I should have picked one up when they were in the $100's of dollars. 3DFX was a pivital company in making 3D video for gaming, and the 6000 never made it to market with maybe a fe…

I think I'll keep it for the moment. ;^)

MDD G4... one dumb question — #7
the 1.42x2MDD I briefly had was very very snappy. Even my 1X2G4 QS was a very snappy machine. In all fairness I was using an 800mhz ibook g3 as my other osx machine at the time, bu…

2 GB RAM
Airport
250 GB HD
1x Radeon 9000 Pro AGP with DV…
MDD G4... one dumb question — #5
the MDD has absolutely no problems at all running large IDE hard drives; In fact, I believe that the MDD came in a server configuration with a set of large hard disks in it at some…
MDD G4... one dumb question — #4
OS 9 can work with large drives up to 2TB if you find a copy of MacOS ROM version 9.5 or later. The ROM file that came on the MDD's CD or an iMac/iBook G4 or other late version of …

MDD G4... one dumb question — #1
Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

Whee!
My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem.
Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

Not sure, I haven't really used the DVD-RAM cartridge I have in an old mac. I should try it. I have an external enclosure and that PowerBook 3400c and see what it does. What OS a…

Nice. So, IIRC, you can mount that on any old SCSI Mac and it appears as a hard drive?

Awesome. I feel like I'm connecting with long lost brothers or something.

is this the drive that is slot-loading/cartridge loading? If it's that one (the one commonly sold with the G3's) it's probably not gonna work with the newer DVD-RAM discs. Is is …

Just got an original Apple-labeled DVD-RAM drive, thanks eBay! $30 shipped.
