As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.

The video card arrived today. It turns out to be a PrecisionColor Pro 24XK. http://lowendmac.com/video/radiuspro24xk.html It's not bad, not the fastest nubus accelerator or the h…

which Apple already did with Mac OS X Click to expand... You know that´s not true Keith Stattenfield and his team did a lot of work at OS 9 already, until Steve Jobs forced …

I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…

Do the ATI OS 9 drivers properly support the 9700? I thought the 9200 (RV250) was the last card officially supported by ATI for OS 9, but I would be delighted to be wrong. Click…

I am seeing more and more barebones LCDs on eBay that include the D/A board (the expensive part.) Many are 640x480. You'd have to build your own enclosure for it. They're also a…

I disagree. You don't need to constantly upgrade a machine to have a longer useful lifespan Click to expand... well the examples you gave for what is still working for you is a…

I would not switch to a Mac mini:- slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non-u…

Yep, you're right - no matter what you do, Mac OS 9 and below simply cannot address any more than 1.5GB of RAM, its a limitation built into the OS, and short of rewriting the Mac O…

16 Meg 30-pin SIMMs are still listed at OWC (Item # OWC30PS16MB) for $9.97. If you need 'em, grab 'em while they're available and max out that SE30 or Q950.

I presume the 1.5GB RAM limit in OS9 is why my Sawtooth (AGP graphics G4) with 2GB RAM installed shows Built-in Memory 1.99GB; VM Off; Largest Unused Block 1.45GB; and MacOS using …

HeHeHe! :lol: I think I've got a NuBus Token Ring Card for interfacing with an IBM Mainframe . . .. . . how'd something like THAT go over at work? ) Click to expan…

What does that screen mean? I have such bad luck. :'( Click to expand... Looks like it could be a power supply issue. The lines are probably the brightness turned up too high…

I actually still have 4 Compaq 5000 units onlined at the house. Even though they are Quad PPro 200mhz they are all 1meg cache per chip. The memory buss gets saturated before the …

Does the Asantefast 10/100 offer similar advantages over motherboard ethernet as it does over the more lowly nubus ethernet cards (i.e., full duplex as well as 25-30mbs)? Click …

My opinion is two things on what you did. 1. Great listing. I wish we could get access to all the models of this type of data to know what to look out for etc when buying old mach…

Any chance this is a Scsi Termination issue? Sometimes the termination 5v or whatever it was is screwed, or the diode that sits near the resistor pack on drives equipped with them…

From my experience using the cards to date, the answer is yes. They really are nice cards and the drivers do provide a benefit. I have this odd ball BlueStreak 10/100 by Dayna th…
