ATA & EIDE — #10

If there is a difference, it's that ATA was the expansion designed to support removeable media (the one that did not was called ATdisk. Both of them came with the PC AT.). By the w…

Thanks for all your help. I did go ahead and buy, then install the drive. Works beautifully. The transfer rate between drives is jaw dropping and I haven't dropped a frame in FCP y…

Upgrading Performa 575 to PPC — #3

I did find some prices for an upgrade and it was outrageous!! $500 some odd dollars to take me to a 603 75 MHz! I think a rev B would be a much better choice. Thanks.

Speaking of old computers... I have an old 636cd. Where could I go to find out what it would be worth if I sold it. It has 250MB HD, 16MB ram, 66mhz chip (I think), 15" screen,…

Mezz, Game Wizard, and OS X — #1

I have been doing a lot of reading into adding a Game Wizard to my rev. D and I still have a few questions about the whole situation. First, if I can, I want to avoid swapping mob…

Mezz, Game Wizard, and OS X — #2

You shouldn't notice any difference in graphics if you swap your mobo with a rev. B. Why? Because rev. B's have rage pro and 6MB VRAM, which is the same as your current rev d. Qu…

Mezz, Game Wizard, and OS X — #3

Right. Thanks. Does anyone know about OS X support, or anyone who is planning drivers or system level threads or whatever to get the Game Wizard to work with OS X? And that addi…
