hell even early G3s have trouble decoding DVDs. Click to expand... Add a Wired4DVD card and even a PPC601 or PPC604 can play DVDs well. It's a PCI card though, so no help for…

I can't comment on the '060 (though I do like ColdFires), but remember that there were *three* people in the AIM alliance, not just Apple and Motorola. That big blue gorilla was co…

Yeah, the guy running Daystar Technology (Brian, I think?) is a swell guy. He's kept some excellent hardware on the market and brought some new stuff out that I never expected to …

That's still a steal.

If you look in the SuperDuo thread in Hacks, I link to an ebay store with bare LCD panels of various sizes and costs, and he says he'll throw in a VGA converter board for $30 with …

Quadraman's already conquered (conquested?) a SCSI DVD-RAM. He's asking how to use it with a Quadra. Now I may be entirely wrong about this, but my impression was that if you for…

Well, I just picked it up this morning... took it into work... opened the nice carrying case... and the back says 512k. Sigh. I'll have to open it up and take a peek at the guts, b…

You can use an IDE DVD ROM and a IDE to SCSI converter.

scsi dvd roms are out there and fairly plentiful, just expensive!

Well if I'm correct, the Daystar Technology of today is a very different company to the Daystar Digital of the 80's and 90's. I'd be surprised if anyone currently at Daystar Techno…

Running OS 8.1, with the Apple CD/DVD Driver, a DVD-ROM drive certainly can be used for data storage. Obviously, on a machine so old, you can forget about watching DVD-Video discs,…

The point about the comparison between the m68060 and the Pentium is that the m68060 would've scaled quite well had Motorola had reason to continue improving it (that is, if Apple …

it is defiantly VGA, it works fine with all the computers i have attached it to, mac and pc. Click to expand... That's terrific -- you are very lucky!

I can't comment on the '060 (though I do like ColdFires), but remember that there were *three* people in the AIM alliance, not just Apple and Motorola. That big blue gorilla was co…

Interesting that the Shading numbers vary that much from run to run. I'll run it a few more times when I get a spare moment.

Why not go to the Daystar website and ask them your question directly?

Only the SE and SE/30 cases have flat front bezels. All the rest are curved left to right.

Remember, the m68060 was able to execute more average instructions per clock than the Pentium in spite of having a 32 bit bus as compared with the Pentium's 64 bit bus and in gener…

And to answer another question, the inner surface of a compact mac's crt bezel is not all in one plane, unfortunately, so mechanical hacking is needed, too. Click to expand... …

I'm surprised that it is a VGA monitor (and by "VGA" I don't mean simply its resolution, I mean the VGA interface as well). The car-TV monitors I've run into have composite or S-vi…

They should use the same power supply. The II to IIfx upgrade was a motherboard replacement.

whatever the answer is don't toss the original, its issue could just be a leaky cap or burned out regulator, which can be pretty easily repaired by someone trained and safe while w…

I have an lcd, approximately 8 inch VGA monitor (originally a car tv, but it does work as a monitor) it was given to me by one of my friend's dad, and it displays an 800x600 resolu…

Ok it looks like the yellow is outputting about 4V. So I guess the PS is bad. Can I use one from a Mac II or does it have to be a IIfx power supply? Tempest

to continue on the last point there, yes IF you are interested in doing a hack of this nature mobile LCD's are probally the best bet, I used to work at a car audio WD and 7-10 inch…
