Godfather- uh.... I took a picture of where the mezzanine connector could EASILY be soldered onto the rev D iMac board... we're talking less than 20 bucks labor plus parts. It h…

Disconnect monitor from rage II set, reconnect to your brand new Voodoo5 PCI. Sure, its gonna require a serious soldering effort, but I know screwing around with monitors is possi…

hmmm... soldering on a mez? is there Clean uncoated pads to solder to? cuz i kno i guy who would be able to do a job like that

if someone can solder a mezzanine slot onto a rev c/d, then can one not concievably make a PCI break out box for said iMacs? hmmm......

boing! breakout box, now you are talking go go go

Dammit. Hey guys, none of that will ever work. Go read the "never heard of hack" thread. You can ONLY use a "pass through" style card. Guess what? THEY DONT MAKE THEM ANYMORE…

I know they used to make a PCI breakout box for older powerbooks that interfaced with the expansion bay. It added something like 3 PCI slots in a case that one could hook more stuf…

Hey Sine, you oughta submit your numerous new smileyfaces to MacNN. They're good enough to add to the Smiley Face list

I agree. Your smilies rule. Ca$h PS: Anyone got any iMacs they want me to take apart? Heheheh. >

Sad to say, Thoes smileys are not mine :*[ If u want, check them out urself at: http://geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/net/ and http://geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/net2/ they have insp…

So how would you be able to get a pass-thru like 3D card to work? *is* there a way to get the 16MB voodoo2 in an iMac?

Probably. Mezzanine to PCI to Voodoo2. Then hook up the monitor out to the voodoo2 in, and hte monitor in to the voodoo2 out. Theroetically it should work. If anyone has a mac…

Well, I was looking at my microconversions card, and the connector from the mac to the 3d card is really weird looking. How does the connector transfer data between the card and t…

bascially weird looking connector = Mezzanine Mezzanine= PCI slot only smaller So get a mezzanine PLUG (not socket) to plug into the mezzanine connector on your iMac (if it has o…

Would there be a way just to SLI another video card to the one I already have? (iMac gamewizard) instead of having to rip the card apart to get the plug out?

Umm, where did you get a Voodoo2 PCI?

no, i have the iMac card, but maybe I could get a voodoo2 PCI and do a SLI thing

If there is a way to get any 'ol V2 to work on the iMac you can get SLI...but you'd have to get the Obsidian 24x card. It's a dual V2 card, runs a bit more in the $$ dept., and is …

Hey Cash, you should file a suit to PowerLogix for $10 (ten bucks) for paralleling a CPU upgrade with the Frankeinsten concept.

Really. ARgh. a month ago, my computer was pimp. Lots ram, upgraded hD, voodoo2, and 333mhz. didnt have the 466 mhz upgrade though, was planning on getting one in a bit. now T…

Ok, according to the PDF file about iMacs, it says that Rev A CDROMS are NOT interchangeable with Rev D, or damage will result. I've been using my green buttoned (rev D) CD ROM on…

Ca$h, do you know if thats only between Rev A's and D's? I need a replacement for a Rev C drive and was gunna use one out of a fried Rev/B. I couldn't see any probs!!? + wat do the…

Basically, Rev A Cdroms are Rev A only. I dont know why... but I've been breaking that rule for a while and nothing has happened..yet.... So, Rev B-D is all the same (cept for th…

Ok, ic, thanks for clearing that up. Stole some nice mini screwdrivers from physics today so we're all up and running again, cheers
