asking for opinion: WGS 8150 vs. Radius 81/110 — #22

AAACK!!! part 2. I ended up having to go with OS 8.1 as it appears OS 7.6.1 only recognizes 2 gig or smaller. I also decided to pull the SCSI card as there seems to be conflict i…

That's still a steal. Click to expand... Definitely... the carrying case alone, would have been worth driving 2 miles out of my way. It's not the typical Apple carrying case...…

good LCDs to hack with — #14

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 …

DVD in a Quadra? — #6

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…

DVD in a Quadra? — #5

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…

Daystar XCI Bus -- Ever Released — #7

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,…

Assembling the Fastest OS 9 Machine — #52

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.

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…
