It's marvellous what this new fangled google thing will do... http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/2758-using-getty-serial-port-consoles.html

Some you might remember the desktop G3 I got awhile ago. Here's the setup: 1.) Desktop G3 with OS 10.2 and the usual printer/modem serial ports 2.) An Apple IIgs with the same se…

No 802.11g card will work under OS 9 with Apple-original drivers - if you'll recall, AirPort Extreme (Apple's name for 802.11g) was introduced in machines that wouldn't boot OS 9,…

would u consider setting it up so we can dial in to it with telnet for the purpose of software development?

I currently use a Lucent Wavelan Silver in my Lombard 400 in OS9 and OSX (and OS7.6.1 on my PB 190). It works in OS9 fine with drivers found on the net. With OSX you either have …

the sonnet aria extreme does not work in os 9. The system recognizes that it is there, but does not see it as a wireless card. The sonnet card has a broadcom chipset too.

Not sure you got an answer to your question, so here's my shot at it: In addition to 120MB superfloppies, those drives will also read 1.44MB disks. Sadly, 800K (or 720K) disks are …

AFAIK, they were SuperDisk drives - the 120MB floptical things - and wouldn't read the 800/720k disks.

Anybody got a VST expansion bay floppy drive used in their Lombard or Pismo? If so, will it handle 800K disks, or just 1.44MB?

Right, I will try new software before I try new hardware. There is no point in putting in additional hardware in the beige. I might as well put it in the WGS 9650.

The higher end cards sync perfectly (Targa 2000 for example) as long as you use decent software. Try Premiere 5 on what you have before you go an get new hardware.

If you have a spare PCI slot, there are loads of cheapish PCI OS 9 only capture cards floating round on evilbay. That would give you both better resolution and hopefully synchroni…

Try normal and none for the heck of it. If you have quicktime pro on that machine, use no compression and have quicktime compress into a smaller tasty package.

I have compression set to highest, the only options are highest, normal, or none. I did not see anything to set the FPS, where would that be in Apple Video Player? Is there no wa…

Built in video isn't synced to sound via TBC like dedicated boards have (or use external inputs) so sound tend to go out of sync with longer captures. You also might have issues wi…

Might have to do with your compression, what are you options for compressing? The more compression, the more processor power it will take to finish. But it might have to do with th…

Hi guys. With all the talk about archiving old VHS tapes, I decided to set up a machine dedicated to this task. I chose my beige G3 MT, because I have the personality card with the…

G3's in the 450 range are very cheap. I would buy a used g3 1Ghz before I invested the same amount of money into a g4-500. All in all I wouldn't bother with anything over a g3-450…

No, its my Mac OS 9 machine.

Are you using OS X? If so then the G4 500 will spank the G3 round the block and back. Whether it's worth the money or not is up to you.

Ideally I would like a 1GHz G4 upgrade for my B&W G3, but I can't really afford that. So, the next best thing, a 500MHz G4...these go a lot cheaper than the 1GHz for obviou…

My two cents on this machine... I get a feeling John Sculley wanted to transition Apple into a one-computer company from the day he took over. When Jobs was ousted there were thre…
