlier post on Late 2013 Mac Pro Problems:
(reply to an earlier post from a new Mac Pro owner (professional) that said OS X 10.9.2 seemed to have fixed his earlier problems with sleep/restarts.)
note for "Report/Tip on 2013 Mac Pro Sleep/Reboot Problem (10.9.2 helped?)"
I just had my 2013 nMP (Late 2013 Mac Pro) get to a point where it won't even power-up. Happened right after plugging in 2006 Mac Pro as a target drive using Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. nMP shut down immediately after drives appeared on desktop of nMP, nothing will get it started again.
Called apple, talked to a senior service advisor who said Apple is aware of the issue and is collecting data.
